I support McKinney Police Officer Eric Casebolt
I have not said much regarding the incident in McKinney Texas with the *pool party* and the accusations of racism and Police Abuse. I have sat back and watched as the *keyboard warriors*, the experts in all things to do with Law Enforcement, showed the world that they really don’t know much about Law Enforcement, and even less about humans, the stress they operate under or what it means to reach a *breaking point*.
Corporal Eric Casebolt, given the intensity and stress level of the last 2 calls he responded to, should not have been on the street at that particular point in time, there is NO WAY he could have been at 100% in his personal job readiness or mental state given what he had just responded to.
Casebolt was NOT crazy, he was terribly stressed, and his superiors failed to see that and in doing so, failed Casebolt.
He had already been called to two suicide calls that Friday — one involved having to console the wife of a man who had just ended his life. During the second call, he managed to talk a teenage girl off her parents’ roof. SOURCE
Some say that is no excuse but I am not trying to make excuses, you see, in MY opinion the McKinney Police Department, the Chief of the McKinney Police, Greg Conley, and the city itself were intent on throwing Eric Casebolt *under the bus* in an effort to maintain the peace with the *race baiters* and to be as politically correct as possible.
In my not so humble opinion Corporal Eric Casebolt should have already been on paid administrative leave following the back to back suicide calls, much like an Officer does when involved in an on-duty shooting. The stress of a call where someone has just died a violent death, or one where you have in some way stopped another person from committing an act that would bring on a serious injury or violent death, especially when these events occur back to back, can cause ANYONE, regardless of their skill, level of job training or years on the job to have a bit of a breakdown.

Black Power: A Done Deal
I didn’t write this piece, it was sent to me by a close friend for my perusal and I am guessing because he knew I would use it. We have often heard the expression *The Truth Hurts* and I am convinced that this piece will leave a great many in excruciating pain.
