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

quote:

---

The girl that the cop physically removed from her desk hit the officer before he took the action that he did.

I haven't seen this discussed at all. As a matter of fact, the people I've seen defending her in this thread have stated that she should not have been removed because all she did was sit quietly and use her cell phone, not disrupting anything.

I would think if she was physical with the officer prior to the video, this would change their argument?

So the teacher lets one kid play on the phone and does nothing about it. What do you think is going to happen the next day? More kids playing one thier phones b/c they know the teacher isn't going to do anything

---

She could easily handle this through administrative channels. Have the girl suspended and if she shows up to campus they peacefully and legally remove her. If the process continues to repeat ultimately she will be expelled. They're fricking human beings you don't beat them into submission.

She did hit him first. That video is not a complete representation of the video that was taken. I fully agree that the officer went way too far with his actions and that he deserved to be fired.

She hit him first? After seeing this video it really is a damn shame she was not in a situation to legally be carrying a weapon. She could have lit his arse up and walked away a free woman.

Are you painting an entire group of people with a broad brush, based on your interaction with very few compared to the population?

---

No, actually. I am saying that most interactions I have involving witnessing people being rude to others/myself/etc. are people 50+. Not that all people 50+ are rude. These statements have different definitions. For some reason, you and Rag are really lost there.

If you click on any article about similar things like this story, you'll see tons of elderlies who found their way to social media saying, "IN MY DAY, we got the shite beat out of us because we deserved it if we disrespected others".. and yet I go out into the non-internet world and I see people lashing out on retail workers, airline workers, restaurant workers, people younger than themselves, people in occupations they deem lower than themselves, etc. And most often when I see this, it is not from the 21 year old college student. 50+ was just an arbitrary, and the age is probably a bit older now that I realize my Dad turns 50 next week and he is younger than the people I usually see doing this.

People of all ages are rude. There are bad apples in every bunch. The difference is this huge concentration of elder people bitching on the internet about "showing respect" when they themselves don't show it.

It's like they think the only respect that matters is child to adult, and that just isn't true.

She hit him. All the people in here saying she was not being violent look like complete morons. Will any of them admit they were wrong??? Hell no they won't take any accountability

I usually leave the supermarket wanting to murder people ~50+ in age. Why, you ask? Because they are hands down the rudest people alive. They bump into you and don't say excuse me, they grunt and stare at you like they're mentally handicapped when YOU say excuse me, they block aisles and then get angry when you try to politely move past them, they assume everyone is going to pick up after them so they leave food items all over the store and they leave their shopping carts in the middle of checkout aisles, they let their shopping carts roll all over the parking lot into other people's cars and think you're being disrespectful when you say 'DON'T WORRY; I'LL GET THAT" (because you're so pissed off that they think people are there to clean up their messes), etc.

The same people who get on these social media sites and bitch to all hell about "IN MY DAYYYYY (*old people accent*), people were respectful to authority!" when they themselves are not only disrespectful to children, but to other adults as well. Sorry, but I'm sick to death of hearing about how we need to beat the shite out of our kids to "teach them respect" when the same people claiming they "turned out fine" are actually the most disrespectful, rude people out there.

Don't believe me? Take a trip to the grocery store and 'accidentally' bump into a college aged girl. 9 times out of 10, you're going to get an apology from her. Now go bump into a 65 year old woman. You'll be lucky to get anything but a stare.

---

Here's your rant where you didn't paint people older than 50 with an extremely broad brush.

I'll even bold the important parts.

So a video that does not show someone hitting someone makes someone an idiot for not being psychic? Interesting.

Still. I know I could try to hit a man with all my might and he probably can stop/contain me pretty well without doing what the cop did. This 16 year old girl must be godzilla.

LL I swear whenever I take a peak at this thread is feel like I am taking crazy pills.

So you don't believe what you are doing is the same thing that you get furious about when guys do this to the female population? You see no similarity?

This is such a broad painting statement. Do you know how many people there are that are elder (50+, your definition), that you never come into contact with, and don't even use social media? Yet you make an accusation against them as a group.

Like guys do when they have bad experiences with girlfriends, and they say "Women are bitches". And you get furious.

One of the videos from inside the math classroom at Spring Valley High School shows the student resisting, according to Lott.

"She reached up and she popped the officer with her fist," he said.

---

I gave you the fricking video. I'll provide it again. If you think that counts as her hitting the officer "first" then you might legitimately be retarded. If anything she could have (legally speaking) used force to defend herself. The officer was breaking protocol as evidenced by him being fired -- he should be thankful she was a peaceful citizen and not armed and willing to protect herself. He could be dead because he threatened this poor girls life.
