Parents Attack Police During Wild Fight at NC High School Basketball Game

A brawl broke out at a Charlotte, NC high school basketball game on Friday after a father attacked a police officer who approached his daughter to tell her to return to her school’s side of the gym. After the father reportedly confronted the officer, the man, his wife, and daughter all started physically fighting with the officer and others who stepped in:
WCNC reports the father regrets the incident:
A man arrested at a CMS basketball game Friday night tells NewsChannel 36 he regrets what happened.
Ernest Owens said he was just trying to check on his daughter after he saw school resource officers approaching her.
The brawl happened at East Mecklenburg High School during the boys basketball game versus Butler High School. Owens‘ daughter plays for Butler’s girls basketball team, which had just wrapped up its game.
The video shows Owens’ wife jumping in, along with their daughter, and hitting the officer in the head.
NewsChannel 36 has been told the argument started when the resource officer asked Owens’ daughter to move from the East Meck side of the gym back to the Butler side.
It’s a common practice that students from different schools sit separately at high school games.
Owens said his daughter moved from East Mecklenburg to Butler High School this year, and there has been some tension between her and staff at her old school.
The father was arrested on multiple charges, and WCNC says more arrests are possible. No one was seriously injured and the school has not decided what action to take with the student.

When I returned to my hometown in the country many of my friends would tell me I was a hater or a racist. I can remember saying, “Work a midnight shift in any convenience store in the city for 2 months then come and talk to me. Well unfortunately the ghetto culture is reaching even the small towns and now days it appears “cool” to be a “thug” It’s really not about race but its about culture, the entitlement society, and lack of personal accountability. A sad reality is that with the war on poverty and integration of our schools have not helped the poor and the minorities as much as it has lowered the standards and behavior of the middle class. I know I will get heat for this opinion and I have no problems with that. More of us need to say what we mean and mean what we say.

Posted on January 31, 2011 at 9:34amI’m not a racist. This was civil disobedience and assault by a black family. The same situation in another story recently at a Waffle House, all the participants were black. Though that situation was not caused by a family acting poorly, it was people acting poorly. It is what it is and do not let the facts get in the way of your argument.
There is no “authority” in my freedom. I am not under the thumb of an “authority”. And so long as I am lawful, no “authority” has any business interfering with my freedom. Our freedoms are not predicated on some “authority” granting us them. We are guaranteed our freedom through The Bill Of Rights and the “authority” is constrained by The Constitution.
Stick your head back in the sand. The adults are talking here. Nothing racist about this, the video shows the facts. Not saying that the same BS is not happening with white perpetrators. The substandard education, moral decay, and outright stupidity with the public at large is/are colorblind. The entitlement and redistributionist elements of society are destroying what once was a great country.

Posted on January 31, 2011 at 11:56amI agree and disagree with MrLogan. I would say the overwhelming majority of the black population do not have political understanding or knowledge. They vote almost exclusively for either a democrat candidate, or more importantly, a black candidate. In my hometown in NC, there is a “black caucus” which solely supports black candidates running for office regardless if a white person is running on the democratic ticket. The black voters will meet at their church and the church will drive them to the polls in buses and vans, hand them a piece of paper with all the black candidates names, and tell them who to vote for.
Look at our prison systems in America. Even though about 20% of America is black, well over half of all inmates are black. Can’t fight the facts.

This table (http://www2.fbi.gov/ucr/cius2009/data/table_49.html) indicates that white people account for the majority of arrests for all crimes except robbery and gambling. But at 35.4%, blacks represent the highest percentage of the incarcerated population. It doesn’t really make sense if you think about it.

Posted on January 31, 2011 at 12:53pmNo of course not. And if there was video of a couple of black kids inviting an old friend over and then beating the tar out of them – it wouldn’t draw a comment from me at all. It’s the systematic crumbling of social norms that alarms me. Drunk people and former friends have always fought and I don’t care what the skin color. It‘s indicative of the culture and the area they live in not the fact that they’re black – but to deny that it‘s largely in black communities were ignorance isn’t chastised but glorified is again an error.

Posted on January 31, 2011 at 1:46pm@ MrLogan – I’ll agree with others that the stats you provided are extremely skewed. When I looked at those figures, I first noticed how there is no per capita stats, which is crucial in your arguement. In 2010, black population was 12% in the US – whites were 64%. Leaving out the lack of hispanic statistics, we’ll just assume white is only whites, no other ethnicities included. If violent crime were equal across racial lines, black numbers would be only 1/5th of white numbers, and it’s clearly not the case.
Report Post »conservativeheeler
Posted on January 31, 2011 at 3:00pm@MRLOGAN…I think the more important statistic to concentrate on when looking at the chart you posted is the percentage of crimes that blacks committed. Logically there would be more whites arrested because America’s population, according to the 2010 census is 74.8% white and 12.4% black. Now look at your table about crime rates. The 12.4% black population accounts for 54.5% of murders, 55.8% of robberies, 41.6% of violent crimes, and 43.8% of illegal weapons possessions. These crimes, which should carry longer and more severe sentences, would account for the 35.4% of black inmates, because they commit these crimes at a much higher rate than any other ethnic group.

