The Fox & Friends troika sounded a tad suspicious Wednesday morning about the resignation of McKinney police officer Eric Casebolt, wondering if he had been “pressured” to resign, and whether his chief had properly backed him up.
Casebolt was caught on a cell phone video manhandling a teenager and drawing his weapon against unarmed bystanders after a call about a disturbance at a pool party. He resigned Tuesday evening, and was castigated by McKinney police chief Greg Conley for being “clearly out of control” — something co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck said constituted “throwing him under the bus.”
Conley’s comments undercut other Fox segments, including one from last night in which Sean Hannity said the teenagers might have been “provoking” Casebolt.
F&F wasnt even entirely sure Casebolt was in the wrong, simply noting that “some say” he had “overreacted.”
