No, it doesn't. I don't remember anyone suggesting that it does.

I don't quite follow but my answer stands, race doesn't give anyone an excuse to be disruptive.

No, I'm not, and your saying so over and over again does not make it true.
It appears to me you're putting more faith in your imaginings than you are in the facts. The girl disobeyed several commands before this alleged "racist" cop forced her compliance. And in one of the nicest takedowns I've seen in quite some time, too Textbook takedown. :thumb:

Your "reasons to believe" are racist in themselves. It's your preconceptions that race was a factor. Surmise on your part. Did he let a white girl defy him while he focused on a black girl?
I agree. Nor does it give an officer the right to treat one differently because of race.
The defining factor in how a person should be dealt with should be dependent on their actions. What bothers me about the *race issue* being brought up is that I see it as a way of taking any responsibility off of the student.

From the article...
Looks like the court has been on his side (no surprise there given the statistics), but his history does support a racial bias. That is not my imagination.

It is in his professional record. This is not an isolated incident. It certainly isn't the whole story but it is a part of it. Unlike you, I do not tend to ignore and brush these types of accusations aside as nothing to support myself.

Does she deserve some sort of reprimand? Sure. Being thrown to the ground by a man twice her size isn't exactly what I had in mind.

well, back in the day she could have been dragged out to the woodshed by the teacher or the principal and given a whipping
or expelled permanently from school
can't do that now

You must have missed the part where cops are trained to pick up students while still in their desks and flip them over backwards onto the ground.
[was waiting for the "he's just doing what he's trained" excuse to come up...]
I don't think anyone is pleased with how this was handled. What I DO see is all the blame being placed on the officer and no responsibility being put on the girl.

Unlike me, you fail to see that cops will have complaints of racism every time a black is arrested. You tend to believe every complaint filed by the perp is legitimate. That's simply being blind to what's going on in this country. It's a result of the political effort to empower blacks. Entitlement run amok. It keeps Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton in the limelight.
The fact is that the cop was told to remove her and he did. It's just an inconvenient truth you hope to brush off. But, your bleeding heart and know-it-all attitude are beginning to bore me, so you can stew over it if you like. :yawn:

Considering it went to trail on three separate occasions I think I have the right to take it into consideration.

To an extent ... yes. However, it is also used as a convenient excuse in some cases. Just ask OJ.

Was he convicted of anything?

Nope. But if we want to get into criminal/trial statistics in regards to minorities, I can do that, too. (I thought you were done?)
He was arresting her for disrupting the school. She was resisting. She was asked nicely a few times before that happened to stand up and come with the officer, she cussed and refused before that happened. Then he tried to pull her from her seat and she immediately started resisting, then that happened.
:thumb: and this kind of thing is WHY the schools are a mess. Entitlement run amok indeed!

Yep, and the chair only went with her because she was holding onto it....hoping not be unseated. Well, she wasn't. :chuckle:
