Quote:
The South Carolina student thrown from her seat by a school police officer had obeyed orders to put her cellphone away, and the dispute arose because she did not put it away fast enough, her attorney said Thursday.
“She could have been left alone,” said Todd Rutherford, the attorney for the 16-year-old girl whom he identified by her first name, Shakara. “She wasn’t yelling. She wasn’t disrupting the class. She wasn’t a threat to anyone.”

The problem looks to have been a girl and a math teacher both determined not to take any shit from each other. I say a teenage girl with such attitude is one thing, and a adult professional is another.
"Officer Slam" is of course out of the school for good, and properly so.
