I have to wonder why this officer was called in the first place. Apparently the girl committed no actual crime other than being a brat. Seems to me the teacher and principal should have handled it. If the girl was not committing a crime he should have kept his hands to himself. IMO.

"If the girl was not committing a crime he should have kept his hands to himself. IMO."

The girl was told to leave the class. Refusing to do so was an act of criminal trespass.

The administration should have had a BLACK officer in the school to deal with this brat. Had the officer been black, there would have been no issue. The officer was fired for DOING HIS JOB WHILE being WHITE.

Apparently, she was told repeatedly to get up and leave and go to the office or whatever. After she apparently disrupted class and or violated some school policy.

Do the other students in the classroom not have the expectation of a calm classroom?

The girl openly and brazenly broke school policy. The teacher and the principal did try to handle it. The student rebelled; that is why the officer was called. She struck at the officer; that is why he reacted the way he did.

If the officer is fired, that school will have just lost its authority to conduct school. The teachers will no longer be able to enforce any discipline.

I want to know more facts. I also want to know exactly what school officials are supposed to do with an insolent student who refuses to comply with orders.

Nowadays these kids know that nobody can touch them. This incident proves it as we see the cop is the one being disciplined.

“Seems to me the teacher and principal should have handled it.”

How? Nobody is addressing what should have been done. She knew that a passive-aggressive act could not be stopped because school personnel were forbidden from putting hands on her - so, disruption continued as she simply refused to comply. Staff likely felt they had to call in the cop because he was the only one “authorized” to manhandle a disruptive individual - and now he’s fired for doing so (overdoing, yes, but YOU try getting an non-compliant disruptive individual out of something as awkward as a school desk _without_ rough handling).

Okay...how?

Except there is now another video on this incident:
“There’s a video … showed her striking and punching at the officer,” Richard County Sheriff Leon Lott told CNN. ”Again, our hope would have been that he could have de-escalated the situation without getting physical.”

Because the teacher can't do the job, apparently.
