Girl Who Filmed Cop Attack on Female Student Arrested, Student Blamed for Starting ItBy Amanda Warren There is also current baiting andnitpicking over whether the girl may have hit the officer during what the media calls an altercation. Is that the case people really want to make considering that this incident literally could take place at any school and schools are supposed to have a zero-tolerance policy for violence? It looks more like hands flailing in the opinion of this writer and commenters are increasingly pointing that out. This strange logic, of course, insinuates that there was an organic two-way fight and that a female student deserves the kind of force normally reserved for domestic abuse, combat training or extreme cases of adult-to-adult self-defense. It implies that so much as an involuntary tapfrom a teen girl somehow made the first flinging rampage okay. The other two anglesactually make the incident look much worse: What crime committed could ever justify such a clear act of violence? According to a Sheriff, the disruptive student refused to leave after a teacher told her to. This writer is not in anyway defending bad behavior toward stressed out teachers, but this writer has accidentally witnessed instances where teachers and even principals call officers for the most minor instances of student defiance sometimes escalating the instance into an arrest with handcuffs. In the past, physical disciplinehas ended in tragic results such as brain injury. It only sets a criminal example for how to resolve conflicts. The same Sheriff is blaming the girl for starting it implying that if she had only behaved, she wouldnt face physical harm. It says nothing of the extreme actions of the SRO. This attitude of trying to somehow justify physical abuse is reminiscent of the deputy who clearly implied that if women didnt want to get raped by police they should follow the law and not get pulled over. School resource officers are hired from local departments to work at schools and they have recently come under scrutiny for using brutal force and Skinner-esque corporal punishment tactics on children as young as elementary school age. Recent incidents highlight the utter lack of training and oversight of letting officers look for criminal trouble wherever they can find or manufacture it during school hours. While an internal investigation should be wrapped up by tomorrow most likelybending our perceptionto think of what we saw as justified and no wrongdoing they have strangely turned against the girl who originally filmed the incident. Or maybe not the officer is on administrative leave and any further disciplinary actions (not involving physical harm) will be revealed shortly. WLTX 19 reportson how the student who filmed the event was also arrested: Niya Kenny,18, is speaking out after she was taken into custody in her Spring Valley High School math class. She says she was standing up for her classmate who was being arrested by Student Resource Officer Ben Fields. I was crying, screaming and crying like a baby, says Kenny. I was in disbelief. I know this girl dont got nobody and I couldnt believe this was happening, Kenny explained. I had never seen nothing like that in my life, a man use that much force on a little girl. A big man, like 300 pounds of full muscle. I was like no way, no way. You cant do nothing like that to a little girl. Im talking about shes like 56. Kenny was charged with disturbing schools. Her mother remarked: But looking at the video, who was really disturbing schools? Was it my daughter or the officer who came in to the classroom and did that to the young girl? In this recent explosive episode, the officer is drawing both ire and defensiveness for the blue line. But how would people feel to find out that this same officer overseeing students also once emptied a can of pepper spray on a U.S. veteran? The Columbia FBI Field Office, the Civil Rights Division, and the U.S. Attorneys Office for the District of South Carolina have opened a civil rights investigation into the event. It is time to stop the mental acrobatics, the nitpicking and the internal investigations and realize that some SROs have no business working with children. Only one state has been known to enact training. It is certainly not the time to punish the student who may have gotten the only piece of credible evidence for a potentially tragic incident. It is no wonder that people continue to point fingers at the school-to-prison pipeline. Amanda Warren writes for selfnews Postwhere this article first appeared see her recent articles HERE over killed story. Bleeding hearts should work with blacks and see their attitude behavior.Since Obama hit the sceneblacks think they are above the rest. You are full of it and it aint human kindness crawl back under your rock with your race batting BS. Bleed on this(middle finger up in air) Abs rubbish when you stand up for rights They arrested the girl that filmed just goes to show you how the school systems are indoctrinating kids to be obedient slaves. Even though she had the right to film she was arrested. Her family should sue. Actually its generally illegal to film anyone in a school without proper releases, its different from filming a cop on the street. It may be a school rule but the Bill of Rights trumps school rules. Had that incident not been recorded there would be no hard evidence as to what happened. True public school is a public space no expectation of privacy by anyone student has every right to film as long as the filming is not disruptive. actually neither of you are correct, schools are not considered public property like a park or public space and students are in fact accorded a certain expectation of privacy. heres a hint, you can;t just walk on school property as a rule either, at least while classes are in session. You people should educate yourselves better. Thats what schools do indoctrination. Wake up its always been that way. When the system sends these brats to me for a job they go into shock that I dont allow them to possess a cell on the job/clock leave it in your truck. If your wifes gonna have the baby have her call me and Ill let ya know on your next break. LOL I get what your saying and totally agree, but your attitude towards your employees stinks of some power tripping complex. What happened to no phones in the classrooms? Our schools are really zoos, filled with Yeah, Im sure that Tampa Tom NEVER, EVER broke a rule in school. Good god, Tom, what a freaking racist hypocrite you are. From Florida. That figure. If the school is afraid of my child having a phone on them, I would be afraid to let my child attend that school. But your version sure makes it