Outrage grows after South Carolina officer throws student in classroom (1 Viewer)

[CowboysFromHell]

It's neat that the kids walked out and all, but the day we make public policy decisions based on few hundred high school kids walking out of class we should probably just hang up this whole democracy experiment.

It worked for blm.

Blm is a few hundred high school kids walking out of class?

Well...yeah. It's sort of a good comparison.

"There is absolutely no place in this district for what happened yesterday," said Richland School District Two Board Chairman Jim Manning. "Our tolerance for it is zero."

Dr. Debbie Hamm, the district's superintendent, said she's worked in the school system for four decades, and said it's one of the most upsetting incidents she's seen.

"It was outrageous and unforgivable and it does not represent what this district stands for," Hamm said.

The district said they will have additional training with staff on when it's appropriate to call an officer to the class, and will work with the sheriff's department to increase training for officers. "Clearly something did not go right in this classroom," Hamm said.

Spring Valley Principal Jeff Temoney said he began Tuesday by going to the class where the incident happened and spoke to students. He's been on the job at the school for 16 months, and said he was disturbed that something like this happened where he works.

"It hit me in the gut," Temoney said. "I will make certain this kind of horrible episode ever occurs again."

South Carolina Education Superintendent Molly Spearman also responded, saying she agrees that investigation was needed.

“I am greatly concerned by these videos,” said Spearman. “The safety of our students is always our number one priority. School districts contract with hundreds of dedicated school resource officers who work hard to protect our students across South Carolina. However, these videos and what they appear to show should concern all of us in public education. While it is vital that students have respect for law enforcement, it is equally important that law enforcement ensure they do not abuse the power and trust school districts instill in them."

Here we go again, blaming the authortiy figures—the cop, the teacher, the administrator—for something that stated by a kid being a jerk off.

No wonder why kids have a bulletproof entitlement issue. We can debate all day if what the cop did was correct or not, but the fact is that he didnt just pick a classroom at random and start body slamming kids. This was brought on be someones actions and i feel kids today are losing sight of the fact that their actions have consequenses. And we are not helpnig them.

Yes, discussions like this need to be had within that school, but there needs to be someone talknig to the kids as well with how you need to follow GD directions when an authortiy person is tellnig you to do something.

Is there some kind of subliminal message in there somewhere?

Cop should use this unwarranted firing to his advantage. Big guy like him, sign on with the WWE. Already has his ring name. Officer Slam!... Turn this negative into a positive.

Nothing to do with an attempt to influence public policy, IMHO. The idea was to demonstrate that the story of Ben Fields wasn't so simple, not so easy to package (e.g. statements in this thread about Fields addressing this situation in "typical cop" fashion).

Actually it's not. This protest was calm and civilized....

The cop just did what cops do: take down anyone who doesn't obey them in a violent manner.

Cops have an "obey me or I will beat your ### and arrest you" mentality that has made them unfit for resolving situations peacefully. Any situation you bring a cop into you should expect to escalate and involve violence.

You're a strange dude....

Did your wife cuckhold you with a cop or something?

Just not a fan of aggressive violence when it's not warranted. Sorry you find that weird.

I think he meant you're a moron for stating it like all cops have that mentality. Only someone directly abused by a cop would think that.

Right, because high school children getting out of line at school and not respecting authority and getting ion with their classes shouldn't be tolerated, that's anarchy, not democracy. That's a good point.

That's not close to what I said, but I appreciate the thought.

Sure, no problem, keep it in your hip pocket for when it's needed.
