Outrage after South Carolina officer throws, arrests student in classroom

(CNN)The video shows a South Carolina school resource officer standing over a student, seated at her desk. He puts his arm near her neck, then yanks her backward. The desk tips over and the student crashes onto the floor.

The uniformed officer doesn't let go, sharply tugging the student toward the front of the classroom. She flies out of her desk and slides several feet across the floor.

"Give me your hands," the officer says.

His is the only voice heard. Other students sit calmly and quietly, one of them covering his face with his hand.

Yet many haven't been so quiet since the footage out of Columbia, South Carolina, surfaced.

Some have defended the officer, many pointing out that the video isn't complete. It doesn't show what happened before, including what the student did and how many times authorities -- a teacher, a school administrator and finally the officer, Richland County Sheriff's Deputy Ben Fields -- had asked her to get up.

Hillary beat Obama to it:

Hillary Clinton says there is ‘no excuse’ for violent school arrest

Hillary Clinton responded to the violent arrest of a South Carolina high school student on Tuesday, arguing that there is “no excuse for violence inside a school.”

“There is no excuse for violence inside a school,” Clinton tweeted. “The #AssaultAtSpringValleyHigh is unacceptable — schools should be safe places. -H”

Why mess with the cops?

Just make up a rule...no respect to the teacher and the principal after they tell you do something...you get five days of suspension. Rack up ten in one school year, and you don’t pass, and repeat the entire school year. I’m pretty sure that the parents will get peppy, but make it a school policy and let them take the kid elsewhere.

“Cops are supposed to help, not hurt, people”

CNN says no one was hurt. Why would an officer do what he did in front of a bunch of students and a teacher if there weren’t justification.

LOL, if he was the one fronting that stuff, fine by me.

It was probably some fly by night dude on the internet, but it could have been one of her professors too.

I’d love to see Johnny Law swoop down on one of those dudes and make them pay.

RE:”OT, but anyone else getting a “Reported Attack Page” from Firefox when clicking on the other thread on this? It’s happening on several threads here.”

Rumor has it that it is because Carson pulled ahead of Trump and the Chumps are on the warpath over it, “please lock your wallet up while you are on the internet”.

And set your browser to safe mode.

Mad chumps are dangerous.

Or Don may be hiring those no-good chi-coms to hack here,

Justified. And I have to point out. When I was in grade school TEACHERS would do similar things for chronic disrupters. Falling asleep would usually get you a smack upside the head.

Good ole. K.C. Unified.

It's when they tell the truth that bothers me.

I think he wento a little overboard, but when the nice officer is called to take you out of the classroom, you should go with him.

I was at my daughters school for a meeting yesterday. There was some sort of incident and they told everyone to leave the hallways.

This one STUPID ASS BLACK KID was walking slowly down the hall, the teachers told him “Come On- lets go” and he actually SLOWED DOWN taking quarter-steps shuffling his way taking like 20 seconds to go 10 feet...

I turned away and told one of the teachers I could never work there - he would have gotten a boot in the ass from me for that...

Yes, if that had been the South Carolina school cop making that stop, I'm sure that girl would now have pavement burns on her face.