nice for th emale and female happy hookers out there, bedding students. She must have done something to deserve it, just like the girl who got her world rocked. What about all of the vids posted over the last 12 months of black students attacking white teachers, black teachers and white students? Not a peep except for brief mentions in their local markets. Why? Because the amish need blacks, etc. to leverage their power while whites are really the only threat to amish power. This situation is all over the national media did NOT deserve to be in any media. Black children require heavy handed tactics thats just a fact. Youre right Robbie CheneySINCE Obama has been in office, there have been OVER 500 instances nationwide of black on white vicious assaults including knockout gamesblacks attacking whites without provocationand attempting to KNOCKOUT unsuspecting whites. It has caused DEATH among elderly whites who were attacked. What happened to the girl? Is she okay or in the hospital? Ive been reading these stories since yesterday and have not read a single word about her current condition. I know the girl that filmed it was arrested, but I know nothing about the victim. The victim? THIS black girl MADE HERSELF a VICTIM!! We are all victims if we allow police to behave this way in the name of protect and serve. Shes a straw breaking a camels back for a people starting to notice that police seem to have a training problem that has gotten epidemic in just the last four or five years. I am not a victim..! Speak for yourself..! She is a trouble-making student who should have left the classroom when asked..! Hopefully, shes in prison for all the felonies she committed..! And you probably wont! The media will follow the cop, he will be reinstated, all cogs in the race war machine. The whole thing was set up by the black girl taking the video! How else the nasty girl who refused to put her cell phone down, punched the cop and all kinds of other things were not recorded by the rotten victims friend. The media is so biased towards Whites that they are always wrong in the Racist Medias view Any time a black thug, girl or boy, is involved, according to the media it is always the white persons fault or the cops NEVER the rotten instigator black thugs who will do anything for publicity To think the deputy got fired over this is just terrible he was doing his job by getting this black , rude, obnoxious girl out of the class room per orders from the teacher and principal who couldnt handle the witch. I hope the girl that filmed it, files multiple lawsuits, against the officer, and the department, and also the school, for allowing such heinous acts of DOMESTIC TERROR to take place on taxpayer property! So, its okay to strike a police officer and resist arrest..??? Its okay to be noncompliant towards authority? SHAME ON YOU..!! Behavior has consequences.always.What did this girl think was going to happen? .go get back on your knees and suck corrupt-cop-cock somewhere else. What a coward and compliant little drone you are. Your parents must be so embarrassed to have to associate with someone lacking in morals, ethics or courage. Shame on you , you little weasel. THIS girl was WRONG and YOU ARE WRONG..!! YOU are exactly what is wrong with our country.! YOU are the one who is causing, promoting, advocating for and supporting the uncivilized behaviors like the one exhibited by this girl! YOU have a filthy mouth that needed to be washed out by your parents probably as soon as you started talking..! YOU are the one who needs to hang you head in SHAME..!! YOUR parents are the ones who raised a heathen!! Black lives like these dont matter..!!! I should flag you for your language, but free speech is important to me..! no.I was raised by a six-foot-nine-inch, 350lbs, drunken, corrupt, racist, abusive cop and a corrupt-court-clerk-mother who cursed like a sailor. But as you suggest, she used to wash our mouths out with soapthoughsince we fought backshe had to resort to using Ivory Liquid Soap. So I have been exposed to the sociopathic cop-cult for a long time, and you seem to be licking away like a bansheefrom what I can tell? Unlike yourself, I spent decades travelling the world and teaching others how to think, process information, communicate and interact with people of various nations and ethnic backgrounds. I have 3 adult kids who are all very successful and have a sound ethical basis. My son is a very good Sacramento Cop, a Lt. in The Army and already has a degree in physchologyat the ripe old age of 23. My other kids are very successful as well, and know to how conduct themselves ethically in a corrupt world. I was a Federally Protected Whistle Blower for over two decades with US DoD as I wouldnt participate in their corruption, and I have a memoir that I wrote about being raised by such corrupt animals as yourself and my parents. My book, Webster Groves is being considered for movement to a film. So let us get back to the now fired police officers actions(btwthe fact that he was fired tells you right off how stupidly wrong you are). First of allyou idiotthe officers actions have to be viewed in the light of that persons Constitutional Rights. Simply misbehaving or refusing to comply are not grounds for an ass-kicking by a law-enforcement officerunless she was a threat to him and his safety. She was not, so your point of view is fascist and un-American. The next question you have to ask is the level of violence and force he brings to bear in a situation in which an intelligent , non-racist individual would have talked the situation down, rather than escalate itwas that force right or necessary? No. However, what you imply in your idiocy is that being beaten is good for the development of a child, and Im here to tell you that you are clueless. When you beat or abuse a child, all you do is teach them to comply, or be abused. They really never learn to gather information, process it effectively and make good decisions. They simply learn to comply, until as an adult they find themselves in a situation where they do not know what to do, and they end up hurt, or hurting someone else.Thus, they learn to comply, until they have reached an age or physical maturity where they do not have to pay attention to idiots such as yourself. The word discipline means to teachbut clowns such as yourself always confuse that withpunishmentand being the animals that you are, you always resort to violence, because you are to stupid to learn anything differently. GFY. Im happy for your successes and sorry for the abuse you experienced growing up..! I am not an idiot.I am a well-educated woman.an educator and a Cognitive Behavior Therapist for more than 20+ years..! The definition of learning is changing behavior and hopefully this girls behavior will be changed for the better by this experience. She must take responsibility for her own actions. Spend a week in a REAL classroom with the current chaotic climate, atmosphere and attitudes and then get back to me..! Thanks for your post.! you know what?I travelled the world for US DoD teaching to rooms of thousands of people. I worked for a 12 billion dollar a year entity within DoD, andI know how to teach. Once, I was in Dallas in our organizations headquarters, and was teaching to a class of about 200 people.when the head of the agency, a Two-Star General came into the class and sat watching for a while, then he left. He returned about fifteen minutes laterand he had the entire executive staff of the agency with him, and he made them watch my classhe went on to explain I want every class that we teach in our Corporate University, to be taught just like this. When the confused executives asked, do you man this class?the General responded, no, every class we teach should be taught with his level of enthusiasm, energy and effective results. So, I have been in many classrooms, Japan, Germany, Bosnia, Hungary, Korea, The Netherlands, Croatia.all across The United States. I was also(if I didnt say it before)a Federally Protected Whistle Blower for US DoD for over 20 years, as I refused to go along with their corruption. I dont mind individual corruption so much, but systemic corruption is what Ive been watching and fighting against my entire life. In spite of zero college or university, I managed to survive decades of abuse, from both home(corrupt cops)and work(DoD). Sometimes I get too involved in arguing against the corruption and people I perceive to be tolerating and supporting it. My language, though purposeful, is often too aggressive. Be safe. You be safe, too!! God Bless ALL the Whistle Blowers..we need more of them.!! Cognitive Behavioral Therapist Oh no Oh yes Next you will be saying if he had a gun he would have been justified using it on this SCHOOLCHILD. I am sure you had moments at school where you copped an attitude? This is the problem you have when you are criminalising children and forcing them down a specific route. If this were your child would you readily accept them being treated like this? NoI didnt! I was a serious student and wanted to make something of my life so I NEVER made choices like that trouble maker made for myself!! She made herself a victim! Behavior has consequences!! Your acting like a drama queen! And No, I didnt have moments where I copped an attitude.I was a serious student and wanted to make something of my life..! And I did!! Am I really, if you say so thanks. Well done you for making something of yourself, not sure what that is? Guessing you measure that in dollars? Just be thankful you had the opportunities you had, and you had the guidance and desire to take them. However it is clear that you see yourself above others less fortunate who never had the same. Nothing lasts forever.. You are WRONG again.! I do not see myself above or below anyone..! I was one of those less fortunate ones you are talking about.from a very poor single mother family.the oldest girl of nine children.I studied hard.worked two jobs in college and graduate school.raised a child.studied/made good grades..made my life bette..made good choices for myself. I never wanted to go back to poverty and knew that it was in MY own hands to change my life! THAT took me 10 years to accomplish, but I did it..! Oh, and I dont measure my life in $$$!! This black girl made herself a victim!! Plain and simple, she is completely responsible for what happened to her. Hopefully, she will learn something from this experience and wont end up dead or in prison by the time shes twenty.!!! This police officer just might have saved her life.!! Commendable though everyone has a story. You appear to be right about everything it seems. I will give you that the girl may not have helped her case but I dont condone violence by police who are trained to deal with these situations. I know for a fact and his reaction was unacceptable. Why have you highlighted the girl as a black girl? Do you see this as an issue or factor? The fact that the girl was black was in the story..just like the fact that the policeman was white? What is your point? NO, I did not see race as an issue or factor until it was made an issue. THE REAL ISSUE here is a noncompliant trouble maker who was asked to leave a classroom that she was disrupting. She brought this whole thing on herself.ALL by herself..! All she had to do was leave or give the teacher her phone! She refused on both counts! Now, she is facing FELONY charges for resisting arrest and physically attacking a police officer. SHE made a very bad choice for herself..! NOW, she will suffer the consequences. Hopefully, she learned something from this, if not, I predict she will be DEAD or in prison by the time she is twenty..!! YES, you ar righteveryone has a story..! Learn something? Looks to as if shes already learned disrespect for her school AND YES!! It certainly appears that way, doesnt it? I am convinced this was not her first offence.!! You poor brainwashed sheep, go somewhere and experience solitude and try to clear your mind. Perhaps you would benefit from some pisilocybin mushrooms or some marijuana to challenge your sad narrow brainwashed perspective. Okayso, now I totally understand your altered state of mind posts! Do me a favor.dont waste what few brain cells you have left .you are going to need them for simple, routine, basic daily tasks!! 128 Stanford Binet (2 points under gifted) and have been making in excess of $100K for nearly 10 years now managing very complex projects. (did quite well prior to that too I am an educator and Cognitive Behavioral Therapist for more than 20+ years..taught GIFTED students for 12 years..! My daughter.my only childwas killed by a drunk driver! I can assure you, she was a well adjusted, loved and lovely, well mannered girl! She never gave me a minute of trouble or one ounce of attitude..her life was good the short time she was here and I thank GOD for that.She loved and was lovedI cannot ask for more than that!! She would have never behaved like that trouble-making girl in any of her classrooms.at homewith friends/family/strangers! Fear? I dont have fearsbut I dont like to be out on the ocean in a boat when the weather is bad..!! I live my life openly, honestly and with respect for myself and others..!! You actually seem to have some deep seeded fears you should probably deal with sooner rather than later! Greg, maybe you could spare a little of your stash, just