Three Houston school cops brutally tackled Ixel Perez...

Why are cell phones being confisicated. They do not do that out here in California where I live. The bottom line is that people under 18 do not the same rights adults have. Just think of all the kids being funnelled into juvenile detention for stupid stuff.

One thing I'll say about you Zeke, you're always predictable.

1. It was a rhetorical query.
2. The answer is "yes," until compliance.
3. Anyone who has actually dealt with such things...

That's the point: you never know.

Compliance first, questions later.

Yes...one can say she should have just complied and all would've been fine. That's not always how a young brain works. A 270-pound guy needs to understand the reality of his situation. A police officer dealing with a high school girl needs to understand his.

He does, which is that she could -- readily -- be as dangerous as a 270 lb guy.

They are confiscated for being used during class, texting is what used to be passing notes in class.

Like I said you cops are out of control.

We need some tough federal legislation to bring you back into line.

Hopefully, with the proliferation of video the public will get enough of your shit and demand that something be done.

1. You know nothing about me or otherwise.
2. This problem 100% starts with the student.
3. It 100% ended with police enforcement of school policy.

If you take umbrage, blame the policy or the student.

Actually I do.

You've shown your ass plenty of times on this forum.

If by "ass" you mean points you ineffectively, at best, refute...

If a police officer inside the confines of a school campus has to react to a school girl as if she's is potentially armed and dangerous when all she is doing is resisting having her phone taken from her, the police don't get how to be a human being.
