The police officer who was videotaped slamming a teenage girl to the ground and raising his gun towards others during a fight at a Texas pool has resigned. 

Cpl. Eric Casebolt’s resignation comes a day after hundreds of protesters marched near the pool in McKinney where the incident took place last weekend. 

The video has prompted a national outcry after there were allegations that race played a factor, but the McKinney Police Department has denied the incident was racially motivated. 

The officer was put on administrative leave this past weekend.
