- Demonstrators assemble in McKinney, Texas, to protest the violent police response to a pool party.
I came across what the Washington Post‘s Kathleen Parker had to say about the incident at the pool party in McKinney, Texas. “Video imagery doesn’t get much worse than a white police officer throwing an African-American girl in a bikini to the ground, kneeling on her back as she cries, and drawing his gun on other teens,” she wrote.
I’ve seen pundits remind us dozens of time that most cops are upright, but I’ve never seen a reminder so perfunctory. Parker wasn’t just going through the motions; she made sure we knew it.
