ROYSE CITY, Texas — A police officer has been fired after viral video showed a violent confrontation with a Black family at a community pool.
The Royse City Police Department announced Monday that the officer, who has not been publicly named, was terminated following an Internal Affairs investigation. The officer had been placed on administrative leave after the Aug. 3 incident at the Creekside community pool.
Body camera and dash camera footage captured the chaotic scene. In the video, one officer is seen pulling a woman by the hair. Other officers push a woman who was holding a child. Another officer punches a young woman in the face multiple times.
Internal Affairs determined the fired officer “did violate department standards, policies and procedures.” The department said the actions of three other officers involved in the video were found to be justified.
An 18-year-old who was arrested at the scene will not face charges. The case of a second woman, 35, who was taken into custody for interfering is being referred to the Collin County District Attorney’s Office. Police are also investigating an unidentified third person who allegedly struck an officer in the face.
The Next Generation Action Network, which has been advocating for the family, released a statement saying the termination confirms serious misconduct occurred. However, the group said firing one officer cannot be the final step and expressed concern that the department is still pursuing charges against the 35-year-old woman. NGAN is also calling for the full public release of all body-camera and dash-camera footage.
Family members have spoken publicly about the incident. One of them, Amaiyah Allen-Smith, said they were at the pool listening to music when an older couple contacted a pool attendant and then called police.
The department’s internal investigation is now closed, but the criminal investigation remains open. In a statement, Royse City Police said it will not condone misconduct by any member of the department and will take appropriate action when it occurs.
A viral video of officers using force on a family at a public pool has now led to one officer losing his job, while questions about the rest of the encounter continue.

The real story is most likely " police where call after a bunch of freeloading chimps trespassed at private pool and wouldn't leave." Cop should've punted the little neega for good measure.

The policeman could have taught a lesson to aggressive black males, instead of attacking screechers, but no fathers were present..

They got in the way of the officers, trying to disrupt them and stop them from doing their duty.

His firing is nothing more than caving in to the black demands that they be treated differently.
