I couldn't possibly disagree more. If the young "entitled" undisciplined African savage had not resisted the authority of civilized behavior, her desk would not have been upset. She herself precipitated the escalation.
Seriously, a verbal refusal warrants police intervention at a school?
This forum has gone to the dogs.
I have seen several videos, the only thing physical I saw was after the officer started to flip her over in her desk - not a chair, a desk! She appeared to start flailing If you want to make a stretch you could call it punching I guess. He could have broken her neck, or caused a concussion - all because of a verbal refusal.
The officer had many more options at his disposal other than over the top physical force against a girl. Fer chrissakes, a grown man treating an adolescent girl like that for a school infraction that was an administrative issue (essentially insubordination). The officer could’ve dragged her while in her desk out into the hall without flipping her over backwards, he could’ve tasered her, pepper sprayed her, called for another officer to help restrain her in a much less violent manner, all sorts of things other than what he did.
In most of these cases that stirred up the BLM movement I saw them for the BS that they were (most notably Michael Brown and perhaps even Freddie Gray). This is just outright overreaction writ large.
