He asked three times and she didn't comply. We don't have all day. Kids that were following rules needed to be taught. Everyone shouldn't be put on hold for this person.

certainly a response was necessary. That response did not need to include throwing a kid across the room, however.
did you just switch sides and agree the cop was also wrong?
I agree with you on all four points:
1) He asked 3 times and she didn't comply? CHECK
2) We don't have all day? CHECK
3) Kids that were following rules need to be taught? CHECK
4) Everyone shouldn't be put on hold for this person? CHECK
Where we part ways is on #5:
5) So the cop is free to throw the unruly kid and teach her a lesson she'll never forget? NO (I agree with his boss, the sheriff on this point)
I'm not switching sides. The cop shouldn't have done it, but the girl deserved it.

sounds like that might have been a tall order. Rumor floating around out there that the girl's mother recently died resulting in her living in foster care. who knows if it's true.

Keep, I never said she was body slammed. I never said she should've been body slammed. Getting "tossed around" is quite different. The "this attitude is not ok but take your time to fix it" clearly wasn't working, and clearly it's a typical issue for this child if the principal and SRO had to get involved.
This is now the 3rd or 4th post in this thread that you've put words in a post in your attempt to make me look like a bad guy, or if it's just your way of setting the bait to get me banned. I honestly don't know.
I have tried, multiple times, over the past year via PMs, to come to a resolution with you about whatever issue it is you have with me, because it's clear you have an agenda against a few posters on here, me being one of them.
You have chosen to ignore my PM's, which has resulted in me PMing 4 other moderators, who have encouraged that I just simply ignore your threads and post.
Since these conversations, I believe I've done a great job at just that. There are posters, like Janny, who I disagree with plenty, but he doesn't pick posters out, and he makes great arguments, while not trying to stir more **** up.
I am not bashing your moderating ability. I am not bashing you as an individual. I just ask, please, just ignore my posts like I have done yours, because to be quite frank, I always feel harassed whenever you're around, even if that isn't your intent. Thanks.
That's silly to a point. Just because a cop says to do something doesn't mean you should always do it. Would you say the same thing if the cop told you to make a fist and insert it into your rectum? What if a male officer decided to illegally strip search a female suspect. Not so in this case, but to say just follow what the cop says isn't right. Just because a cop says to do something doesn't make it legal....

I would bet if that were your kid, you would have some trouble with the heavy-handedness of this officer, regardless of the level at which they were guilty of being a ****.

Inverse situation here. Student body slams principal during high school brawl.
One thing I found interesting is that the news didn't report the color of skin of the individuals involved. Why do you think that is?

Study after study have shown that spanking and physical violence against children is utterly ineffective. If you have to lower yourself to hitting to win an argument with a child, they have beaten you. I am sorry, but it is what it is. It also fails to teach them coping skills of their own in difficult situations that don't involve violence. Logical consequences have a much, much higher rate of efficacy.
In my high school, there were the kids who mouthed off to teachers to look rebellious or cool or whatever when there were others around. Remove the audience and deal with the kid in a calm and collected manner. Again, if you chokehold a teenage girl and throw her against a wall, you just lost and made her the victim.
I completely agree. Why they didn't just push the desk out of the room or pick it up and carry her out is beyond me. The class gets to continue and you can deal with the situation.
Exactly. Now she not only has the attention of the class, but of the nation. The cop lost everything because he just couldn't act in a calm manner.
