Is this really your opinion? I'm talking human to human here. A teenage girl is being stubborn (not violent) and you are okay with an adult male flipping her over a desk and dragging her around the room? Surely you feel something when you watch that other than camaraderie with man tossing around a non-violent young girl.
My opinion is that this whole incident would not have occurred if she would have listened to every adult that instructed her to put the phone away, and to leave the classroom.
How many more people were needed to get her to pay attention and take reasonable directions from adults?
1) Teacher says put phone away. Student ignores
2) Teacher tells leave room. Student ignores
3) administrator comes in tells girl to leave room. Student ignores
4) cop comes and tells student to leave. Student ignores.
--- How much more talking needs to happen?
From watching the video many times IMHO its not excessive force. Once you get to a point where you have to physically remove a person, it can take a great deal of force to remove them when they resit. And she did, she held on to the desk which caused it to flip over, and was still holding on when he pulled her a second time, her releasing of the desk then caused look like she was getting thrown around.
The moment it was decided that force was going, the outcome is excatly just like I expected it to turn out. Its a liberal fantasy that it would turn out differently. If you belive this was too much force, you must also believe that chicken really just comes in a nice package you get at the store, and not that it was some live animal that was killed for you to eat.
Force is force, can it be excessive? sure, in this case, it looked to me like the right amount to get the girl out of her seat.
What I feel, is that once again liberals are taking the side of the trouble maker and pissing on cops. They might as well be chanting 'pigs in a blanket, fry'em like bacon' along with the black lives matter movement.
