The Sage of Main Street (03-15-2023)
On Twitter, a video has been trending for a couple of days. This video is truly disturbing, as it shows a grown man brutalizing a girl who is only in high school. Apparently, the girl refused to get out of her seat, and was kicked out of class. As a result, the school resource officer was called, which is typical. The officer decided he would take it upon himself to get the girl to get out of her seat. To that end, he ended up grabbing the girl by the neck, dragging her out of the seat, and slamming her.

but by all means, lets make sure we put more cops in school and that they are the only ones allowed to have guns.............
of course, I'd also have to ask you if you think this would have happened had the student been white? i bet it would have.
A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.
Serious question. When a student is kicked out of class and refuses to leave how should it be handled?
*I am not asking how it shouldn't be handled*
At what point is physical removal of the student warranted? How long should one disruptive student be allowed to prevent the other 20 kids from learning? Can a single disruptive student be allowed to derail learning for an entire classroom?
Edit: This video is from 2015, hardly a current event you jackass.

I would really have to see the video to have a valid opinion about this.
All the verbs pertaining to what the officer did are verbally vague,
but the first impression is that unless the girl was herself physically imposing,
the officer may have used more force than necessary.
There is nothing so far to suggest a racial element to it, but again, we can't know on the available information.
Regardless of the details, our schools, administration and students alike, need to do much better than this,
including whatever events led to the confrontation.

Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

I wouldn’t do that difficult job for the low pay, especially nowadays with attacks on police coming from every direction. Not just the lib idiots, but whiney little cowards like you who hate the cops even though you'd be the first one taken advantage of and dead in a world without law enforcement.

I wonder what the teacher thought of it. The image seems to be taken by a fellow student.