to get us through? No stash, have not smoked in some time, even longer since the mushrooms but I do recommend both as a way to change a persons limited perspective So if that was your daughter in that video, you would reprimand her and say she deserved it? I agree that she should have went to the office our whatever, when the teacher told her too, but she didnt deserve that man-handling by no shape or form. My daughter would NEVER have been in that position in the first place!! So, now you are saying we should blame this girls parents? This girl is old enough to assume responsibility for her OWN behavior!! Your attitude is a huge part of what is wrong with our country.! We live in a civilized society and when people behave like this girl did, that is classified as uncivilized behavior.!! What did this disruptive girl think was going to happen? She was told before hand that she was going to be arrested!! She got arrested! She made herself a victim by her own actions.just like Michael Brown! What pat of resisting arrest and you dont hit a policeman dont you understand? Lets say YOU behaved this way..what would happen to you.? YOU would GO TO JAIL.! WE HAVE LAWS.!! I never said that she was right in her behavior, I said HE was WRONG in his! Agree with you that our rights are being trampled on. That is not okHowever, neither is the behavior of the girl who disrupted the classroom.Look at ALL the rights she trampled onAll of her classmatesthe teacher.the administrator..the policeman! SHE and SHE ALONE brought this on herself. If she had made a better choice for herself, NONE of this would have happened! AND we wonder why there are so many blacks in prison..! THIS is a perfect example..! She shamed herself..her family and her race!! Im pretty sure that I agreed that she was wrong. My point is so was he! Her actions wont be talked about in the weeks to come, her actions will be chalked up to ignorant youth rebellion. He as the adult, authoritative figure, should have handled it better! There is NOT any argument that justifies either of their actions, but SHE will fall under the youth umbrella. P.S. she only ashamed herself, her family probably taught her better then that, and Im Black and she didnt shame me at all. The cop wrongfully grabbed and put her in a chokehold before she ever touched him-in videos I saw from several angles. And the point is that a cop should never have been called in the first place over misbehavior that isnt criminal. Shame on YOU for being such a coward that you advocate hiring armed thugs to brutalize children over cell phone use. You need to spend a week in a real classroom and get back with me.!! Yeah, Im sure that the children are far more dangerous than the prisoners and drug addicts Ive spent lots of time with over a few decades. Youre a coward lacking in common sense, and think that force is a substitute for building respect and relationship with people. No wonder youre an educator. Edit: and you might try learning to write something without multiple usages of multiple exclamation points to try to look like you have something to say other than fear mongering. I am not a coward and have more common sense than you any day of the weekpick a day!!.! Prisoners and drug addicts started with these SAME behaviors didnt they??You seems to be one of those bleeding heart types! You should contact a doctor!! Most likely prisoners and drug addicts did start with these behaviors. And what helps them, just like what helps all humans with problems, is not being brutalized, marginalized, and stuffed in a cell (think recidivism rate). Its being shown that they have worth and value and that they should respect themselves and can do something good with themselves. That requires people to work with them who dont view them as animals to be beaten and forced to comply solely due to fear (which control is only effective so long as the threat of violence is in their face). But that also requires people whose dealings with them arent ruled by fear (cowards like you), but genuine caring. And you should also contact a doctor and see if they cant transplant in a heart so that you can begin to treat people like humans. In the meantime, you should really stay away from all children, lest you teach them your own utter lack of compassion, or your unfortunate habit of using multiple exclamation points like a twelve year old girl. i am NOT saying this girl does not have value! We ALL have value..! Those are your words.NOT mine..! This girl devalued and disrespected herself by the choice she made to have herself arrested..! Now, she is paying the price, isnt she? I would rather have the good heart I have than to have your bleeding heart!! To make excuses for this girls bad behavior shows me exactly who you are!! People like you enable people like her to STAY RIGHT WHERE THEY ARE IN LIFE.a very bad place! Its left to be seen what this girl will do with her life, but enabling bad behaviors is not the answer, is it? I have not made excuses for her behavior (using her phone in class), which was inappropriate, not criminal. I also didnt say she shouldnt face consequences for itonly that she shouldnt face violence for it. But, typical of most control-freak fascist establishment types, you think that anyone who believes in a solution other than violence is a bleeding heart. Congratulations on that Good German award! Using her phone was not the criminal part. Did you miss that? She brought this upon herself.nobody else did that..only her..! I am not a fascist, establishment type.FAR from it..! It did not have to escalate to that level if she had done what she was asked to do. THAT is all she had to do!!! For you to defend her in her choice shows me that you think children who disrespect authority are justified. THEY are NOT! YOU are acting like a blind drama queen.Im sure its not the first time, right?? Chokehold.? Hahahahaha..! Kids are NOT in school to use their cell phones in class.they are there to learn! Teachers cannot teach students who are disruptive..! Period.! Someone like you cant teach anyone anything. So, what youre really telling me is that you are too old to learn anything new? No, what Im telling you is that people who think that a teenage girl should experience violence because of texting in class and copping an attitude is better suited to a career as a prison guard for an authoritarian regime than an educator. You and those like you are why I homeschooled my daughter. The girl made the choice for herself! Hopefully, she learned something.! Policemen dont tell you they are going to arrest you and dont follow through..!! What about that didnt she understand..? I am completely sure that your daughter or my