Dajerria Becton, a 15 year old girl, was slammed repeatedly into the ground by a white McKinney, TX Police Officer Corporarl Eric Casebolt on Saturday June 6, 2015, while attending an end of school year pool party.  This occurred after Ms. Becton was attacked by two adult women, who were also white, but somehow have managed to escape any criminal charges. 

After review of the cell-phone video taken by 15-year old Brandon Brooks, there is no other conclusion possible other than Ms. Becton and other youth involved were targeted based on race, and were subjected to excessive force on several different occasions because of this.  But please, watch the video and make your own determination on whether or not this was a reasonable response.
