How is this now about a shooter? There was no gun.
It was a girl vs a grown man. No weapons.
The body slam was wrong. My main thing is that people are far more likely to approve of violence against Black children because they view us as feral beasts that need "firmness" to be kept in check.
I don't see the point in obfuscating this attack on a child with "but if it were a shooter". It wasn't.

Yeah I was wondering about this too, I thought the guy is latino american. Many people referenced him as white. I feel like I'm missing something.

Happened down the road a bit from where I live. Officer was a Latino man. He was wearing a body cam that can hopefully shed some light on the situation.
I agree. We never had any police or security at our schools. No checks. At both good school and schools in poor neighberhoods. The teachers dealed with any problem like adults.. And in case it gets out of hand the police gets called which i cant remember ever happened. Also most of times the students would clear any problem up themselfes. I remember i got in a fight once and a older kid breaked us up and we both went seperates ways. Its not healthy for a society to depend on cops and dont try to solve things themselfes.

Agreed, but times have changed. It's like the father says in the movie Friday. That's the problem with kids today. They have to depend on a gun or a weapon cuz they are afraid to take an ass whooping. FACT!

Simply no excuse for an officer/security to do that to the student, given the situation. Learn some damn de-escalation tactics, particularly when working in a school.
Oh. That makes it alright then.
Are you sure about that?
90% of the comments in the article either defend the cop or give him the benefit of the doubt. Some go out of their way to say the girl was "smirking" in interviews, total payday jackpot.
Lunatics.
People's sarcasm detectors are way off these days.

I don't understand the snark in their response, when pointing out that the guy wasn't white.

NO. Saying there is never an excuse to physically restrain someone as a police officer is moronic. This has nothing to do with race, it's a stupid statement.
Because Malyse started flipping out about it never being ok to physically stop someone. The over the top posts is what started the derail.

Saw this the other day. That poor girl. Didn't take long for Twitter comments to include well what if she deserved it...
Unfortunately there's even more, I've seen few other clips from USA too. I wasn't even surprised to see this, it's like body slamming kids is part of the training.

Exactly. The thing is it doesn't matter the color of the perpetrator. What matters is the color of the victim. White supremacy will always condone violence against Black people under any circumstance because that's a feature of the society. Doesn't matter if their lapdog is White, Black, Asian, Latino, Martian.
The name of the game is keep Blacks in their place and that violence against them is ok because we all know no one cares about them.
That's that non-democratic enclave in the United States right?
It still weirds me out seeing armed police officers in schools. Kids fought in our schools, but you'd never see teachers act this way to students.

You aint lying about that.
I NEVER SAID THAT. Jesus Christ, can you not fucking read? Stop conflating "physically stop" with "body slam". They aren't the same thing.
It's almost like you're intentionally misrepresenting my statement to disingenuously argue against a strawman.
You have some mental issues you need to work through, dude. Watch your blood pressure, buddy.

You're right cops should totally body slam teenaged girls all the time. The fuck is this shit?
There is an incredibly wide divide between "never, not even with a gun" and "all the time for no reason". People are not defending this cop, but they are pointing out that if the student were wielding a gun, or a butcher's knife or something then it would be reasonable to body slam the student.
That's not the case here, and there is no justification for this cop's actions, but what you said was so strongly worded and absolute that people disagreed.
It was clearly sarcasm.
I just can't get over how often these videos come up in the age of cellphones and social media, the amount of police brutality available on youtube alone is overwhelming. Makes me wonder if there was ever a time when cops were respected for upholding the law, or if they have always been judge, jury, and executioner of the poor, oppressed, and minorities.

I'm confused, a "body slam" isn't some kind of taboo, traumatizing, life-ending thing. Either way you gotta settle down bud.

I can only imagine what the cop would've done if she fought back
To those talking about race, you do realize that the cop is most likely Hispanic and not white given the name and their picture. Not that it makes a difference overall, as police misconduct is misconduct regardless of race of the officer, but I wish more people would read the story.
Anyways, On Topic, the investigation has been handed over to the state via the SBI, but I have a hard time seeing how its not misconduct. He got her from behind and almost did a WWE suplex. Don't see why such a dangerous and physically violent movement was needed on a student not posing a threat by definition.
Furthermore, girl's statement is she was trying to break up the fight (which involved her sister). And for that last cherry of fuckitude, the school didn't tell the Mother about the officer's action. When she was called to the school, it was about the sister's fighting.
I have to ask GAF: Are all non-black individuals going to be considered white/caucasian? Just curious for future reference and threads.
Oh, and one last item, as to the op saying the cop was burly, he's not bullshitting:
white > non-black > black
If you're involved in a racist incident with someone black, you're allowed all the benefits of whiteness for that one incident apparently. Ask George Zimmerman.
Yeah that looks worse lol. I'm not saying what he did was ok. From that video it looks to be clear excessive force and he's got some anger issues that should prevent him from working at a school. Just saying it didn't look as bad as I thought it would. I see that happen anytime my kids wrestle lol. Again not saying its acceptable.

Rofl dude, I remember as soon as motherfuckers got in the courtyard they would start fighting. It usually started the day before or whatever.
I'm sure it happens anywhere but I went to ms & hs in nc.

Thats completely inexcusable. There are other ways he could have handled the situation and other restraint techniques he could have used if physical force was deemed necessary. I mean we dont even slam inmates like that let alone a child that is probably only around 100 pounds.

Your kids bounce each others heads off a marble floor when they wrestle?
Of course she's concussed. Getting body slammed like that on an unyielding surface is no joke, Ive seen fight after fight take a turn for the worse when someone gets slammed on concrete. You're food at that point.
Your kids wrestle with grown men? You're not saying it's acceptable huh? You're sure as shit trying to minimize it though.

These are standard in pretty much all city schools, as far as I'm aware. Of course I still have to deal with kids smuggling in weapons and drugs, and a lot of students actually like them for the aforementioned problems. It's still very tough to see.
There is a child involved in an education + legal setting, I can gaurantee outside of some immense bribery this video will never be released, regardless of any context it provides.
Care to share what is so lol worthy?

Well she is a small girl, he is a large man, and she was thrown down on a hard floor.
So it's worse than it looks, there are also a lot of different factors that can affect how bad it is.

No one cares about NC. Maybe Obama. But that's it. Send Georgia some more liberals and NBA games, plz.
Maybe pick up Charlotte and more it to North Georgia. Let's swap Athens GA, Augusta and Macon for Charlotte, straight up. Who says no to that trade?
