[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And an 8 year old in the same week.

This is sickening and[b] absolutely a racial thing[/b]. School to Prison Pipeline right here.

I live in Orlando and it's very much in the news in a WTAF sort of way, so it's not like everyone down here is "what, what's the problem." The officer was suspended and the prosecutor refused to do jack about it, so the "system" is at least working there. Despite the fact that the system never should have been invoked. [/quote]
The officer is black.[/quote]

DP but officers of every color feel much freer to arrest and mistreat black children than white.  A racial thing doesn't necessarily mean personal animus - most racism is societal.  Society will bring the hammer down on a cop that arrests a little white girl, regardless of context.  Meanwhile society, as expressed by DCUM, will go give us countless logical contortions about the vicious kicking beast that had to be controlled when the story is about a black girl.[/quote]

Wow, that is an iron clad excuse of all excuses if you ask me.  Well done![/quote]

I'm sorry you don't understand structural racism.  There are approximately infinity studies on the topic showing that black people get arrested for things white people get warnings for; that black children's misbehavior is criminalized while white children get timeouts.  Reality isn't usually seen as an "excuse," but I guess if you really don't want reality acknowledged you might be a tad miffed.[/quote]

O.k. so the answer is to allow a little girl suffering from behavioral issues caused by sleep apnea to continue to [b]kick the crap out of her teacher[/b], disrupt her classroom and defy authority?  You know that's crazy, right?[/quote]

She didn't kick her teacher, she kicked a staffer in the principal's office.  And even then, she didn't "kick the crap out of" anyone, she kicked someone once, and only after they grabbed her arms.  But keep up the "vicious kicking beast" narrative.  It's a great look.  You're not on the wrong side of this narrative at all, with all your made up facts and demands for complete obeisance from first graders.[/quote]

You are saying that the school staff mishandled the situation?  If they had handled it correctly a resource officer would not have been brought in?

Believe it or not, I do find the idea of a 6 year old being arrested pretty appalling.  But I also find it hard to believe that a situation with a 6 year old ever escalated to this level in the first place.  I have personally never witnessed anything remotely like this and I tend to think that this was a highly unusual situation.
