I will say that I have never sent any of my children to a school that needed a police officer presence.

I will also say that if your plans for not being beaten, shot or otherwise harmed involved pissing off armed men and counting on their forbearance and professionalism, then you have already failed on many levels and I have no particular sympathy for you.
I worked in an affluent, suburban system. They still had an SRO from the Sheriff's department in both high schools. Times have changed and it has nothing to do with a school being "bad" or not.

Any time that you have someone videoing an incident, it's probably staged. Most incidents don't begin by students pulling out their cameras to video an exchange. This video was fairly "pat" so I suspect that the student being filmed tipped off the cinematographer that she was going to initiate an incident.
It takes only seconds now to start recording a video with a cellphone, something you probably know. If a kid had even an inkling that something entertaining might be about to happen it's no surprise that they pulled it out.

This cop possibly needed to go, but, from what I understand, the student mouthed off to the teacher and then to the principal.

The principal called the police.

I'd [strike]feel sorrier[/strike]maybe have some sympathy for the parent(s?) in this case, if they would not have raised their child to be a feral miscreant that acts out in school. I wonder if this child majored in cheerfulness and was an aspiring astronaut.

I think there's some advice about that somewhere:
Train up a child in the way he should go,
And when he is old he will not depart from it.

Clearly none of these are Catholic schools in the "New Orleans Catholic League" tradition. Which you can read as the SRO being there to save you from being beaten half to death by a nun/brother who grabbed the closest thing they could find and went to work. A friend that went to Brother Martin used to tell stories about one teacher and a chair leg he favored quite a bit.

Loved be the haert of Jesus, but the Brother's pimp hands are strong....

If you can't handle a student without face surfing her across the floor, you should not be a cop.

FYI, she's an orphan. In the Foster system. Mom and Grandma both died within the last year. Dad either dead or AWOL. And she's a teenager. No wonder she's acting out a bit.

The cop absolutely effed up. No ifs ands or buts about it. I don't care how mouthy she was being. I don't care if she was a spoiled little wench with no discipline. It really doesn't matter. Absolutely nothing she could have done short of going for the weapons on the officers belt justified that level of response. If it had been her own PARENT administering that kind of treatment, they would be in jail. He deserves the same.

Agreed. I'm horrified that thousands of people online are calling him a hero.
