Texas pool party officer steps down

A US police officer has resigned just days after a video appeared showing him pinning down a 15-year-old black girl and pointing his gun at teenagers at a pool party in McKinney, Texas.

Cpl Eric Casebolt, who is white, was seen pinning down a 15-year-old girl and drawing his gun during a disturbance at the party.

Hundreds of people earlier marched through the area demanding the dismissal of the 41-year-old officer.
