I'm going to watch the video again, but on my initial viewing I did not see the bus driver pull the nitwit girl's hair or hit the girl, or anything other than to restrain her. She did take the girl's cell phone. What I did see was a hysterically out of control immature adolescent acting for all the world like one of the girls in the Salem witchcraft trials, pointing at thin air and shrieking that she was being pinched and slapped. The girl fabricated almost the entire scenario. Maybe she didn't know she was on video.

The ONLY thing I saw (from memory) that can go against the driver is confiscating the phone (which is my 5%), and that depends on school policy - where the school would possibly be liable depending on laws, statutes, etc. I don't know Arizona law at all. If the driver was charged, I'd love to be the defense attorney there. I didn't see any assault or battery, and the initial confrontation was clearly by the defendant.

I would NOT want to be the defense attorney for the bigmouth. I'm usually pro-defense, but not here.
