It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

It's been a while since a reddit thread got me this heated.

Obviously I don’t know the full context, but often when a school resource officer is the one removing a kid it’s because they’ve refused to leave after the teacher and an administrator have asked them to. So that means the student has been potentially disrupting that class for tens of minutes before someone finally removed them. Not condoning the method but the students probably knew this was coming.

my god, TENS of minutes? TENS? POTENTIALLY DISRUPTING for TENS OF WHOLE MINUTES?

There was no violence there. There was controlled use of force. She was never stuck or choked. Her lack of cooperation with an authorized authority is what caused the event to be volatile. I am confident of two things. First this is not the beginning of this incident. Second this person was given a choice. She made at least two bad choices to end up in this situation. Rebels and protesters don't think about all the costs involved in the final purchase. Usually they don't end up paying it either.

why are you confident of that lmao

My kid would have NEVER. But I went to school with students who acted out, and I didn’t bat an eye. Because if I acted out - the security at school would be a walk in the park compared to the ass whoopin I would’ve received at HOME.

all those beatings have sure turned you into a wonderful parent. "my kid would NEVER" = the kid is doing that thing every single day

Okay galaxy brain, how would you handle removing the child from the classroom if they refused to cooperate?

SO MANY PEOPLE being like "what's the alternative? what were they supposed to do??", the redditor mind can really only conceive of things happening that end in clips. The idea of having a conversation is beyond the imagination, violence is the only conceivable outcome.

What a surprise she’s black /s 🤦‍♂️

and now you see laid bare the thought that every other poster thought before making their post

Yes this was completely necessary hence why no teaching is ever done in 99% of other countries in the world where there are not roving armed police officers who get off from bodyslamming minoritised children.

Though ofc even if she WAS being an inconsolable disturbance and 'ruining' the lesson it still would obviously not have justified this.

Most schools don't even have ANY sort of security and there are still fights and such, it's just the continual paramilitarisation of all aspects of life, of course, mainly for black and poor (both even more so) Americans.

I really dont think its hey its a black school, add more cops and security guards. Its more like we have social decay and poverty here, we dont have any solutions to it so well bandaid over it with cops and security. In turn making the environment more oppressive and broken. Its just a sad losing situation

I think there is an at-the-very-least subconscious relation in the mind of the people who decide how to distribute police between blackness and "social decay/poverty" though. The distribution and severity. of policing in schools is racialised even when controlling for class.

Though I tend to see good intentions in a lot of choices where others don't. I think the ruling class are well aware by now that cops and security are an actively oppressive force, doubly so for minorities, and I would be surprised if there wasn't some degree of deliberate intention to make things worse. Probably as some sort of punishment.
