re: School Resource Officer "Body Slams" Student Sitting in Desk

I am 50 plus and feel threatened by you. Can you please post a picture of your hands?

Had this phone twit checked the deputy's hands, all of this could have been avoided. She would have known it was time to get to steppin'.

I know I am not butthurt over fricking around with you turds on here. We've been doing this for years.

Damn Carolina lady.. you can't just bust in and start calling people names. Even if they're not on my side of the argument here, I won't allow it!

I am rarely serious but just reply with the same tone as who I respond to. Bmy probably hates me thiugh

Found a great post on the whole issue with regards to the cop. I personally think the teacher was more to blame if the student was simply just surfing the Internet on her phone (not confirmed)

I believe there have been one or two other videos released as well showing her strike the officer at least once. Does that warrant the rest of the interaction by the officer, no probably not, although without seeing the entire interaction from the very start of the officer's involvement - I believe that point is debatable.

I would then like to propose a situation...the "unruly student". Maybe it is just rhetorical food for thought, but anyways...

If you are tasked with "keeping the peace" in a setting like this, and you are called over to "Room 201" for an unruly student disrupting class...what do you do when you arrive? The teacher/ administrator wants them removed from class because of their behavior and has surpassed what the school faculty is allowed to or willing to handle...
-Ask them to leave the class with you? Probably safe to assume that is a reasonable action.

-The student then either tells you to kick rocks, or just doesn't react. What now? Escalate: command to leave classroom. ...probably still safe to assume this is reasonable as well.

-The student again tells you to frick off (verbal noncompliance), or just doesn't do anything (passive resistance). What now? Would you be doing your job, the reason you were hired, by just throwing your hands up, saying "Well, ya got me there!" And walking away? Should you just continue issuing commands/requests with no intention to enforce them? Remember, there is in fact a law being broken, that of Disturbing Schools. If that student is 17 or older, an arrest can and should be made at this point - the time for an alternative resolution passed when the student refused to cooperate.

-You then escalate again, using physical control techniques, i.e. physically escorting the subject from the classroom. This is usually around the time that cameras come out, by the way, and also when the fight begins.

-What do you do when the student begins actively resisting, and maybe even attempting or actually striking you?

Regardless, if you use any physical force...you very well may end up on the Internet, or on the news. You followed your department policy, and your state's law....yet the rest of the populace will spend the next few weeks armchair quarterbacking and talking about how it "should have" happened, police brutality, rabble rabble rabble....
I'm glad it's not me though...phew!

It's news to me that this officer was fired. Was he terminated, or suspended, maybe placed on administrative leave pending an investigation?

---

Internal investigation determined he failed to follow protocol and used excessive force. The problem with this thread is that people are polarized on this issue and fail to see that both parties, the girl and the cop, were counts and douche bags respectively. It's pretty simple.

What if she had exploded in mid-air, churning out a cloud of helium and they all inhaled it and spoken funny?

Your turn.

this is definitely the stupidest response i've ever read on the internet.

OT finding anyway to defend the police. Color me shocked

Shrubber,
Here is the article I read. It says he is currently on unpaid leave.
There are also several videos in this article. One of which, I haven't watched yet.
Like I said earlier, I am sure the Sheriff is saying and doing what he feels pressured to do.

He was fired this evening.

Is Lt. Tiller still employed? The guy that murdered the kid for trying to run him over despite the fact he wasn't in front of the car.

Wtf are you you talking about?

1)I Said handle this after class when she doesn't comply

2) They shall know she is suspended when the school notifies the parents / she isn't allowed on the bus etc.... by mail phone or however the hell they notify parents of suspensions.



And what's with the snide remarks.

If the parents can afford to buy the child a smart phone I'm sure they can be contacted as well.

But shes Black & you make some silly presumptions about her parents / finances.



I'm sorry if you feel that if little girls don't comply that it's okay to get physical with them.

Good lesson to teach the other kids on how to handle unruly women.
