I realize you didn't intend this but you just said it in exactly the correct way. The disruption was indeed from the officials. The first was the teacher who escalated the situation by demanding that the girl leave the classroom [i]after the girl had complied by putting her phone away. The second official, the principal, escalated the situation by calling the resource officer.

It should also be noted that the resource officer escalated the situation even further by assaulting the student. We heard his side of the conversation. All he did was order her to stand up or he's make her stand up.He did nothing to try to defuse the situation. He could have said, "Look, (girl's name), you know how this works. If you don't get up and come with me, I'm going to have to arrest you. Neither one of us wants that."

Would it have worked? Maybe or maybe not but it should have been tried. Fields took a school disciplinary matter and turned it into a violent confrontation all by himself.

So now, Fields has lost his job, he'll probably get sued. So will the school and the sheriff's department.

Brilliant.

You still only halfway answered one of my questions.
