This whole thread is so silly.
This was still a juvenile, they make stupid choices. When cops are called they are not authorized to administer punishment. This cop punished the abhorrent behavior of this unruly, disruptive child. Did the child deserve it? I don’t know but it doesn’t matter it isn’t a cops job to administer punishment. Cops know how to deal with uncooperative people without punishment. He could have cuffed her behind her back and pulled up on the cuffs and she would have come right up to avoid the pain but the cop had his feelings hurt and had to show power and get revenge. The revenge might have been deserved but it is not his/her job to give revenge, just take the child away.
If the child had broken something when hitting the ground the school and the police force would be paying the girl to never have to work. Revenge by cop is stupid, they just need to do the job they are paid for and leave their “hurt” at home.
As someone who has trained police, including special weapons and tactics, I can tell that you have ZERO experience with attempting to handcuff someone who refuses to cooperate.
You ASSUME that the officer could have handcuffed her while she is sitting at the desk. First, that is very dangerous both to the individual and to the officer. The established safest procedure is to get the uncooperative person on the ground and apply the restraints then.
You ASSUME that the girl will comply due to the pain of having her arms forced up into the classic torture position. I can tell you that I have seen people who let their arms be broken before compliance. Her willful and intentional failure to resist arrest created a dangerous situation for all.
You ASSUME that the officer had his feelings hurt and that he wanted revenge. The truth is, he did NOT administer any punishment. He only removed her, put her to the ground, restrained her and removed her. No injuries were reported by the girl. Keep that in mind when you make your judgements ... the girl did not suffer a broken arm, sprains to her wrists, cuts or any of a host of other possible injuries the officer might have caused had he decided to take revenge.
Had the girl been injured (while resisting arrest) she like the thousands of others who choose to resist arrest, will likely never see a dime, will likely go to jail for her illegal acts, and will face the consequences of thousands in legal bills.
NO ONE has the right to resist lawful arrest!
