Nice....face first body slam onto a concrete floor on a 12 year old girl.
School cop probably was in fear of his life or something, I bet. Dude should be charged with assault and fired.
Without context and further information, it's hard to tell if the action was warranted or not.
If a cop can't restrain a 12yo girl without body slamming her he probably has no business being a cop. I don't give a shit what the context was. He already had her restrained anyway.
Or you could say if teachers can't control 12 year old kids without needing to have on premises a uniformed police officer to assist, then they have no business being teachers. It's hard to credibly act surprised when violence is dished out in response to bad behavior when your school's primary escalation path for dealing with said bad behavior is to summon their personal agent of the state; an agent who is expressly authorized by the state to commit violence on the state's behalf to "maintain order". Sure you can blame the cop in any given instance, but the bigger problem is that we as a society have determined that we can't keep schools safe unless we have armed police officers on hand, which is akin to saying we can't keep our cars safe from being stolen unless we equip them with 'anti-theft flamethrowers' like they do in South Africa.

Aaaaaand the crazy comes in, six posts down the line. Lord almighty.
Wonder what the police officer was called in for. Did she have drugs? She threatened someone?

We don't have the context, of course, but most folks would be surprised how ridiculously strong (and resistant to pain, etc.) people can be when strung out on drugs, etc.
I guess edited videos are okay now?
It seems like it should be policy that unless a child is a danger to himself/herself or others, adults shouldn't be touching them. Being defiant doesn't warrant a physical altercation not matter how disrupting it is to the class.

Why? If a kid refuses to do something (like leave the classroom when they are told), how would you suggest they resolve the matter? I agree it shouldn't be the first resort, but ultimately, if talking doesn't bring about a resolution, then it's really no different for a kid in school versus one outside on the street doing something they shouldn't: you will be forced to comply, one way or another.
why should i suffer from being taught when some asshat miscreant, snot nosed kid can't shut their fucking trap and stop being disruptive?
