As is often the case and we last saw when teenager Dejarria Becton was assaulted by Corporal Casebolt in McKinney Texas pundits have already done plenty of pundifying about how the black teenager who was slammed to the floor for the "crime" of not leaving the classroom when asked brought it all on herself by her failure to comply. Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott has said as much.
“She was very disruptive, she was very disrespectful, and she started this whole incident with her actions,” Lott said during a press conference. “She refused to leave the class as directed by the teacher, she refused to follow his instructions, he called for assistance from the school administrator, the school administrator got there — he was African American — and he attempted to get her to leave the class also, she refused his instructions and was disrespectful to him.”
Not many news agencies have reported, or even wondered why she was asked to leave in the first place. As it turns out she had momentarily looked at her phone during class, and apologized for it at the time. Nor have they wondered why the phone issue, which she had already put away, escalated to an administrator and then the now fired school resource officer who had a reputation around the campus as "Officer Slam" for his tendency to throw students to the ground, assaulted her in the first place.
They say she was "disruptive and disrespectful" but witnesses state that she was arguing that she'd done nothing wrong, which actually she hadn't. Before Slamster even approached the student he had another student move his desk and clear a path, then removed the Chromebook that was on her desk - so he planned from the moment he entered the room to assault her regardless of anything she did or didn't do.
And also it's not true, despite the claims of CNN's leading cop-apologist Harry Houck that this WWE move was "just fine" because she wasn't injured. She was injured.
State Rep. Todd Rutherford (D-Columbia) told WLTX-TV the 16-year-old girl suffered arm, neck and back injuries when Fields grabbed her by the throat and threw her to the ground after the teen refused to hand over her cell phone to a teacher.
“He weighs about 300 pounds,” Rutherford said. “She is a student who is 16 years old, who now has a cast on her arm, a band aid on her neck, and neck and back problems. There’s something wrong here.”
Rutherford told the New York Daily News that the teen recently lost her mother and is living in a foster home. The teen’s foster mother said the girl was “devastated and emotionally traumatized by all that has happened to her,” according to the Daily News.
The fact is that what this officer did was extremely dangerous, the girl could have very easily hit her head on the floor, cracked her skull, broke her neck or suffered a concussion as a result of this Officer's actions. She could have died.And for those who say that the problem is improper parenting, the young girl in question happens to be an orphan in foster care.
this article is full of additional info and videos all those out there that blame the victim for not being compliant is saying that no matter what whether they are right or wrong you must obey that sounds like the curriculum change republicans are making to their schools i think if you obey and go through your learning experiences in school what is it you're really learning subservience????????????????
there was no mention of phone ringing so the peak was an observation and like us all who have mobile devices that peek is every bit of a second, than it was put away this sounds more like i saw that and you're going to be my example de jour when that bid for acknowledgement of superiority failed bring in the big gun that too failing bring in the gestapo, that does more to show the incompetence of those school official than the second long peek at something that had not been seen would have never been an issue.
like the article says this guy was on a mission clearing the way for his premeditated mayhem video, eye witnesses, what is there to investigate this is a ploy by police to get time to get their lie straight nothing more the eyes don't lie and the video no one is claiming it was doctored at least yet the police are still investigating".
