While we can't see the events that happened prior to the actual video. What was caught was still all kinds of wrong and he needed to be fired for it. She might have been in the wrong with her disruption of class, but I can't imagine force of this nature ever being needed for that sort of situation.

 

[Enzom21]

So all those people that said he acted correctly?

Wow dude is victim blaming in a press conference.

"She has to be held responsible for what she did"

What a fucknugget

Still probably think he acted correctly. "The girl didn't know her place and got what she deserved."

 

[No Love]

You've got some messed up friends on Facebook, dude.

Not as messed up as your reading comprehension.

 

[Mammoth Jones]

God forbid the Negros get uppity

Nah we just supposed to pray to White Jesus and forgive and let things continue....

 

[Slayven]

Dude is getting upset

He still pressing this girl needs to hang

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

I've seen kids act up and be total douches in the classroom all the time when I was in school, teachers have avenues to deal with this stuff without throwing students to the floor and dragging them around like animals. It's fucking terrifying that so many people in this country refuse to hold law enforcement to a higher standard.

 

[nitekrawlwer]

Fuck just firing him. He needs to be arrested. If the girl he assaulted and the one who voiced dissent can be arrested then this fuckhead needs to be arrested too. He is not above the law. Talk about unequal application of the law. They just disturbed class he flat out assaulted one girl and threatened the other.

 

[Veritigo_X]

Glad he got fired. I'd like to see the people defending him come back in here and say what they think now.

He says "she started it and was being disruptive. She needs to be held responsible also."

Terrible. She should've been held responsible for disrupting class... but with something like a detention, talking with the teacher after class, going to the principal's office, or calling her parents. You know, stuff that most kids get as punishment for disrupting class. I doubt that's what he meant though.

 

[Agent Gibbs]

Good he got fired, he obviously has no restraint and doesn't know how to aply his training in a reasonable fashion to the 'threat' posed to him or others

as for the girl needs to be held responsible? 100% agree, she disrupted class! so 1 hour detention? an essay on not doing it again? 1 day suspension? they are all reasonable punishments right?
but considering the punishment she already got i'd say the school should forget it now

held responsible? ha says it like she should receive what ever officer judge dredd decides, an utterly pathetic man

 

[RPGCrazied]

The Sheriff does have a point though.

He says we should police the police, if you see them doing something wrong, film it. He can't do anything if he doesn't know about it.

 

[Black Republican]

why is this still going? the sheriff is saying a whole alot of nothing.

and the 2 girls are charged?

Listen we can't be having grown ass men taking responsibility for his actions. He goes down, everyone goes down.

Exactly. The girl needs to be held accountable but at the same time she's a child. There's a reason her behavior is such. Why? What's going on? What's going on at home? She needs to talk to a counselor and get to the bottom of that. She's not acting like that for no reason.

 

[SliceSabre]

Glad to see the piece of shit has been fired. Fuck him and no I don't give a shit about his family.

 

[Clinton514]

This.

 

[Slayven]

The tossing her across the room was the firing cause, not the flipping her on her head.

Damn

 

[Bad_Boy]

i'm just waiting for the go-fund-me's for this officer. I got people on my fb who are all about this girl deserving this "ass whooping" because of bad parenting and what not.

I think it's true.... This shit won't stop until cops start going to jail. He gets a pass because he has a badge.

But If i did this as a teacher (who are also held to protect our kids), I would most likely be fired and charged.

 

[Veritigo_X]

The tossing her across the room was the firing cause, not the flipping her on her head.

Damn

He just had to make that clear for everyone.

 

[Loakum]

Good Riddance that asshole got fired! His ass needs to be in jail too! In the meantime, I can hear Fox News cuing their "blacks are Anti-Cop" talking points, because as far as their concerned, the police are real victims here.

 

[Slayven]

I fully expected this school resource association guy to be on some fuck shit. But he is making sense. He said he could have talked to the girl.

 

[Suikoguy]

Exactly. The girl needs to be held accountable but at the same time she's a child. There's a reason her behavior is such. Why? What's going on? What's going on at home? She needs to talk to a counselor and get to the bottom of that. She's not acting like that for no reason.

The strict 'No Cell Phone' policy does little, if the person does not want to pay attention during class, will removing cell phones really help?

Fixing the lack of enthusiasm for learning is both simultaneously more difficult and more effective.

It's even more amusing at the College level.

 

[Black Republican]

The tossing her across the room was the firing cause, not the flipping her on her head.

Damn

well they gotta examine that shit later you know

 

[Azih]

Every American cop seems to need a drone with webcam following them around 24/7 seems like. I'm glad he got fired. I hope he gets charged next.

