Looks like he grabbed her by the leg to lift or pull her and when he lifted her the desk went with her. It doesn't look like he started off trying to flip the desk over.

 

Did he just walk in and start this or didn't he actually try telling her to get up first? Video that I saw starts right at the action of him grabbing her, is there video showing he didn't try any other way first?

 

I think he may have got carried away, but I also think the desk flipping backwards makes it look worse than it may have actually been. As stated earlier use of force doesn't always equal abuse or assault.

 

That said if my daughter refused to put her phone up and refused to do what a teacher said and the SRO had to be called in...getting thrown on the floor and getting handcuffed would be the least of her problems.

Speculation on my part but I feel like he could have dragged her and the desk out in the hallway if needed. They say there is a video of him benching 600 pounds. I think he could have figured out a way to use his strength constructively.

 

PP, since we are speculating, let's speculate there was a previous video or he witnessed prior actions where she took a cheap shot at a SRO or another authority after being told several times to leave the room?

and a bit later in that same article

And in this case, Lavarello from the School Safety Advocacy Council doesn't think this school resource officer should have ever been involved in what "should have been left in the school discipline area." Once the officer was involved, he could have deployed "a lot of strategies" like having the other students leave the room first.

 

 

oh hey, my crazy liberal idea was proposed by the spokesperson for the School Safety Advocacy Council. Probably a bunch of liberals too lol.

 

Now THIS, my western KY friend, we can agree whole heartedly on.:lol2:

So you're suggesting she was violent and no one did anything about immediately?

Maybe a scary physiological approach?

 

Officer:

"For the 3rd time young lady, get your stuff and follow me to the front office"

 

Girl:

"No, don't have to"!

 

Officer:

"Ok kids, everybody out of their seats and against the far wall. I don't want any of you getting blood on your clothes".

 

Maybe that would have motivated her a little?:idunno:

^^^Said tongue in cheek of course.:lol2:

I'm 'speculating' she may have had a past history of not cooperating with authority.

You know who does have a past history of using excessive force? The officer. Multiple accusations actually.

That wouldn't excuse yesterday's incident for me.

 

What about his past history of being abusive towards students? Does that not factor into anything? Many students claim this isn't his first time being excessive.

Alleged history of being abusive...right?

It's not just against students...

I have more of an issue with him picking her up and throwing her across the floor after he knocked her over in her chair. If he had simply tried to pull her from the desk and she turned over I don't think it would have been as big of a deal. However, once she turned over he picked her up and threw her across the floor. To me that is where it changes from simply trying to remove her from the room and into trying to inflict punishment and goes too far.

TAC is speculating that she has a prior history of being violent and disrespectful. I'm speculating right back.

It only seems to matter when the cop has a history (tensing)

Does not matter when the perp has a history ( debouis)

For the love of God parents, teach your kids to respect authority. It's a shame there is a self created environment that people are so paranoid.

 

For what it's worth. This case does not shine favorably for the SRO of all of the cops versus perps (not victims) cases debated on here. Not sure he was right but once again a little cooperation and we are bored to death.

Peace out!
