Release the 911 tapes from McKinney, Texas

As you know, a disturbing YouTube video surfaced of a McKinney, Texas, police officer, Corporal Eric Casebolt, verbally berating and physically assaulting several Black youth. One of the victims Dajerria Becton was brutally forced to the ground with her arm pinned behind her and Corporal Casebolt’s knee in her back. Like the other victims of Corporal Casebolt - she wants justice. She has spoken out and said that firing him isn’t enough.

The McKinney Police Department still hasn't released the recordings of the 911 calls that preceded Corporal Casebolt's violent behavior. Start a petition to demand McKinney Police Chief Greg Conley release the tapes.

  • Release the 911 calls that prompted Corporal Casebolt’s response at the Craig Ranch Community Pool!
    This is important because this incident is one in a long line of incidents that continue to demonstrate that Black youth are routinely dehumanized in our society. Implicit bias and perceptions of Black youth directly impact they way that they are engaged. Because these youth were seen to not belong in the area, the officers did even attempt to engage them as residents or even guests but rather as intruders. This is evidenced by the fact that the teenager who filmed the incident was white and therefore was not engaged by the police at all - despite capturing the entire event on camera. We have seen in past, how these interactions can quickly turn deadly. The community can not begin to heal until these issues are exposed and confronted in a honest and transparent fashion.
