Of course it seemed out of line and maybe it was. on the other hand, we saw a snippet of what happened. he didn't just walk into the room at random and decide to drag a student out of her desk. in the snippet we did see the moron is first ignoring, and then slapping at, the cop.
If I had done that I'd expect to get jacked up. Far as I'm concerned that particular dumbass brought it on herself.
This case may be different. I haven't heard about it, or watched video if such exists.
Ask yourself. Did the officer make any demands that disallowed her her freedom? Was she displaying violence before the officer made demands of her so that he had the right to make demands of her? If it was an arrest, was the arrest for real reasons? Or was it simply the cop on a power trip, violating her rights and freedom?
Often, an officer doesn't really have the right to restrain another's freedom, even by demanding answers to questions the officer asks of them.
well, we saw only a small portion. by most, if not all, accounts she was ignoring her teacher first, which led to the cop being summoned. he didn't just amble into the room out of a clear blue sky, but was asked to do something.
then she ignored him also.
maybe he didn't have the right to do it. in that case he shouldn't be asked to do it. from what I've seen he had the right to restrain her, however, his error was tossing her ass across the floor. I get that, but she's no hero, and she ain't no victim.
If I'd done half of that, my parents would've beat the living hell out of me.
Back to the original topic, these guys should not be there if they do not have authority. He likely overstepped his bounds, which I do see, however, maybe school districts need to start hiring their own security instead of asking cops to do it, and then bitching when things get nasty.