daughter would have never behaved this way under any circumstances. And you were right to homeschool you children. The states indoctrination and propaganda institutions are EVIL!! . You seem absolutely determined to miss the point that the cops should never have been involved in the first place. What the kid was doing before the cop arrived was not criminal. Using a phone in class is a discipline issue, not a crime. Cops are law enforcement officers, and should never be involved in a non-criminal matter. Had the teacher and administrator done their jobs in administering discipline, the whole issue would have been avoided. The kid would have gotten detention, suspension, or expulsion. The parents or guardians would have been inconvenienced to come and pick her up. The whole class wouldnt have been put in danger by having the potential for armed conflict in the classroom. The kid wouldnt have been brutalized. The other kid who protested her treatment wouldnt have been arrested. And the cop wouldnt have been fired. Its amazing the good that occurs when people who signed up to do a job actually DO it. The girl in this case was being a dumb kidno excuses for her, but also no surprise. The adultsall of themwere the ultimate cause of the bad outcome. I did not miss the point.! IT was NOT a criminal matter when that policeman walked into that classroom!!! Armed conflict? Are you kidding me? NO.the adults were not the ultimate cause of this bad outcome!!! Unfortunately, in this day and age, police officers must be involved in the schools!! The chaos, drug dealing, disrespect and complete lack of order in the school system demands this. It has gotten worse over the yearsand you and I both know this, or your would have never made the choice to homeschool. I am not saying the police officers was correct in his actions.there were many other ways this could have been carried out. What I am saying is that this girl ALONE made her choice and it was not a good one..! YOU have completely missed the point that the girl herself escalated this incidentSHE turned this into a criminal offense by resisting arrest, and physically striking a law enforcement officerall she had to do was make a good choice in the moment. Many young people dont do this and must be taught to make better choices for themselves in EVERY situation. By making a poor choice, she turned it into a FELONY charge against herself..! .IT did not have to go that way!! There are many examples out there which support and prove my point. 1. Youre finally right about something. It wasnt a criminal matter when the officer walked in. Therefore, he should not have been there. Cops are not counselors, school disciplinarians, social workers, or parents. Their job is to enforce laws, and they should have no involvement unless a law has been or is being broken. 2. Yes, armed conflict. Once an armed police officer is involved, there isevery single timethe potential for the use of armed force, whether by mace, baton, taser, or gun. The examples of this are ubiquitous, all over the media. And even in cases where arms are not used, violence is the standard when police are involved. 3. I did not make the choice to homeschool my daughter because of drugs or student violence or any behavior of students. I did so because of the utter lack of competence in many of the school staff, teachers and administration,, and the tendency to treat students like inmates to cover for their own lack of knowledge, creativity, teaching ability, and professionalism. In short, I did it because I didnt want her treated like a criminal or a mindless sheep. 4. And finally, yes the girl made a bad decision. It should have been handled as a school discipline matter, by the school teachers and administration, until or unless the girl broke a law or posed a physical threat to someone. Only then should an officer have been involved at all, and had that not occurred due to the incompetence of the school officials, the chances are extremely good that everyone, including the cop, would have been better off. A police officer was called in because the girl had already broken the law! The girl BROKE THE LAW by disturbing the classroom.! That is against the law! Look it up! THEN, by resisting arrest and physically striking a law enforcement officer, she herself took it to another level. Period. Okay, now I see why you homeschooledYOUR own daughter had problems in school, didnt she? Now, I get it..! Guess what? Policemen carry gunsthats what they do. You are trying to make it seem like because the officer had a gun that it was an armed conflictgive me a break!!! In no way, shape or form was it an armed conflict, so you should stop making stuff up! Now, we are just not going to agree on this.! I am for following rules and laws and you are not. I am not for people illegally resisting arrest.!! Look at the stats on resisting arrestit never ends well..!! Now, lets just suppose that there was an armed sniper in the school roaming the halls looking for students to kill, would you be glad then that there was at least one armed law enforcement officer standing at the ready? I see. In your last comment, you said that it wasnt a criminal matter when the cop entered. Guess what? That means there was no law broken. Making stuff up as you go, I see. Yeah, my daughter had so many problems in school that when we took her out, she was No. 1 in her class, with no discipline, top underclassman on her debate team, and is now a National Merit Scholar getting paid to go to college. Real troublemaker that one. As for the part about the armed conflict, you have reading comprehension difficulties, which doesnt surprise me in the least. And finally, for the sniper nonsenseHow many schools have cops in them now? How many of those cops have injured or killed a student? And how many snipers have been taken out by a school resource officer. Answers in order: A lot. Way too freaking many. None. The girlBY HER OWN ACTIONS.escalated the incident to a FELONY CHARGEDisturbing school in South Carolina is a misdemeanor.look it up!! I am not making up anything..! So, I guess you homeschooled the whole time your daughter was being educated from Pre-K on or did you have some help from the school system with your daughter before you removed her from school or do you take sole credit for all your daughters successes and the school didnt help her at all?? Or was the school as bad as you say so thats why you pulled her out in the first place.You are full of a lot of doublespeak..! If schools are as bad as you say, then we need police in them!! They serve an important function..!! Based on your own post and the the stats you quote, then there are actually no problems