“On “The Kelly File” Monday, host Megyn Kelly spent almost half the program trying to justify the decisions made by the police during the incident at a McKinney, Texas pool party on Friday.
Kelly began by talking to “Sean,” a man who was at the pool party with his wife and young children. He said he called police because “the music that the DJ was playing wasn’t appropriate for my son, or even for the teens.”
“Sean” said that situation only got out of hand, however, when the teens at the party began to “attack” residents by calling them “racist.” White residents had complained to the pool security guard that the group of teens — who were attending a combination graduation/birthday party — didn’t look like they lived in the community.”

This is a sad situation. Apparently the cops never thought to ask to call any of the black teens parents or to ask if they had been invited to the party. Since when is it against the law to mouth off against cops? I have seen countless whites curse out cops and nothing as done to them.
I am disgusted but not surprised by the attitudes of the community members and media representative who supported the actions of this cop. I am African American as well as both a Vietnam and a Desert Storn veteran who deeply loves America. Ten years ago, I decided to live out my retirement years in a foreign county that is not as hostile against Black people as the USA. Everything I have seen in the media (Oscar Grant, Travon Martin, Eric Garner, Michael Brown, Freddie Gray and now this atrocity in Texas) leads me to believe that the America I loved no longer exists the racists among you are probably happy to hear that, with my departure, there is one less black to contend with but more and more ai think ai made the right decision.