 

[pxleyes]

He says "she started it and was being disruptive. She needs to be held responsible also."

Ya. It should have been detention.

 

[DerangedHermit]

The Sheriff does have a point though.

He needs to tell that to the FBI director..

For a thrill, check the Facebook feed of your local news agency for the comments on this story. It's a horror show, at least on ours. I honestly cannot fathom how people, or should I say idiots, believe that racism against African-Americans no longer exists.

That is how you get shot.

Yep. You create a situation where the officer feels that he's outnumbered (by unarmed children, mind you, but still) and he's liable to start shooting.

 

[Omegasquash]

Careful, those kids might lunge or something.

Ya. It should have been detention.

I figure an afterschool or something like that should always be the alternative to getting bodyslammed.

 

[deadlast]

Just heard the Officer "Big Boss Man" was just fired.

 

[Shao Kahn on the Lawn]

Pleasantly surprised that this termination happened as soon as it did.

 

[Crud]

Glad he's gone. Fuck that cop.

 

[rjinaz]

Just heard the Officer "Big Boss Man" was just fired.

Lol fitting.

And GOOD.

 

[Messofanego]

Not as messed up as your reading comprehension.

Friends of friends, then. Although your friends are no angels. I don't envy your facebook convos lol.

 

[User1608]

Good to read the pos is gone. Reading the defense force in this thread was pretty disheartening.

 

[stump sock]

Pleasantly surprised that this termination happened as soon as it did.

yeah, dang. Have to wonder though, if he was on school duty if he was already on a short leash.

 

[Gordon Shumway]

Yeah..you don't play "throw that hoe" with a child. Fuck that idiot..

 

[outunderthestars]

Happy to see he was fired.

 

[Saint Gregory]

I used to avoid the comments in these news stories but now I find it fascinating that people can be this unabashedly racist using their own identities online. A lot of times the posts even show their occupation as being teachers or other gov't employees that makes the fact they're so comfortable inciting straight up violence against minorities even more incredulous.

She might have been in the wrong with her disruption of class, but I can't imagine force of this nature ever being needed for that sort of situation.

We know what happened before the video started, though. And I hope by consequences they mean in-school detention.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Never happy to see a man lose his means of providing for himself and family, but this guy earned it. He could have seriously injured her. He's probably going to have to move out of the city to find a decent job. Or contact Fox News for help.

 

[JDSN]

Gofundme time.

He'll be working for another police department within 3-6 months, easily. Guy's practically a martyr to them already.

Which is what makes white supremacy so horrifying. These aren't just people with no control over anything with these viewpoints. These are teachers, police, lawyers, judges...etc. People absolutely capable regardless of if they're aware of it or not of being very very biased against black people.

 

[CoconutTank]

So forgive me for not following on this incident as closely as possible, but has the teacher, principal, Officer Fields, or anyone else besides Aaron Johnson been able to identify what the student was doing to disrupt class?

Aaron deleted the twitter that it was just about chewing gum (or at least it's no longer on his twitter page). However he kept the twitter which states that none of the other students have been bothered by whatever the student was doing that got Officer Fields involved. So even if there was disruption, it seemed fairly trivial to the rest of the students.

 

[GK86]

"we havent seen protests.."


wait,protests are a bad thing now?

We all know black people can't protest without rioting at some point. They have the National Guard on standby.

Also, that video of the cop trying to box with the teen is insane. Grown as fucking man, twice the teen's size and he boxes (using this word lightly). The cops in this country have issues.

 

[M52B28]

Do many Americans have the opinion that if a cop asks you to do something, you have to do exactly as they say or face extreme consequences? I'm from England and if a cop asked me to do something I didn't want to do (unless I was breaking the law, obviously) I'd rightly tell them to get stuffed.

I do.

I'm not saying that the cop is right for what he has done, but that girl should know better than to ignore authority like that. If that were me, I would have stopped what I'm doing, get up, and address the problem, but know how some young girls are, they like to test people, and it seems like she tested the wrong person.

If I were the cop, I would have laughed in her face and have the school call her parents up, and have her written up, but people think differently.

One of the kids who filmed it said it was because she had taken her phone out in class.

That's a stupid reason to have cops involved.

[gutter_trash]

yup, I blame the teacher for failing to be a teacher.

back in my day they would confiscated our stuff and lock in a drawer, award detention.

if shit went down, then it would be suspension time and a call to the parents. (Like when I applied a Figure Four leg lock on another kid, snap, suspended for a week)

no cops were ever needed for such things.
