Meh, didn't look that bad to me. Kid acting up, cop didn't know his own strength, job got done.
Some have defended Fields, many pointing out that the videos aren't complete. They don't show what happened before, including what the student did and how many times authorities -- a teacher, a school administrator and finally the officer -- had asked her to get up.
Yet another person getting setup by the PC race card bandwagon. That statement says it all, a teacher, school admin and the cop all tried to get her out nicely but she refused. She got what she deserved.
I understand your point there. It could very well be that. But by only seeing the video segments you can understand why people are so up in arms about it. I was shocked by the force and the fact he forced her and the desk hard to the ground. If there is way more to it I would like to see it to get a full picture. But what if she had been injured when she went down, he wouldn't have a leg to stand on
Yeah I agree, but this is the problem these days, everyone acts on nothing, the clip only shows a few seconds of an incident that is obviously much longer. I've already seen people calling for his job and posting emails of various people involved everywhere, its unreal!
Ask yourself one thing, why would the teacher and admin call for the police? The student clearly did something bad enough to warrant the police being called.
There is a guy called Shaun King on Facebook (a so called journalist) who has written the most unbelievable piece of racist propaganda I've ever seen, painting the girl out to be some kind of angel, and the cop to basically be an incarnation of the devil. This guy writes for the NY Daily News!! (although I'm guessing its a rag).
Its exactly the same as that swimming pool incident in Texas, the cop got setup over footage that didn't tell the whole story. He lost his job purely down to pressure from the usual groups, its a very sad scenario now. Everyone knows if the PC mob doesn't get their way, there will be trouble, so they just fire the bloke and get it over with.