having police officers in school then! How many cops have killed or injured students? How many snipers have been taken out? So, whats the problem? We live in a violent society and it gets more violent each day..Have you ever spent any REAL time in a REAL school these days and I dont mean volunteering for a hour a week..I mean spend a week in a REAL MIDDLE SCHOOL or HIGH SCHOOL? I would much rather have police officers with guns for protection in every school..! Obviously, this teacher and this administrator felt the same way, because they BOTH called on a law enforcement officer for help.Which by the way, MOST PEOPLE do.including you..!! We guard our money in banks.what is more important our children or our money?? We will never agree on this one..! I had my daughter in a small charter school, followed by a small-town k-12 where they didnt enjoy the police state quite as much as the average burb school, and she did well. When we moved, she went briefly to a public schoolthe supposed top high school in the state where the officials were a lot like youscared spitless of their students and more interested in control and conformity than in educating children. So we took her out. As for my stats: once again, you cant read. That you are allowed within 100 yards of any child, much less educating them, terrifies me. And youre right. We wont ever agree. Im not afraid of my own shadow and I dont believe that violence solves problemsespecially with children. You are a very insulting and verbally violent person..violence takes many formsbut so whatfree speech, right? I am not scared spitless of students and I do not like the police stateYOU are assuming a lot..! I am interested in students getting educated in an organized classroomnot a constantly chaotic and disruptive classroom! And you obviously are as well or you would have never pulled your own child out of so many schools! FYI.try teaching ANYTHING in a chaotic classroom..!! You appear to be a person who is a chronic complainer and never satisfied! But, Ill bet you have heard that before, right? There are many more REAL things in this life to be terrified of than me..! Good luck with your daughters education. Oh, and one more thing.I read just fine.! I pulled my daughter out of ONE school. The other changes were due to moving to different states. And as I said, I didnt pull her out of that ONE school because of chaotic or disruptive classrooms, which I never saw in any of the schools my daughter went to, but because of incompetent school officials who treated kids like inmates. If you could read, youd have understood that my stats referenced a situation where most schools have cops; theyve abused, hurt or killed quite a number of students, some for little to no reason, and theyve NEVER stopped a sniper. And Im insulting because I mean to be, as I have nothing but contempt for people who believe kids should be subjected to violence for for the sake of order, simply because they themselves lack the skills to maintain discipline without hired thugs. Sounds like you have your life totally under controlGood Luck..! Sounds like you have your life totally under CONTROL..!! Good Luck..! Sounds like you have your life totally under CONTROL..!! Good Luck.! I dont know why my comment is not showing up.I have written it four times. Here it is again: Sound like you have your life all under CONTROL! Good Luck..!! RESIST ARREST? She was doing absolutely not one single thing to be ARRESTED for. Moron. YOU are the lawless moron..! YOU are a lawless MORON!! This is exactly what happens when a people let themselves be dominated by authority. Now its gotten to the point where the children are not safe and are under attack. The sad and sickening thing is knowing this will not be stopped. The people didnt care when their childrens minds were being systematically attacked and neither will they care the children are no longer physically safe. If you need further examples just look at how the food supply has openly and catastrophically been contaminated which is detrimental to both mental and physical health. It is highly probable there will be more false flag shooting attacks this halloween therefor most likely children will be targeted and yet still the masses will gladly send their children out and into danger without a second thought. So, youre okay with lawlessness..!! OMG!! You poor frightened creature. Reject your fear, we will ALL DIE one day, stop fearing it and try to live while you can WHAT.?? This was ALL a pre-planned event, inspired by the black lives matter bunch, she deliberately provoked this event. The officer had NO choice but remove hershe ASSAULTED him, ANY IDIOT who has eyes can SEE the girl struck the officer at least once in the face or neck and the desk tipped over as she resisted him removing her from it. His FIRST duty is to control the situationthat means RESTRAINT, the girl was fighting him until he dragged her away from the overturned desk and potential injury for both by falling against it, and cuffed her. You strike an officeryou PAY the pricethat means rough handling, SHE got what she asked for. Youre out of your mind. You dont have a thinking brain..! You forgot to mention him throwing her across the room. Or did you omit that little detail for a reason? I wouldnt call slinging her a few feet into a clear area to cuff her, throwing anybody. She was not more than inches off the floor, no injuries were reported but I can imagine shes already got a ACLU or Black Lives matter attorney for a planned lawsuit. This was all planned, you can bet this was NOT something that occurred out of the blue. The officer MUST control the situation, period, taking down the perp is the first move. P.S., this girl is 16 YEARS old, shes NOT a child! I would like to know WHY this black teacher could not remove this black girl himself? The teacher was black.the assistant principal was black and they could not get this black girl out?? They called the WHITE police officer? Thats fishy!! I think you are rightthey called the white guy.!! BINGOPlanned!! Barack Insane Obama tactics!! Think again, by LAW, she IS a CHILDshe is not an adult UNTIL 18! B.S., she passed from being a child when she graduated to TEENAGER, shes a young adult now. The next time your life is threatened out in public or your car is damaged in an accident or somebody robs youcall black lives matteryouve shown your bias against LAW AND ORDER in this country. Hunt down and eliminate? Now I know youre nuts. Tell me a 16 year old cant do you in, and Ill politely call you a liar. I dont advocate police brutality. It exists and its wrong. But there has to be a line drawn somewhere. And we need police, like it or not. Take