I'm not.......

George

It looks (reads) like an eight year old was throwing a fit. Striking, hitting, an adult, and was calmly restrained and told you cannot act that way.

Am I missing something?

The only thing I disagree with is that someone called in the SRO for an 8 year old not listening....ignore him or make him sit outside the classroom door....

where ya teaching at these days TRH?

Only laws, rules, and premissive mentality that are the reasons the little brat acts that way in the first place.

Cops, teachers, and preachers can be alittle overbearing at times. I always wrote up preachers and teachers for fish and wildlife violations. They like to hold people to high standards. If it was an officer and the "mistake" was minor I let it go. Teachers and preachers never cut me much slack. One of the angriest violators I ever wrote up was the male member of a husband and wife teacher duo fishing w/o license. He cussed us for coming out 2 days after licenses expired and writing citations. I told him that I agreed that it was chickenshit and to just produce last years license and we would let it go. Well I declare he hadn't bought that one either.

That was the job of the vice principal, and if he was unavailable then a male gym teacher was next in line. Never seen a police officer at the school when I was growing up.

The principal at our school. Everybody knew about his wooden paddle. No parents were stupid enough to questions it.

So this cop was concerned about a little kid kicking his ass??

Exactly.

Thank God. You appear, however, to be a minority among the Fire's cops and their cheerleading squad.

How do the cops handle situations like that at the school where you teach?

i'll make the popcorn...

TRH, make no mistake about my posts, I don't condone his actions.

I just question your standing in the whole matter.

Didn't watch much of the video, but if the kid was uncontrollable, handcuffing in such a manner prevented injury to the child and those around him. We've became such a nations of whiny puzzies.

We have resource officers, and in the thirteen odd years I've been teaching public school, I've never seen one case of handcuff use, let alone Chinese torture style handcuff use, and that's high school, not middle or elementary. One time I saw a resource officer tackle a guy twice his size (a huge senior lineman) in order to break up a fight, but I thought he did a great job in that situation. If you're suggesting handcuffs are the norm for resource officers, you're way off base.

What an odd statement.

Really? What's odd about it?

What one jurisdiction does to punish an errant cop is none of your business, unless you are a citizen of that jurisdiction. Do you disagree with that?

If you make it your business, you'r a busybody.

The reason I commented is, I get tired of these cop-bashing threads. Cops are human and they make mistakes. Why do people continuously make that observation, with a sense of wonder and surprise?

I compare it to the knuckleheads who botched the lion hunt in Zimbabwe. Much ado about nothing. I guess busybodies everywhere need something to occupy their attention and outrage.

What did I say that made you feel I was criticizing all cops? Cops, as individuals, are a mix of good and bad, honorable and dishonorable, etc..

Did I say you were criticizing all cops?

So what do we do these days when a young hellion has an episode?
