A show of support for the former McKinney police corporal seen in this now viral video.
And tonight, five days after Eric Casebolt slammed a teenage girl to the ground and pointed 1 his gun at other teens at a pool party, an apology on his behalf.
He never intended to mistreat anyone, but was only reacting to a situation and the challenges that it presented. He apologizes to all who were offended.
Casebolt resigned from the police department yesterday after being placed on administrative 2 leave. His actions in this suburb north of Dallas, the subject of intense criticism and ongoing 3 investigation 4 by the McKinney Police Department.

It's his hope that his resignation will facilitate the cooperative relationship between the citizens and the police officers of the city of McKinney. When the Craig Ranch 5 neighborhood incident came over the radio, Eric Casebolt was reluctant to respond to a simple trespassing 6 call.

Jane Bishkin, Casebolt's attorney, also giving some insight into her client's state of mind that day. She says before he responded to the pool party, Casebolt had responded to two suicide calls, one involving a man who had shot himself in the head.
