US student thrown across classroom by police officer?

[Neil]

law enforcement officer beating and injuring a kid in school who was playing with her phone and whom we know nothing about. As I've said a number of times - please re-read the thread - I can only gauge this by what I see. Personally I don't see a "beating" as you describe. I certainly see him tip her chair backwards and pulling her/sliding her out of it... Now if this has injured here - please re-read the thread - I will sincerely apologise for mis-judging the video. But it's strange how with no injuries were reported at the time, and now (with lawyer in toe) she suddenly has them - Just putting that out there! Personally I'd like to see medical reports of said injuries? Again, if she has legitamate injuries, I'll happily acknowledge how poorly I interpreted that video. But (at the moment), I don't see that video as anything other than a fast efficient means of getting someone out of chair and arrested instead of it turning into a farcicle brawl/wrestle.

ie: If she's done it previous times (previous lessons/days) and been repeatedly warned etc etc... STILL no excuse for the cops behavior. None at all. This was a minor, mickey incident, blown way out of proportion by the "so called" adults involved. A lot of that is conjecture of course... The teacher could have asked her to leave X times. A superior could have asked her to leave X times. The officer in question has been noted as asking her 4-5 times to leave before using physical force... Simply implying she was asked once doesn't seem a fair assumption? It's based on what the other students have said. This seems to have escalated with stupid speed, with only a short amount of time from the phone coming to, to robocop acting like an idiot. And if that's what had happened the day before... and the day before that... and the day before that... and she'd been told repeatedly not to use the phone in class over and over? ie: You're assuming she used a phone for 1 second (ever)? That's an assumption again, ignoring a quite likely alternative scenario that there's a real reason for the matter to be more significant... Again, I'm going on what her classmates have said. Most of them didn't even know what she'd done!

^^ Fair enough... I'd love to see an official medical report on her...
