Yes, he should have pepper sprayed her first. At which point she would have went to the fetal position and the SRO never would have had to physically touch her in the first place. Everybody wins...
Jeez, Pete, just relax.. I'm kidding!!! Holy cow!!

Can you stop being over dramatic and saying body slam?? Whenever I think of body slamming, I picture this:
This says the student hit the SRO.

At least that body-slam is fake.
i'm also assuming you are a white male from a mostly white high school in Iowa that has never been discriminated against and profiled. Its different worlds and not comparable.
I would get the kids out mostly for liability reasons, that is standard practice in a school. It is not standard practice to allow kids to film and put up on the internet videos of their classmates, as it is a violation of their privacy especially as minors. If a kid had gotten injured as collateral damage to this whole thing that school would be up to their chins in lawsuits more so then they already will be.
If this video is from Gilbert High School in an all-white classroom and everything else is exactly the same, many of the comments here would look much different. There's unfortunately no question about it
Many are drawing a lot of uncomfortable conclusions from a short video clip

The girl was not defenseless. In fact, she had the best defense of all, in the sense that she could've stopped the whole thing from happening.
One thing is indisputable: this doesn't happen if she just does what she's told, LIKE EVERYONE ELSE DOES.

"There's no justification for some of his actions...We want to de-escalate situations instead of escalate them. When you have somebody on fire you don't want to throw gasoline on them. You want to put the fire out"
gee, I wonder who said that? Surely some ACLU wonk. Or maybe a BLM rep.

Has anything remotely close ever happened in a Gilbert High classroom?
If not, this is completely irrelevant.
This kind of stuff is more common than you'd think, but usually not with a police officer using that level of force. Defiance in a classroom isn't anything new.
I don't think it would be any difference if a white kid was body slammed by an SRO in a completely full classroom.
I agree, which is why it is ridiculously irrelevant to even bring up the aforementioned scenario in the first place.

I don't believe Harry Houck is the man's commanding officer. Sheriff Lott on the other hand...
And even so, that's exactly what we've I've been talking about. Regardless of if it's legal now, the type of escalation we see in the video ought to be outlawed. That type of escalation has no place in our schools, our streets, or our society. And if seeing videos of cops acting this way is what finally turns the tide of public opinion, and gets the law changed, then that's fantastic. The cops should have no problem with their "justified" actions being put on display.
Didn't read the whole thread but I agree with a lot of what has been posted (first 40 posts). The student is disobedient and needs to learn to respect authority.
That said, you guys should read some of the comments on Facebook... absolutely brutal. So many people crying police brutality.

How so? It didn't promote a race baiting agenda?
Race has nothing to do with any of this.
All you really need to do is read about 15 more words beyond what you bolded and it will be obvious what I meant.
