He could have picked her up and carried her out of the classroom. It's obvious he had the strength to physically restrain her.

 

There is a video showing him benching a reported 600 pounds.

Was the student injured?

 

No...just in case that wasn't rhetorical.

Many of these issues go away if parents teach children to ALWAYS follow the direction of law enforcement officers. If you're wronged' date=' argue that with someone who cares, NOT the guy with the Glock.[/quote']

 

True but immaterial.

It goes back to my point above. Some people are questioning why the SRO was involved at all. Well it's people with the mind sent of @Mayfield , who have put handcuffs on teachers having any sort of discipline power and fear of a lawsuit. So now instead teachers turn to the SRO who still has that power.

 

If we take the handcuffs off the teachers we can allow the SRO to do their real job.

 

I think you mean "mindset" not "mind sent." I am proud of my mindset in that I don't blindly advocate using physical force against children. Your attempt to ridicule me only makes me prouder.

 

You also seem to indicate that my mindset has put "handcuffs" on teachers. It's true, I did that a couple times back before I was married, and it was fun. At no point in this did I say that the girl was right, or should not be punished.

 

There is a wide variety of options in between condoning the girls' behavior and using violence. That you can't see that has nothing to do with my "mind sent" and everything to do with yours. Take care.

He handled her physically with ease. If she's throwing punches, kicking him, spitting on him or is some kind of a physical threat then by all means do what you gotta do, officer. It blows my mind so many are accepting of his behavior of physically assaulting a teenage girl because she wouldn't follow directions.

 

That's just weird to me.

 

 

If that's acceptable then it makes me think that domestic abuse is acceptable to a lot of these people as well. This is a grown man, grown man, picking up a teenage girl, slamming her to the ground and then tossing her across the classroom. But she wouldn't listen so that's what she gets. Bet she'll listen next time. That's what physically abusive husbands say.

No but apparently she could have gotten a concussion or been paralyzed......

I'll leave with this. That girl needed up out of that classroom and that seat. While it should have been handled differently, the result was her up out of that classroom and out of that seat. I wish he'd have taken child/desk and all out of the room then I think the result might have been easier to obtain. If that means I agree with spouse abuse, well that's a stretch that I can't understand.

I agree PP92! But not unexpected.

 

The deputies own boss, the sheriff, had said that he fines the video disturbing. Yet some on here still see no issue in the violent way that he threw her to the ground? If I recall there were also people attempting to blame the victim who was killed by the UC officer especially before that video came out too. Some simply want to blame the victim no matter what the assailants bosses say.

 

The Feds have been asked to come in and investigate as well.

 

And we have this here:

I've read most of the responses, I don't recall anyone really condoning his actions. But I may have missed a couple responses.

 

Even if he "gently" strong arms her out of the chair and on to the floor, some people would still have a problem with it.

 

He had to physically remove her from the classroom in some way. He couldn't leave her there.

You don't know her parents. So you come up with your 50/50 observation based on what? This one incident involving her? Show me a teenager with perfect behavior. You really have no basis for judging what her parents might have done had they been called. And even if you did, what does it cost to make that effort before we allow are children to be slammed to the ground and then thrown across the floor? Even if her parents are no help at all, at the very least it teaches the rest of the kids that efforts are made.

 

I agree the officer was a little over the top flipping her out of the chair. However, why do teachers or authority figures need to prove to students that they are making efforts?? The kids need to learn to respect authority when they are told to do something. Babying them and patting them on the back a thousand times is not going to get the point across, all that will do is teach them to stay stubborn and insubordinate until they get they want.

So here is another question. Why are the Feds investigating it?

 

Is it because he is white and she is black?

Probably because everyone involved now has a lawyer and the sheriff's department is caught between supporting and condemning the officer.

Agreed, it's just the violent way that he did it that has many people upset.

 

When the boss of an LEO says that a video containing the LEO's action is disturbing, that should open some eyes, as the boss usually defends the LEO.

That is a broad comparison, saying a student disobeying an officer of the law is the same as a husband and wife not agreeing with each other.

I agree, it should have been less violent.

 

Do you think he has any regrets using that specific word? (disturbing)
