McKinney Spotlights US White Supremacy Police State (New Video)
McKinney, Texas protesters demonstrated in droves Monday night, calling to fire the white police officer who pulled his gun on black youth at a pool party. United States apartheid’s epidemic of black police brutality against white Americans shows no end in sight. The chaotic violent scene at the McKinney pool party seemed too calculated, as though possibly part of Jade Helm 15 exercises slated for Texas, along with eight other southern states, each with more than their share of generational racial tension.
Three days before the protest, a white police officer reportedly responded to reports of a disturbance at a pool party. He is seen in the video acting aggressively toward black youth: slamming down to the ground a slightly built female youth a bikini, sitting on her back, and pulling his gun on two black youth.
McKinney community members gathered with signs and chants Monday evening. “NOT MY AMERIKKKA,” read one sign. A trending Twitter Hashtag Campaign is, #NotMyAmerica.
White adults at the party was called black youth racial slurs and told them to go back to their “Section 8” housing. It has been opined that those women were paid actors. McKinney is an affluent neighborhood where such overt unacceptable racism would be out of the ordinary.

A video on YouTube shows Tatiana Rhodes, one of the party organizers, saying white people not only called her names. She was also assaulted by the two white women after she checked them on their racist language. Rights advocates urge people to check racist comments when hearing it.
Kirsten West Savali for Common Dreams reports:
There are various accounts at this point. There’s what the McKinney Police Department had to say, both on Facebook and in a hasty press conference. At this point, though, in the aftermath of the extrajudicial killings of Freddie Gray, Eric Garner, Tamir Rice, John Crawford and Walter Scott, most of us know that any words coming from police should be considered lies by default until visual proof is provided that corroborates their version of events.”
Youth at the pool party gave statements to Buzzfeed News, insisting that white adults in the neighborhood where the party was held called them racial slurs and told them to go back to their “Section 8” housing. In a video posted to YouTube that has gone viral, Tatiana Rhodes said she was not only called names, but that two white women assaulted her after she checked them on their racist language.

Common Dreams points to white on black racism:
* Only black youth (as shown in the video) were assaulted, restrained and treated like wayward chattel in need of physical discipline. White youth are walking around freely.
* At least two white youth literally argue over who can return a dropped flashlight to an officer while their black “friends” are simultaneously thrown to the ground.
* As the white youth gleefully approach, one officer greets them with a jaunty, “What’s up, man?” When they hand him the flashlight, he responds with a kind, “Thank you.”
* As a white girl on the scene insists, they had nothing to do with any problems —“It was those guys.” Officer Friendly responds, “OK, guys, I appreciate you. They’re free to go.”
* At the video’s conclusion, only black youth have been violated.
“During his press conference, McKinney Police Chief Greg Conley said no one was injured, further proof that black pain is never entered into the equation,” writes Savali. “These children could have been killed at any moment for playing at what should have been labeled a “whites only” pool.”
Whether manipulated to create violent chaos for the ultimate aim of military rule, as the US has a bad habit of doing in other countries, or a matter of overt racism escalating due to the justice system routinely dismissing white police officers’ violence against blacks, it appears there’s a new and frightening collective psyche among law enforcement officers and operatives. Increasingly apparent is an apartheid in the US reaching new height. Police forces throughout the nation defend brutality by fellow officers, “brothers.” This has created a cognitive dissonance regarding the sense of “justice.” Covert racism has been at the root of most of America’s ills for generations. Today, however, overt, violent racism is “normal,” not exceptional.
Savali puts it this way: “This white supremacist infrastructure is constructed to keep our children gridlocked while their white counterparts cruise on by in the high-occupancy vehicle lane. And at each checkpoint, there are monsters in uniform who will desecrate their black flesh and tap dance on their bones without giving it a minute’s thought.”

Is it just my perception or is the racist police state escalating its brutality weekly? This really does seem to be a pandemic with no end in sight, certainly no peaceful one. Do these cops spend days in sensitivity training or just thuggery?
