‘He should be drug-tested, then fired’

[kpete]

As civic organizations meet with officials in McKinney, Texas to discuss a local police officer’s attack against black teenagers at a pool party, the father of a teenage girl allegedly involved in the incident has called for the officer to lose his job.

“I’m not disrespecting the entire police department, because I saw some people doing the right thing, trying to keep the matter right,” Jahi Adisa Bakari said at a press conference on Monday. Bakari accused the officer, Eric Casebolt, of pushing his 13-year-old daughter during the encounter on Friday.


“This guy was out of control,” Bakari said. “He should be drug-tested, then fired. He shouldn’t keep his job, and I’m not gonna stop until he is fired.”

1. Kick.

[In_The_Wind]

2. He should be fired.

[Dirty Socialist]

3. I Will Bet Dollars to Donuts

He is on 'roids.

[KittyWampus]

4. Cops should be tested for steroids. Zero tolerance.

[UtahLib]

5. I absolutely agree. nt

[stonecutter357]

6. K&R!

[Dont call me Shirley]

7. DOJ institutes mandatory steroid testing on Albuquerque police...

[dorkzilla]

16. that is a great thing!

Let's just say I personally know/am related to a few LEOs and this is a great idea...quite a few supplement their workouts, shall we say.

[Dont call me Shirley]

27. They shouldn't be teaching D.A.R.E. to our kids while using steroids.

[dorkzilla]

28. agreed! nt

8. Drug test 'em. Just like welfare recipients in Florida. Because if it wasn't for the bad ol' drugs

Mister Police Officer would have been just fine.

The drugs made him do it.

Sure they did.

[MindPilot]

19. I know, right?

What a piss-poor excuse for bad behavior. I'm perpetually disgusted by our society's re-direction of responsibility from the person to some nebulous thing.

"If we just outlaw drugs\guns\alcohol\tobacco\whatever, the world will be all unicorns and rainbows"

26. I have been shooting up testosterone for 40+ years. I have yet to wrestle a black woman in a bathing

suit to the ground.

I even read the inserts, and there is no warning about racism being a side effect. Some other stuff, but nothing about hating people after.

So I am skeptical...

[Cracklin Charlie]

9. I know there's nothing really funny about this incident

But when Larry Wilmore showed the clip of that officer's ridiculous barrel roll last night on his show, I could not stop laughing.

I could have watched that clip and Larry's reaction to it for the entire program. So many lol's.

And I think this dad has the situation summed up perfectly.

[rpannier]

12. That was my WTF moment

I was thinking, "Why is the idiot rolling?"
No one was shooting at him

[tblue37]

25. He tripped over a long tree root and rolled up out of the trip. But he'd

embarrassed himself in front of a bunch of kids, as well as other cops, so that really ticked him off and he took it out on the kids.

[Cracklin Charlie]

29. Yeah, and on accounta he got a strawberry on his elbow!

What a doof!

[valerief]

13. Love Larry. Loved his coverage of the incident. nt

[packman]

15. Really? A barrel roll?

I've seen the clip several times and I just assumed he tripped in his excitement to get to the action. If he did do a deliberate barrel roll (AKA - Chuck Norris and other action figures) then the guy definitely has mental issues.

[zeemike]

20. It looked deliberate to me.

And yes he has mental issues.

[Cracklin Charlie]

30. Do you really love Larry?

I do, too. He is so good at putting shame exactly where it belongs. I thought his show last night was really good.

However, I do find myself trying to count how many dimples there are on Larry's face. I don't think I have ever seen a man with so many dimples.

[valerief]

34. Ha! Yeah, he's dimply all right. I love the format of his show, too, although

I wish he could spend more time with some of his guests (without cutting his opening segment). That would mean a longer show.

[relayerbob]

10. Fired ... then jailed

[stage left]

11. Yes, he should be fired.

Then prosecuted for assault, convicted, and sued to the ground.

[valerief]

14. +1

[Solly Mack]

17. Yes, please.

[brewens]

31. Sued right down to his last pair of shit stained underwear! LOL n/t

[stage left]

33. For God's sake

let him keep those, brewens.

[raouldukelives]

18. Kick. Firing should be the least of his worries. nt

[RoccoR5955]

21. There needs to be a crackdown on these cops.

They ALL need to be tested for steroids. I believe that a lot of this violence is, in part, due to 'roid rage.

[elleng]

22. Very important, the culture surrounding him promotes his behavior,

and likely that of others. Pressure must be put on the 'higher ups' in his department, and others, to not tolerate this, and to INSIST on a return to civil behavior.

See this, the Stanford experiment: http://www.democraticunderground.com/1017270783

[gopiscrap]

23. I totally agree

all fucking cops should be drugged tested. This pig needs to go!

[Bobbie Jo]

24. Fired, at an absolute minimum.

This lunatic has no business with a gun and a badge. None.

[Egnever]

32. Well said

Couldn't agree more
