Eric Casebolt, the police officer seen throwing a teenage black girl to the ground in a police crack down on a pool party in McKinney, Texas, has reportedly resigned, Raw Story reported Tuesday. The resignation comes after community leaders over the weekend called for his removal from the force when a video showing him violently throwing a teenager to the ground surfaced online. The violence has sparked media coverage that connects the behavior of the officer to a national discussion on police violence in America.
