South Carolina authorities will announce Wednesday that Richland County Senior Deputy Ben Fields, the school resource officer who was caught on camera violently flipping a high school student in her classroom, will be relieved of duty, sources told NBC News.

Your suggestion then?

[The Toll]

He was doing so when she punched him in the face.

[Fundamentally Fair]

Recruitment problems?

Nah. There’s always plenty of former hall monitors with tactical gear fetishes.

I will try with another search engine thanks.

Unfortunately, we'll all have to deal with the society your kind of thinking produces.

There's an uproar on the left about content and consequence of 'contact' with the police...police brutality, my good boy didn't need to die, they didn't need to taze him, arrest him, twist his arm, etc.

I truly do not care. It sounds like nothing so much as trying to negotiate workplace rules...and that kind of thinking is the problem.

This young angel is not a victim of police brutality. She's a victim of liberal thinking and policies. She was not born with an entitlement to be handled and coddled by the rest of the world.

All of us (who do not require the police to be called for simple requests) have our lives to live. She has already wasted too much of it. She's not a victim.

The officer did no such thing but truth isn't part of the narrative. I read an AP article that accused him of using a chokehold. The hysteria is out of control as was the girl.

It’s on Louder with Crowder’s homepage on the left. That may work better than a link. :-)

[gogeo]

EXACTLY.

Dindu nuffins will not be told no. Lawsuits will happen and people will be reprimanded/fired. The rest is just details.

[gogeo]

Engage in wishful thinking if you will...but once she was engaged it would have been an issue. The rest is just details.

I agree. it is all part of the plan. The government is trying to take the kids away from the parents. What better way to do that? First you have Children's Social Service called on the parent if they do try to discipline a child. Then force the majority of parents to have to rely on government schools, then use the force of law to brutalize the worst behaving students thereby intimidating the more well behaved kids, so they will learn to be good little automatons and do exactly as big brother tells them. It takes a village, was a threat.

[Calpublican]

We will not agree on this. Teenagers are sent, under the authority of their parents, to a school where they are to be
under the authority of school leaders. This authority stands unless there is some extraordinary circumstance where authority figures request illegal activity.

This student was asked to conform to standard rules of school conduct. This is appropriate and is not grounds for civil disobedience.

Knocking her to the ground I can understand. I’m just unsure about the tossing across the floor afterward. I do think the firing is absolutely premature though.

[Georgia Girl 2]

“Now the canonization of the student can proceed.”

I agree but maybe not for the reasons you would think.

Now that the ire of the public is on the cop the student will not receive the discipline she would have gotten if the cop had simply waited outside the door of the classroom and snagged her in the hall during class change. Then she could have been taken to the principal’s office and received the counseling and discipline she so sorely needs.

Instead her street cred with all her classmates has been reinforced and she will feel empowered to continue to flaunt authority. Not a good ending for her or the cop.

[T-Bone Texan]

OH PUHLEAZE.

You are asking that the entire class to stop working, exit the classroom, and lose that class day to appease a single feral student.

Can you imagine what would happen if your policy was applied to all of ghetto America?

Let’s be extremely frank: Those people must be made to fear the white man. It is the only way to force them to adopt and maintain the norms of mainstream society. By allowing them to go off the reservation and live according to their desires we have allowed a feral, violent subculture to spring up among us.

"The officer did no such thing but truth isn't part of the narrative."

You are referring to me writing that: "He flipped her backwards, chair and all, onto the floor and then threw her." That is exactly what I saw, I guess you are saying that you saw something different.

[Stingray51]

Good grief, I did not say she was a victim, justify her actions, call her an angel or do any such thing. I only said that in my opinion the officer used excessive force.

[the_individual2014]

I graduated in 2004 and can remember out of control kids that got manhandled in my class.

To be honest I will not try to play armchair general here for I still need to see the other video as well as other details but I will say this, none of this $hit would be happening in schools today if we would have gotten rid of no child left behind and would send POS kids to alternative schools or expel them, do that Joe Clark did in Lean on Me.

[cuban leaf]

It turns out this cop probably did nothing wrong. More videos show more of what was really happening. That, coupled with the back story gives one the impression that this cop was just takin’ out the trash. Not a firing offense.

[JLS]

My theory is anyone, youth or not, should have to break the law before having government force used on them. Then again I am a small government guy sort of like in those guys Jefferson, Madison etc. Apparently you disagree with us?

[DJ MacWoW]

Didn't go to the link, did you. Some are comfortable with the MSM victim agenda. Some of us aren't.

You have a lovely day.
