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.
 
it just blows my mind that any society, let alone one which is supposedly up there with the best, does not think that if police officers need to work at a school, something is fundamentally wrong and broken

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.
 
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.

Are you sure about that?

People's sarcasm detectors are way off these days.
 
Oh my gosh, he picks her up like she weighs nothing and then slams her with extreme force. He could have easily killed her. In my high school we did have cops, but never did they try to do something like this.
 
In a world where minorities and whites got equal treatment, yeah. But when white people have pointed weapons and even discharged them at officers on numerous occasions, saying a cop has to body slam someone is fucking bullshit. Dylan Roof was arrested without incident and given Burger King, ffs.
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.
 
Oh. That makes it alright then.

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.

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.
 
"The only way this is acceptable" is not an okay statement. There is no possible circumstance in which the cop has the right to resort to that level of violence against a teenaged girl in school. There is no scenario where what the cop did is okay. NONE. EVER. FULL STOP. There is no out. There are no caveats.

You have some mental issues you need to work through, dude. Watch your blood pressure, buddy. :D
 
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.
 
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.

But that school to prison pipeline though!
 
That was my reaction as well but then I started to wonder what sort of shit must have gone down at that school for the administration and school board to resort to such measures?
No need to wonder.
Maybe nothing happened. I think schools in "bad" areas added security like this because of a combo of the war on drugs, racism, and columbine. Maybe if you dress up a school like a prison and treat kids like prisoners then they act like it's a prison. It's that whole school to prison pipeline people talk about.

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

AAEAAQAAAAAAAARoAAAAJGI1ZGNhYzljLWU4Y2UtNDUxNS1iMDI4LTVmOGRiMjU5NTk0Nw.jpg

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.
 
Do you think this looks much worse than the OP? Because he was paralyzed.

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.
 
CNN just had an interview with the mom who said her daughter suffered a concussion. She could have been killed.

Also, don't expect to ever see the body camera footage as North Carolina passed a law to make it much harder to get access to those videos.
 
That’s 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 don’t 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.
 
My high school had a god damn x-ray machine and TSA style metal detector. I kid you not, they X-rayed your fucking sandwich before you enter the building.
...

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.
 
Damn I graduated high school from there. Place was wack as fuck with an unusually high police presence despite Rolesville/Wake Forest being nontowns. Some thing never change I guess.

What the chicken fried fuck am I reading?

Ah well.

I'm out.

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.