a look at whats going on in Chicago, and other Metropolitan areas, and tell me it aint so. Your avatar just may have you fooled. Just you. YES, SHE made herself a victim!! ALL she had to do was comply with her teacher, the assistant principal and the school police..!! She didnt.!!! HER behavior was responsible for exactly what happened to her. If she is this lawless at 15, imagine what she will be like when she is 20.She will be in prison before shes twenty..!! AMEN, you can bet shes from a broken family or one without any supervision or authority over her. Allow this type of behavior in school and youll have schools in violence shortly. This was not some small child as the media would portray her, just as Trayvon Martin was no child, he was a head taller with a thug attitude that he proudly posted on Facebook before he confronted George Zimmerman and Michael Brown being bigger, heavier than the officer in Ferguson that he attacked and tried to take the officers gun after assaulting and robbing a convenience store clerk before being killed. Would LOVE the see this female thugs Facebook page..!! Ill bet it will be very revealing..! Oh look, another liberal monkey. Next time I suggest the sheriff tell the teachers to deal with their own problems. Maybe they can just cancel class and let the student do whatever they want, when its someone with a gun, Im sure all the liberals will be able to calmly reason with them with out too many kids getting killed wouldnt apply in this case, do some research on the law before quoting without understanding it. Where is your citation that circumvents: Section 242 of Title 18 makes it a crime for a person acting under color Simple filming in school is not a protected right and there is no SCOTUS ruling to support the idea that it is. You can of course disagree and provide a ruling to the contrary. Ill wait while you do you research. I am still awaiting your citation, not your personal position, that circumvents USC Section 242 of Title 18. Ill accept any legal published citation. of course the SC has ruled on topics such as this. They have ruled that in Public Places you have a right to film Public Officials going about their duties. This a public official, acting under the color of law, in a publicly financed building. You lose. Thsank you! Forget it, people, IE SHEEP, do not want to be bothered with those pesky rights things, they defer to a badge to tell them what their rights are, and are happily living an ignorant life. Her civil rights were violated were they not ! Hey! That happen in the # 1 country, for freedom, democracy and my A Is there any good in the USA my word you ppl have it so bad Its not about race. A 19 year old white boy was just shot twice in the back by police in SC. Police have killed over 900 Americans so far this year. There have been over 300 mass shootings across america so far this year. They want you to be afraid. They want your guns. They want CONTROL. ITS ALL ABOUT CONTROL. 300 mass shootings? Do you mean MULTIPLE shootings, meaning 2 or more? How many were gang shootings, lumped in with the others? William, refer to (mass shooting 2015). They name some and many are anonymous. Ill bet 70% of em are gang shootups. Only way you can come up with 300, or about 5 per week. THIS black girl was given every opportunity to comply with her teacher, the assistant principal and the school resource officer!! She DID NOT COMPLY!! What did she think was going to happen?? THIS black girl resisted arrest as well as physically attacked a police officer..! Plain and simple.!! She broke the law.BIG TIME..!! Those are felonies..!! When are these people going to learn to obey the law!! We can trace her behavior right back to Barack Insane ObamaEric Race Baiting Holder.and the Black Lives Matter movement..!! Their grubby little paws are all over this!! This policeman should not have lost his jobthis sends an anarchy message to every criminal thug out there!! THESE types of black lives DO NOT matter..!! Put her in prison! Anarchy is the LACK of a CENTRAL control structure, NOT a free-for-all war zoneDAMN peopleKNOW what words MEAN! i am FULLY aware of what anarchy means.You should educate yourself instead of concerning yourself with people who are SMARTER than you!! Obviously, YOU are not that person! I can guarantee you that I am much more educated than you.but that is neither her nor there! You need better reading comprehension skills..! Good day to you, too..! After reading this link, I suggest someone go straight to the WHITE HOUSE and arrest Barack Insane Obama..!!! It is time to stop the mental acrobatics, the nitpicking and the No. Its time to stop having cops stationed in schools AT ALL. All it does is criminalize childhood misbehavior and invite abuses. Meanwhile, and sorry if this offends anyone, but if you are a teacher or school administrator, and you and your colleagues cant handle minor disciplinary matters in your classroom without the aid of armed mercenaries, GET THE HELL OUT of teaching. Youve got no business there. You make no sense. People like you really piss me off. People become teachers to teach. They go to work to teach kids. They dont get paid(enough) to deal with kids and teens that can be bigger than an adult. My mother happens to be a teacher has to deal with badass kids every day and she is still amazing at her job. I watched several angles of the videos and saw no punches. And if a teacher doesnt believe him or herself (and colleagues if necessary) capable of handling a discipline issue with the kids theyre teaching, then theyre unqualified to teach that size/type/age of kid. Discipline issues occur. They shouldnt be criminalized unless the kid is close to adulthood and violence is involved. This girl wouldnt stop using her phonenot a criminal actand if the teacher couldnt handle such a basic issue, she needs to find a different job. LOL-she stopped using it. She simply refused to relinquish custody of the thing. And given what they cost these days, I certainly do not blame her one bit. Moreover, perhaps she had a pressing need to use it, for lord knows what reason. Also, you just basically proved my point. You said They shouldnt be criminalized unless the kid is close to adulthood... Last time I checked the girl is a 56 18 year old. First, the kid was a 16 year old sophomore. Second, nice that you stopped reading (or went past your ability level) before the AND. I said AND violence was involved, which it wasnt until the cop started it. 1. I saw that. I can read. Thats what in a quote means in basic grammar. 