I disagree with you and STAND WITH THE POLICE OFFICER in this case.

What is the cop supposed to do?

There isn't an easy way to remove a defiant, high school aged child from a school desk/chair.

If the cops are called to escort you from your high school, you are already wrong. Then, she clearly disrespected the lawful authority of the cop. By the time the cops have to be called to escort you from your high school classroom, you've probably disrespected all of the other authorities too.

It looks brutal on tv and it was brutal, but I don't see how the cop could have handled this situation any differently.

Her defiance escalated the situation.

Meet force with overwhelming force.

He had no choice, other than walk away and I wouldn't have walked away from this either if I were this cop. He was called there for a reason. He had a job to do and he did it.
