(34,240 posts)David DuVal I'm am a 51 yr. old, conservative white man from Tulsa, Ok who has worked all my life, paying taxes and have been a loyal patriot of this country. If our police training and hiring results in a grown man putting his knees and full weight of his body into the back of an unarmed and what appears to a teenage girl, then our pollice training and hiring is a total and complete failure. I mentioned my demographic because there are millions of men like me who will NEVER accept our blessed nation becoming something this hideous and dispicable. I have several police/OHP and DA office friends who I am sure agree with me. There will be total reform in police departments across the nation because this will NEVER be tolerated and will be completey eliminated. So, as far as that terrible cop goes, and any other law enforcement with an obvious mental disorder(s) and/or handicap, your services will NEVER be allowed again. We the people will not EVER accept this. Our nation has fought the worst of enemies in the past. This is nothing. This is just taking the garbage out. I, and every other good citizen of this country, expect, and will not accept anything short of TOTAL reform of police tactics, training and procedures. How did this guy get hired? Something this disturbing doesn't just appear some day. I am sure the problem is systemic. If I lived in the community I would consider a complete purge of all leadership as well. I would bring every charge possible against the cop. I would consider legislation to bring stronger charges in the future. But, more importantly, Mckinney, Texas City government needs to take a hard look at what kind of brutality you are unleashing on what should be a lovely community. I wouldn't allow it if I were mayor. Your whole community service culture needs to be complete gutted and reinvented. You are very sick right now. You need to act decisive, sure, and with crystal clear vision and return your community back to the culture our forefathers created and our fallen soldiers died for. If you don't, you will loose your nation forever.
