The CNN webpage with the automatic repeating video advertising is sofa king annoying, but they have the best reporting I've seen on this incident.

South Carolina High School Student Arrested.

Well, it's South Carolina. You have to expect things like that.

Did y'all read the article? The story I saw on CNN this morning, said the student was on her cell phone in class. The teacher asked her to put it away, she refused. The teacher asked her to leave the room several times...she refused. The assistant principle asked her to leave the room several times...she refused. The officer was called he asked her to leave the room, she refused. The offer told her that if she didn't leave the room he would physically remove her. When she would not leave, guess what? He physically removed her, cuffed and arrested her. Later the cell phone part was reported to be incorrect. But she was clearly asked to leave the room several times due to some sort of disruptive behavior and would not. "I'm not doing anything wrong.", was the only reply reported.

Was the cop too rough? She was more gently treated than the couple of times I was told to move by a cop (at about the same age), and I did not move fast enough.

But I'm left to anticipate that shortly we will find out that the only reason the whole thing happened, including the teacher's requesting her to leave the room and the assistant principal's requesting her to leave the room, is because she's black.

I can tell y'all one thing for sure. Had this been me...after the old man bailed me out, as soon as he got me home, it would have been tune-up time.

Maybe she wasn't doing anything wrong. At this point we only know that the original "offense" was bogus. All we know at this point is that she refused to obey instructions to leave the classroom. We don't know why she was so ordered or whether it was for a legitimate reason.

So, you're saying that the level of force was justified, appropriate and necessary? Based on what personal knowledge of the situation?

Was the treatment you received during the above encounters appropriate and necessary? If so, what was your offense?

Is this how you would deal with a situation in which your own bratty teenage daughter refused to "go to her room?"

And, so far, the only person to even allude to a racial angle is you. Is this just you making men out of straw or do you have some kind of valid point to make?

The cop has been assigned to that school for quite a few years, so safe to assume that he knows the student body and admins well. He is big and strong enough to carry her and her desk out of class, yet he chose to drag her and her desk violently. Wonder why and all the details are yet to come out. Still how can you condone the violence especially towards a teenage girl?

Gotta get their stories straight, Rajoo.

The whole incident is on several smartphones, John. Not just the 30 seconds of brutality. We will be seeing the whole incident before too long. You want to jump to the conclusion that the child was an innocent victim of the out of control pig.

I'm jumping to the conclusion that a cop isn't called into a classroom unless a kid is being beligerently defiant. We shall see, shant we.

I am not claiming that the girl was an innocent victim. She needed to be physically removed since she was not complying to school authority. The level of physical force is what I am questioning. Do the cops use the same level of force regardless of gender, age and physical strength. I already know Zeke's answer.