Why did the officer ask the teen to move if her game was over and she wanted to sit with friends that she probably knew from when she attended that school? How did the officer address the father of this child when he approached which he had every right to do? How did the father address the officer? Is this the fruit of a larger issue; if so what? Had this student and this security guard have any issues during the normal school day?
There is a lot that we do not know about this back story and this article for whatever reason chooses to leave it there.
Now I am not trying to defend them because we are black, I simply have trained eye and a keen understanding what needs to be done when you are trying to convey a message.

Posted on January 31, 2011 at 9:58amNo, two very different issues.
1. This is what happens when enough people get video-capable phone and the rest of civilized society sees how these people act. Through Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and Malik Shabazz they demand to be treated the same as whitey, but they refuse to act in a civilized way.
2. Cops have created the bad stereotype that they now feel victims of. They make a habit of abusing citgizens’ rights, then wonder why they’re not respected as a group.
Both groups are examples of getting the respect you deserve, not what you demand to get.

The policies they are implemnting without DUE PROCESS: Voting, reading the bills, writing the bills its CRIMINALWHAT THE FED GOVERNMENT IS DOING to us, WE THE PEOPLE!! The Local/state Governors have to start taking leadership seriously!! They need to bypass the Circus in DC and start a new wave of saving America without DC!!
The DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE specifically states its OUR DUTY to abollish and dissolve an abusive and destructive Government that rules without the consent of the people— we are at that point!!!

Posted on January 31, 2011 at 10:15amThe parents need to have a fair dose of reality and discipline for themselves; and for any children they are raising as well. This is once again another example of the progressives means of destruction of the American values that have been part of the country since the founding.
It is ultimately a game, and to lose control this way is degrading to everyone across the board.

Posted on January 31, 2011 at 12:34pmWhat do you expect……professional sports sets the tone. Like it or not,,the professional sports teams, actors, singers, etc., are role models in our society. When children and adults see that violence on the professional sporting events, famouos actor/actresses, singers, etc., fighting, abusing alchohol, using drugs,,,,,well, it’s inevitable that that mentality will flow into our population.
When there is so little respect in the communities that citizens fight with cops in front of crowds, we have a major social breakdown.

Posted on January 31, 2011 at 1:16pmObviously, I have observed a trend not many others have not. People, it’s not a black thing,,,it’s not a hispanic thing, it’s a ghetto thing. Ghetto being defined as a lower income, less apt to be college educated, urban blight thing. Here’s the kicker,,,,ghetto’s are now a huge collection of neighborhoods throughout the United States – and is everincreasing at an accelarated rate. The worse the economy gets, the faster the middle class falls into low income and the angrier people get. I’ve seen people of ALL nationalities acting out with evil tendancies at an increasing rate. Stop labeling ghetto attitude with black and take the blinders off.

Recently on this site there was the Wendy’s beating, the Ihop fight, and now a high school. Enough is enough. Sure every race has it’s issues, but let’s see the proof in the video.

Posted on January 31, 2011 at 2:42pmThis fight was over a police officer asking someone to move from where they were seated and then this person’s mother and father (great influences and kuddos on your child rearing) decided to get into a fist fight over it? Are you kidding me? I guess they felt “Dissed” and had to resort to violence instead of being human and just moving. The officer was trying to keep the peace by moving them to the side of the gym where their team’s fan were. People like this deserve to be tased multiple times for their own good and to made an example to others.
@GODLOVINMOM Your statement, “better neighborhoods and money make you act like responsible humanbeings…think not…” doesn’t seem to follow the data that show that police are more frequently (by a large number) called to go to bad neighborhoods with less money. Think what you want, but remember the guy in this video thought it wise to fight a cop over being asked to move. Answer- you both are wrong!

Posted on January 31, 2011 at 3:01pmLet’s read between the lines here. The daughter got kicked out of Butler school and that is why she is at the other school. Let me guess….she had behavioral problems at Butler school. Gosh not to hard to figure out where her behavior problems stem from. I am so sick and tired of these parents who complain that there child is being mistreated at a school and some how it is the school’s fault. If parents of underachieving children would get off their asses and start teaching their children how to conduct themselves in society and help them do their homework, we wouldn’t have this problem, but when you have a loser dad and mom this is what results from it.

I do agree that people need to control themselves, set proper examples for their children,,,but that is not happening. More and more examples of barbaric attitudes are occurring in public and I strongly believe, as a result, that our society is truely crumbling.
I don’t know what the statistics are regarding crimes committed by blacks, whites, hispanics, asians, etc., but my point was that the term ghetto, IN MY OPINION, is not exclusive to blacks. Ghetto, aka barrio, slums, low income, etc. And yes, I agree that not all people who reside in low income areas (which I said was at an ‘everincreasing rate’ and seems to escalating rapidly) are criminals,,,,most are decent people who live in these areas. Just that things keep getting worse in the economy and people are getting angry about it.
