School cop throws high school girl to ground

[Homerboy]

Cop handled it horribly.

His reaction to a 130lb girl hitting him in the face (from a seated position mind you) is to basically body slam her in the chair and throw/drag her across the room? If that is his reaction to that "threatening" situation, then he is ill equipped for his position.

What is a cop suppose to do if he is requested to remove the individual from classroom and the individual refuse?

The liberals still haven't answered that question.


Their answer is to divert 'do something after school'.

Is there more to the interaction we aren't seeing? If so, where is it?

Are you implying that this entire event started and stopped within a 15 second interval? There is a hell of a lot more to this interaction that we aren't seeing. We've got the cherry-picked response that went viral as 'proof' of nothing.

He has ONE excessive force allegation, that was found no fault. 8 years ago. He is one of TEN other people in a "violation of free speech" lawsuit from 10 years ago. He also has received a commendation, but you neglected to report that didn't you. Doesn't fit your agenda. How does he have a "long list of brutality"? Please, do tell.

Actually there are a lot of former students who are saying that they saw him doing similar things to other students including "slamming a pregnant girl".

The pussy Law Enforcement Apologists in here are trying to claim the defensive throw of her arm while the thug was manhandling her out of the seat is her "assaulting" him.

Apologists just being the Apologists they are and they should have the beat down done to them that this 16 year old girl got. See if it changes their pussy tunes but I doubt even a beat done would put any sense into their dense skulls.

1. Your constant insults make you look silly.
2. Your wanting of a "beat down" for someone who disagrees with you is silly.
3. She was not given a "beat down". Perhaps you should research the term first before using it.

Actually there are a lot of former students who are saying that they saw him doing similar things to other students including "slamming a pregnant girl".

This comes out just now? Why is that do you suppose? The fact is, he has had just one physical allegation on him, 10 years ago during a domestic. Which he was found not at fault. He also has been praised by other students in the same school this happened, and helps coach the football team. Oh, and received a commendation for his work within the school. Yet these things which are facts, are never brought up. Just hearsay that has no evidence.

from one of the articles above...



so basically the students were LOOKING for trouble, and they got it.

(not saying what officer did was right either way)

I'm still flabbergasted that phones are allowed in classrooms. There is zero reason for that other than to eff off when you should be learning.

He tried to remove her from the desk, and tired to do so without harm by grabbing her upper body, and leg to free from under the desk.

She resisted which is what caused the desk to flip over, and when flipped over she tried to hit him, after attempting to assault him, and when she was on the ground he pulled her from the desk.

The people on the left here think the teacher, administrator, a cop, should have all pleaded with her for hours to get her to leave the desk.

And maybe if force was needed, they sound get some padded gloves, bubble wrap the kid, then cover them in oil, so they could gently be removed for the chair.

I'll definitely agree with you there. Blame the parents and administration on that one.

No, dumbass, the answer is to not get outsmarted on the job by a little girl.

Im not implying nothing happened before the video started. What I am saying is so what what about happened before the video started. The cop acted out of control, we got to see it, we got to judge his actions. Many of us including his boss deemed it inappropriate.

What do you believe happened before the video started to justify that reaction? Because the testimony all point to the kid not complying with orders but wasnt being violent.

You say that but what exactly is appropriate? Pound sand? Actually no need, we will have another soon enough and we can see. However I do wonder if this is staged by students over a dare...

A lot of us are asking why it even came to her needing to leave the desk at all? Deal with the issue after class. That is something you seem to never understand.

Which far right winged website or radio show has convinced you of this narrative she swung at the cop? TheBlaze? Foxnews, Breitbart? Rush Limbaugh, Hugh Hewitt, all of the above?

Given by all accounts she was texting on her phone and not being truly disruptive. I would deal with it after class. Detention, ISS, whatever is deemed appropriate. Calling in a cop over texting and escalating the situation is out of control. Administration shares plenty of blame in this as well. They should be on the chopping block for a horribly poor decision to bring a benign situation like this to a head.

This is irrelevant. When a person works a public-facing job, they are expected to understand that any and all aspects of their public interactions while on the job can be scrutinized.

Eh basically this guy has a history of acting like this and they knew the chance of it happening again was high. He was called by the students "Officer Slam" for a reason. And he delivered for the camera.

still doesn't change the fact that they were hoping for a reaction or something bad to happen, and it did. when you think negative vibes and want something bad to happen, chances of something negative/bad happening is higher.

Great to know? And how does this matter in this story?

me too. my first son was born in march and i've already told my wife that he will not be getting a cell phone until he is old enough to pay for it himself. and if he's responsible enough to work and pay for a phone, i'm planning on him being responsible enough to know where and when phones are to be used. in a classroom definitely isn't one of those places.

Maybe but it is also strange. It is not her first day in class and she has to know it is against school regulation. She choose that day to be in complete defiant against school authority. If the cop is to be fire, then she must also be expel and the teacher and the principle also be fire.

because they got the reaction they were looking for?

Why is it strange? Kids get in trouble every day for things they know from the first day of class. I am fine with disciplining the administration and child. My concern of course with the child is retaliation.

 

[Genx87]

Ok??

 

[OrByte]

Even the officers boss confirmed she hit him with punches. I don't think that would be disputed in a court of law even though in AT P&N some people here can't see it.

What I'd like to know is whether or not she will be charged with assault? Assaulting a peace officer or firefighter or any other public servant carries a hefty punishment in California.

And if the officer gets charged with criminal "assault and battery" he has every right to defend himself. It looks to me like she threw the first punch.

Note, he is being fired for excessive use of force for throwing her to the ground....nothing stated yet about assault and battery.


Edit: OH and I forgot...resisting arrest is also a separate crime here in California...but it could be different in SC

hmmmmmmm

 

[Thanatosis]

So he was fired, good on the PD for actually taking action to get rid of this clearly disturbed and violent criminal they accidentally hired. Hopefully he is prevented from getting any job involving contact with children in the future.


I would've liked to see him charged with child abuse, but this is a pretty good outcome considering how most cops can murder a person on video and not face charges or even be fired.


To all the brutality lovers in this thread: The cops own boss agrees that this is an absurd way to deal with a 80lb child who refuses to leave her desk. Why are you so intent on excusing this kind of violence? Is this how you treat your kids, or is it how you'd like to see black kids treated because you dislike the way they wear their pants or the music they listen too? I think it's the latter.

 

[purbeast0]

Ok??

Umad??

 

[Genx87]

Umad??

Im not mad. Just dont see the point of bringing up kids were potentially looking to get a cop who is out of control on camera being out of control. Who cares if they did? It has zero relevance on the story.
