No worries, I got the sarcasm...should have quoted the earlier poster who was actually serious.
Our society is soft, that's what's wrong with it. Situations like this arise on a regular basis because there is no fear of repercussions for ones own actions.
I believe I said that it was a bit extreme........let me check......yes I did.
BUT, and I realize people feel differently on this then I do, if my child EVER behaved so poorly that a teacher, administrator, and cop can't get them to stand up and leave the class room.....they'd have my permission to physically remove them from the room.
I obviously don't speak for every parent and understand this, that is why I don't envy teachers/cops in situations like this.
This way my kids still know I love them.
Edit: I guess this

The problem with society is we are quick to blame authority when those not above authority believe they are.
Our society is soft, but only because we don't have the guts to stand up to power and authority. Say what you want about that girl misbehaving, but fighting back against a full grown cop is ANYTHING but soft.

Yes nothing says you love your kids more than beating them with a specially prepared mallet.This way my kids still know I love them.

I think the real question is: what actually set off this event? In what way was the student behaving poorly and what led up to that poor behavior? How was she being disruptive?
I'm a teacher and I can't imagine a situation escalating to this level of violence. There are so many other ways to deescalate a situation like that. Throwing a teenage girl the ground just shows you how dysfunctional, ill-prepared and probably ill-equipped that whole school is to deal with in-class problems.

Isn't that exactly the reason why people have defied authority figures since the dawn of society? Someone says, "Do this." Another person says "You can't tell me what to do!" And then either they can or they can't. I'm pretty sure that scenario has played out countless times throughout history, in one form or another. How is it so different nowadays?
I get the strong feeling that you just have a bias against police.
Also, she was tossed from the chair she refused to get out of, he wasn't wrenching on her vitals - maybe drop the drama queen act.
You realize this paddle is probably some sort of BDSM tool and not something I made for my kids, right? I guess I better add another jimlad to my previous post.
Also, third video from an instagram account, and from a students account, show her throwing punches at the cop while he is forcing her out of the chair.
I'm sure she was just defending herself though and trying to get out of an awful situation...if only there was a better way to resolve this.

So cops are okay to act like children, but children should not act like children. That seems pretty solid and an accurate portrayal of how a lot of people think law enforcement should work.
Don't you remember how our country was founded? In 1776, Americans complacently complied with British demands and respectfully followed orders, never challenging authority because the law is the law.

No, of course not. But is an extreme response to revolt always a good thing, either?
Not only that, we then consolidated our power and place in the world by fostering revolutions all over the world.