2. The point is, if she were to put her phone up, the wouldnt be any problems. Of course the police officer went too far, but it all goes back to: No sweetie. What it all goes back to is cops arent schoolteachers. They arent therapists. They arent mediators. They are LAW ENFORCEMENT. So you call them when a law has been broken. Not when someone is annoying. Youre the one who makes no sense, and people like YOU piss off every single person with a functioning brain. They get paid more than enough, and if they do not like it, then they ought to find another venue of employ. You morons, and your make-believe videos claiming that the girl swung punches are just a bunch of lying, redneck apes. And it is not illegal to disrespect so-called authority, and certainly absolutely no more disrespectful of them DISRESPECTING us, and WE are the actual authority, thank you very fn much. As far as your mother goes, all she would have to do to be amazing at her job, is to be a wee bit brighter than you are. You should spend a week in a real classroom and get back with us! Minor disciplinary problems? You must be black. Yes, minor disciplinary problems. The girl was using her phone in class. And no, Im not black, but you must be a racist. Oh! Look! You must be a white redneck! THANK YOU!!! Kids go to school to LEARN. Teachers are there to TEACH. When that formula breaks down and others must be called in to remove a disruptive student from the classroom, there will be consequences..! By this girls noncompliance, she turned herself into a trouble makerTrouble makers are ALWAYS removed from the classroom!! ALWAYS.!! NOW, she will be facing felony charges for resisting arrest and hitting a police officer..!! Go spend a week in a real school and get back with me..!! Resource Officer? yea right!!! Is that what pigs are called today? Have this swine tested for drugs, meth steriods. That should happen with any and every incident, just like any other job. Surveillance cameras showed that the girl swung punches at the officer before he even touched her. Stop trying to make EVERYTHING about race/gender. Yes, there are issues but sometimes it doesnt matter what race the person was, its about how disrespectful they were to authorities. And Ill ask again: how about a link to the surveillance video youre referring to? Update on this story, the cop did get fired Source link? It is LEGAL to record ANYBODY when in public, and a school is PUBLIC property, owned by the people, and used by same. Whats going to have to change is what happens _after_ the information is recorded. They are using it for fishing expeditions for coincidences to railroad and harass innocent people. Judges allow the evidence, thus they keep gathering it. 1st, 4th, 6th, and 9th amendment need an update regarding this issue. Hmm, articles 3, 6, 11, and 12 of the original bill of rights are interesting. Ratifying said update/s will not exactly be easy. The 18 year old is a full grown adult old enough to vote. If the officer doesnt have the authority to pick the girl up and remove her, then he shouldnt have been called. If she fights that fiercely then of course she is going to hit the floor. The consensus is that the girl needed her behind kicked, and the officer didnt have the authority to do it. So only resort was for the teacher to clear the room, put the students in another class room, and leave the girl alone to show off alone and think it over. The girl obviously needs counseling or psychiatric help. Not public employees at a public place. Bullshit they are not. She was in a public place and had the right to film a public servant the courts have rule on it time and time again. Talk radio has been going around and around on this, and no-one has even mentioned the elephant in the room. The second arrest is the giveaway. The reason the school is so incensed is that they got CAUGHT. According to other students, this crap happens all the time (the cop was nicknamed captain slam) over there. THAT is why the school had a zero tolerance for camera phones. The same reason so many other organizations prohibit cameras or camera phones for security purposes. Yeah right. The ONLY reason they are banned is admin is afraid of something like THIS. Could it be the wifi inside the room was turned up to radicalize those inside the closed box classroom as guinea pigs? Pulsed frequency devices stimulate certain parts of brain and dull other parts. Is the whole country been taken over by whomever controls the frequencies? Please buy meters to evaluate your living spaces.. Youre out of your mind. Only in some backward place like pennsylvania is it illegal, and then, it is only applicable to audio recording. I think you had better well wake up, and educate herself. It IS her right, in more than one way. It is a public servant, in a public setting, doing a job paid for BY the public. The Supreme Court has ruled that it is totally legally, and that the police have absolutely no right in interfering with a person doing so. It is common knowledge law, and I suggest you google just a bit, and get yourself up to speed on the matter, before you make yourself look any more foolish. NOTHING that little Child could have done could justify a big huge bulky heavy cop slam her to the ground! Just imagine if it was a Black Cop and a White kid? Enjoy your $50000/day in fines for all the unenforced/new things that will be enforced if enough happens. As it is, theyre well on way to enough happening. I thought Demolition Man was not supposed to be a dark comedy. She either flailed or tried to grab onto the cop, hard to tell which, ONCE, and only violence had been initiated by the cop. Which is exactly why it should never have been started in the first place. No, cops arent needed in schools. They are an invitation to violence and abuse against children. There were always bad kids who did violence in schools, before there were ever cops stationed in schools. And there still are. In this instance, they could have called the police, just like everyone else does, and the police would have responded from the police station or the nearest patrol car. The many students who have been abused by cops in schools FAR FAR outweigh the very few incidents like this when there is real criminal or violent activity. You might also notice that in the article you cite, the on campus cop was nowhere to be found when the event took place, and the school didnt even call 911so the risks of having the cop stationed there werent even overcome in the one sort of instance where a cop should have been called to deal with a student. I dont think there are ONLY minor disciplinary problems in schools. But school cops are usually called in for only minor disciplinary problems. When there is an actual crimelike thisthey can call the cops just like everyone else in America does.
