I am still waiting for the investigation to be revealed and see the story from start to finish – not just the part that the main street media wants you to see where their story criticize the Police and try to put them in a bad light. We have to realize the main street media continues to work with this administration to destroy this country story by story.
It is time to rethink education from top to bottom because education in the present form is not working and it seems this is a good example of a teacher who is frustrated.

“I’m almost to the point of wanting them all segregated”: Texas teacher pens breathtakingly racist McKinney post (why is this a racist story?)
Fourth-grade instructor Karen Fitzgibbons shares her inflammatory thoughts about “the blacks”
A fourth grade teacher in Texas has “apologized to the appropriate people” after she defended resigned renegade McKinney cop Eric Casebolt in a Facebook post calling for a return to segregation.
According to the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal, Karen Fitzgibbons, a fourth grade teacher at Bennet Elementary in Wolforth, Texas, took to Facebook on Tuesday to express her frustration with the outrage in McKinney, Texas and nationally after a police officer was videotaped violently manhandling a 14-year old girl at a pool party and pulling out a gun on other unarmed teenagers.
Fitzgibbons wrote that the she was “ANGRY” the cop had resigned and blamed “the blacks” for causing “racial tension,” complaining that all the commotion had pushed her “almost to the point of wanting them all segregated on one side of town so they can hurt each other and leave the innocent people alone.”
“I’m going to just go ahead and say it … the blacks are the ones causing the problems and this ‘racial tension.’ I guess that’s what happens when you flunk out of school and have no education. I’m sure their parents are just as guilty for not knowing what their kids were doing; or knew it and didn’t care. I’m almost to the point of wanting them all segregated on one side of town so they can hurt each other and leave the innocent people alone,” Fitzgibbons wrote in the since-deleted post.
She continued: “Maybe the 50s and 60s were really on to something. Now, let the bashing of my true and honest opinion begin….GO! #imnotracist #imsickofthemcausingtrouble #itwasatagedcommunity.”
When asked about her now deleted rant, Fitzgibbons told the Avalanche Journal that she hoped the whole thing had blown over already as she had “apologized to the appropriate people,” even though Fitzgibbons insisted that her words weren’t actually “directed at any one person or group.”
“It was not an educational post; it was a personal experience post,” she added.
According to the Avalanche-Journal, Andy Penney, director of public relations and information at Frenship Independent School District, confirmed that District knew of Fitzgibbons’ post and that she remained a fourth grade teacher at the elementary school.

Now that the officer has resigned – let’s walk through the whole story – starting with the young people crawling over the fence! If they weren’t invited to the party, what made them feel like they could barge in on the party to begin with. What right did they feel they had? Haven’t they been taught this isn’t appropriate? Why didn’t their own community have a party for them if they were graduating?
It is sad that this policeman was trying to do his job and you have young people who have not been taught to respect authority whether it is a policeman, their mother or father and then he loses his job for trying to do his job. Your damned if you do and your damned if you don’t! The young girl who was on the ground was out-of-order for not following the directions of the police who were trying to bring law and order to the area. One lawyer stated that these children would be scared for life by this event. After all of the facts of the case are brought out, the young people who caused the problem from the start should be charged with trespassing.

It seems the liberal media hair on fire was the real story here and boy were they really on top of this HO HUM story to make it into a RACE story.
“A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes,” said Mark Twain. And in the age of social media, that lie can get to Mars and back before the truth can bestir itself.
Perhaps it’s a little much to compare the story that bombed Twitter and the internet yesterday with a “lie.” After all, police did actually respond to the disturbance at a suburban pool and apparently roughed up some black teenagers, with one officer pulling a gun.
The “lie” is one of omission — as in, what really happened at that pool and why the police response had absolutely nothing to do with race.
Apparently, the pool (common ground for only owner’s in the neighborhood and assumed the party was sponsored by parents in the neighborhood) was hosting an end-of-the-school-year party for teenagers in the subdivision, when dozens of uninvited guests showed up. The pool is semi-private as it is only open to residents of the subdivision and guests. But the event was promoted on Twitter (and who was responsible for this) and apparently non-residents began crashing the party by climbing the fence. When asked to leave by residents and pool management, they refused. They also refused to refrain from smoking pot and drinking.
What happened next was predictable.
Police were called to the scene and attempted to get some of the trespassers to sit down while they investigated. And as usual, the media never lets a liberal crisis go to waste, many of the teens fled and police chased some of them down. This is when the video of the incident with police began. There does not appear to be any video of the initial police contact with the teens (the police need to release the initial contact not just when things went haywire).
One resident, Benet Embry, a black man, posted on Facebook about the events leading up to the police call. “Look, I LIVE in this community and this ENTIRE incident is NOT racial at all,” Embry wrote. “A few THUGS spoiled a COMMUNITY event by fighting, jumping over fences into a PRIVATE pool, harassing and damaging property. Not EVERYTHING is about RACE. WE have other issues that NEED our attention other flights of made up make-believe causes.”
In another post he is critical of media coverage of the incident. “I’ve never seen such irresponsible reporting and miss management of media resources in my life,” he said.
Another McKinney resident, Bryan Gestner, posted on Facebook, “This was a Twitter party that turned into a mob event. Jumping pool fence. Assaulting 2 security guards, attacking a mother with three little girls. The video doesn’t show everything.” He continued saying the kids were drinking and “smoking weed” and they would not listen to any of the adults around the pool.
“This isn’t about race,” he continued. “This is about outside kids invading our neighborhood and had no respect for authority or the residents here. I have a target on my back now and I have been threatened by these punks that they are gonna shoot up my house when all I did was try to control the mob and actually tended to the girl and the boy who had a bloody lip.”
“Yall don’t know the whole story,” Gestner continued. “I commend the officer for handling this situation.”
Gestner wrapped up his post alleging that these same kids came back into the neighborhood Saturday night. They were “kicking in people’s front door, stole a truck and crashed it into many vehicles. They vandalized dozens of cars and were stealing things.” So did this really happen?
I am not excusing the behavior of police — one of whom pulled a gun on unarmed teenagers. But this was a situation that easily could have spiraled out of control into a riot. Police applied the force they thought appropriate — something that can be debated among reasonable people.
Neither can I excuse the behavior of the media who sought to blow up a clear case of trespassing and hooliganism into a racial confrontation. This is what you get when you have agenda-driven journalism. The only “facts” reported are those that fit the narrative and it was apparently too inconvenient to include facts that would have broadened the context of the incident for their audience.
Will this context be given by the liberals who have been on fire for the last 24 hours since this story broke? Or, like all racial incidents in recent memory, will the facts and the truth be ignored in slavish devotion to a false narrative?
In the end, just tell the whole story not just the story to make the police look bad. In all of the scenes on TV not one story told the story from start to finish. The only story on TV all day long was the policeman and the bikini-clad young girl. So tell the story behind the office pulling out his weapon – what was the real story behind this step? In the end the Police Department need to pull out no stops to investigate and reveal exactly what really happened from start to finish and pull no punches.
