The school only has one cop. Should the entire class be forced to wait for reinforcements and miss out on an entire lesson because Her Majesty refuses to follow the rules?
Until she wraps her legs around the desk and/or starts kicking them, which, in your world, would still be proof that the psycho power-hungry cops were brutally manhandling this poor innocent child and she was only defending herself from their fascist aggression.
Does the entire class need to stop and wait for this, or at some point can’t they continue anyway? I’m a known bigmouth asshole, so I’m the type who would be saying exactly that in class. “Stop holding up everyone else for her. Teach the class or give us something to read, but all of us don’t need to be waiting for her, no matter what she thinks she’s doing.”
And when the Department of Justice and the FBI step in to investigate the incident, you can throw out the stupid “It’s only politicians” crap. Reasonable people do not feel this is reasonable, and are taking steps to ensure that it doesn’t happen again. Only unreasonable people like you think it was reasonable and that this is the way it’s supposed to work.
The Department of Justice and the FBI investigated Hillary Clinton’s email server. Are you willing to call that apolitical?
This is how this has been happening over and over again. Some out-of-context police action stirs up public outrage. Politicians declare that The Police Acted Inappropriately, and Something must be done, and We Will Investigate and Find Out the Truth. The investigation happens, it turns out the officer was completely justified, and the same people who keep getting outraged over nothing forget entirely about it the next time a cop gets filmed doing his job.
Your attempted mischaracterization of her actions as “disrupting the class” are at odds with the eyewitness testimony I linked to above.
Your ad hominem attacks on her by continually referring to her by the dehumanizing term “phone asshole” are not swaying me to view your commentary as anything other than needlessly inflammatory and biased.
Your assertion that “that phone call must have been very important” is not backed up by any evidence that there was, in fact, a phone call that she either made or received.
Basically, you’re just making shit up.
So you’re saying she didn’t have her phone out, and she didn’t refuse to leave when told to?
Just grasp the front of the desk and drag it and the girl out of the room. Problem solved.
Then they could use a staff member or wait for a city cop to show up.
If she wraps her legs around the desk she could hardly kick them, and if her legs are free it would be easy enough to avoid any kicks she might try.
In the overall scheme of things, SC has some crazy laws about student behavior. If you’re caught chewing gum in class you could get a criminal record out of it.
They should have told her she was expelled. She can sit and be disruptive today but tomorrow, she is not allowed back in the building.
“Insane Cop Violently Drags Girl Out Of Class”
Maybe if more places stopped treating teenagers like children, they wouldn’t become adults who think it’s OK to steal cigars and punch cops in the face.

First, BobLibDem is not crazy. He advocates for Democrat/progressive positions. Crazy, batshit looney Democrat positions but they’re honest opinions that make sense (most of the time 
).
Second, I believe the situation could have been handled differently/better, as I stated earlier -
“*Since phone assholes can no longer be removed from a classroom, the other option is to remove all of the other students from the classroom. Escort the good students to another area/classroom and resume teaching. Leave the phone asshole in the old classroom with the option staying there, or leave school property.” *
Phone asshole bears some responsibility for her incredibly arrogant actions. She made her choices. No one forced her to act like an asshole. Phone asshole didn’t give a shit about her fellow students. She didn’t give a shit about the teacher’s, assistant principal’s, or safety officer’s instructions or responsibilities. Phone asshole made some bad choices.
Good bit on the front page, above the fold, in today’s LA Times:

Hahahaha. The story is being updated hourly. The internet isn’t that hard. Please try to keep up. Or not.
Thank you for that. We may agree on very little, but I do think you’ve shown some wit and humor on occasion.
Officer Tough Guy has been fired.
And the department settles for wrongful termination in 3… 2… 1…
When that does not happen will you admit you are wrong about this case?
If that does not happen, I will admit that I was wrong that he would win a wrongful termination suit.
He won’t be able to answer you for a bit. He’s on a plane to SC, since Officer Slam probably could use a good sloppy blowie.
Deputy Ben Fields violated agency policy when he picked up the teenage girl and threw her across a classroom as he attempted to make an arrest, Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott told a news conference.
“That is not a proper technique and should not be used by law enforcement,” Lott said.
Was that policy established before or after the department (and a jury) sided with Fields for similar uses of force a decade ago?
