Why is nobody here weighing in on the biggest thing in tv news?

The crazy thing is that the only reason that this bad cop and his victim will see justice is because other students had their cell phones.

The school should have a rule that all cell phones are off in the classroom.  If a student breaks that rule, they lose cell phone privileges for a week the first offense, a month the second, and no cell phone on the third.  This is a matter of poor administration and policies.  I am sad this officer was even called into this classroom.   A complete abdication of duty by schools.

Black children are constantly given conflicting admonition, on one hand listen to the man and do what you are told, the other is don't take no chit from the man..stand up and make Rosa Parks proud.
Cops on the other hand think they are above the law and can get away with murder and most often do....what kind of system allows that wretched attitude anywhere near our children ?

Dude, take downs happen on kids other than those who are a minority.

But police in the schools?  The ultimate in breakdown of authority between child/parent/teacher.  

They recently placed four policemen at NWFSC.  It is  a very small campus. I see no reason for the placement.

We are a police state.

Let freedom ring...
