The first few paragraphs

Don't make a wrong move," the officer said as he pinned the struggling subject to the ground. "Period."

The officer tightened the handcuffs around the subject's thin wrists.

"Ow, ow, ow, it really hurts," the subject exclaimed.

The officer pressed his weight into the subject's small body while school staff watched it all unfold. The person he was restraining was 7 years old.

"If you, my friend, are not acquainted with the juvenile justice system, you will be very shortly," the officer told the child.

Earlier that day, the child allegedly spit at a teacher. Now, he was in handcuffs and a police officer was saying he could end up in jail.

That child — a second grader with autism at a North Carolina school — was ultimately pinned on the floor for 38 minutes, according to body camera video of the incident. At one point, court records say, the officer put his knee in the child's back.

Ironically had the kid been an actual threat, the officer would be nowhere to be found.

A child spitting at a teacher: Evil, send them to jail forever. Beat them.

A cop beating and abusing a child: Normal, correct

officer-involved child abuse

[–] ashinadash@hexbear.net 16 points 6 months ago

Excellent pairing for officer-involved spousal abuse, of course

[–] booty@hexbear.net 59 points 6 months ago

Irredeemable. What the world needs is for this cop to no longer exist.

[–] Zvyozdochka@hexbear.net 51 points 6 months ago (23 children)

I'm neurodivergent and this shit fucking traumatized me in school, and honestly, not even just the cops in school just cops in general. I really fear the day I'll have to interact with one of these fucking pigs for whatever reason because I honestly expect to get shot or something because I did something "wrong".

I've said it multiple times but it can't be said enough... Death to America amerikkka

My son is on the spectrum and has other issues. There's no one to turn to when he gets out of hand. I can't call the police, they will murder him. I can't call the crisis team because they show up with pigs. There's no winning. I hate this country.

Thank goodness the peace officer wasn't hurt.

Americans talk all big game about how other countries are 1984 communist authoritarian whatever. Then they got cops in school arresting kids below class five. And mostly targeting disabled or black kids. Just ghoulish. I'm sorry the fact that there cops in schools is just beyond me. I have no words. Death to america.

I shouldn't have to feel so lucky that I got to go to school without fucking cops everywhere.

Somebody please correct me if this is wrong, but to my knowledge a "school security officer" has never stopped a single mass shooting, but they have shot and abused kids.

[–] Dolores@hexbear.net 21 points 6 months ago (1 children)

but they have shot

good question, i don't recall any reportage on something like that, but it seems likely and could've been hidden beneath layers of obfuscation & neutral cop speak

but yes x1000 on harassing, abusing, injuring, arresting children. school cops are the most truly vile people

yep. this is bringing back some fun childhood memories agony-deep

the special ed room is beyond fucked, even without cops

[–] Findom_DeLuise@hexbear.net 11 points 6 months ago

It took me 15 years to realize that I was being sent to the special ed room back in kindergarten at a Catholic school. I just remember one of the nuns beating the everloving shit out of a girl from my class with a yardstick because she was too energetic and apparently our teacher found it disruptive.

I'm still not sure why the fuck they sent me of all kids down there. That school was awful, and I barely ever spoke to anyone, let alone ran around like a jackass.

Imagine trying to George Floyd a 7 year old. Pathetic waste of human flesh.

Get cops the FUCK out of schools!

"Training Needed"

Every fucking time. Why yes, we need to allocate more money to these people. If only we could have installed a safety railing in the guard towers and train them to not lean on it. Maybe they could operate a robo-dog from the safety of a control room, so they don't feel threatened by the tiny human, as they deploy taser on the handicapped "ethnic" child "for their own safety", they just need more hours in the simulator so they don't accidentally stops their tiny little hearts. At least until the new Hitler AI can be installed and run the "schools" at 100% efficiency so no brave troops will be harmed.

Back in my day it would be an prder to the principals office, detention or suspension. No cops needed.

If Noah had the benefit of hindsight on his ship he could’ve snatched two unicorns and left behind the motherfucking pigs.
