Yeah, that sounds incredibly illegal, her rights weren't read to her for starters. Even if she was instructed to come with the cop, why was that needed to begin with? She is just a teenager, suspend kids that are being dipshits. There are a hundred different things you can do to a kid in high school that don't involve using violence.

why would her rights need to be read? she wasn't being interrogated.

To kids who don't want to be in school suspension isn't really a deterrent. Most kids don't want to be in school.

kids are, er, supposed to be in school, so maybe trying to keep them out is actually bad. just imo.

Right, but if they won't do what a teacher or a cop says (even though the latter is dangerous), what to do in recourse? If they had suspended her, I imagine we'd be lamenting how schools leave some kids behind.

Uh, he handcuffed her? There is a process that has to be followed otherwise it's a violation of your civil rights.

yes and he violated that process because, from what we can see in the video and from the sheriff's statement no crime was occurring and therefore there was no justification for the arrest, but the reading of one's rights has nothing to do with that. she wasn't being interrogated so why are you concerned that she didn't receive a miranda warning?

I would have used a joint immobilization like a hammer lock or a wrist lock and calmly walked the suspect out of the class room without a bunch of theatrics.

I wouldn't have done anything because as boring as being a cop was sometimes I don't think there was a single day of my time in law enforcement where the best use of my time would have been physically assaulting a child in a classroom, that's my opinion

I'm pretty sure there's nothing a high school student sitting at a desk could do short of pulling out a gun/weapon (which obv didn't happen) that would justify what that cop did.

"Mouthing off" isn't cause enough to assault a teenager.

it actually would have been justified if he had a good reason to arrest her. according to the sheriff, though, the deputy was arresting her for "disrupting school" or something like that so it doesn't sound like he did.

to be clear what I'm saying is that what he did would have been perfectly appropriate, and in fact a much much better way to handle the situation than grabbing a taser or pepper spray, if the person he was dealing with was an actual suspect of an actual crime. but from what I can see and from what the sheriff has said, she wasn't.

An officer is required to read you your miranda rights if you are being arrested.

I wasn't aware that was the case in South Carolina. It isn't the case under Federal law, or they would have taught that at FLETC, and it wasn't the case in California, the only American state in which I ever arrested anyone. This must be some peculiarity to SC, although I strongly suspect that it actually isn't true anywhere in the country.

Nah dude come on. Like yeah I'm sure it's 'legal' to do what he did in the process of arresting her but why do police have to get so violent so fast? Even if she was under arrest you're telling me an officer needs to do that to subdue a teenage girl sitting at a desk? Better than a taser or pepper spray? Well yeah but why is any force required to get the cuffs on necessary to begin with assuming the person isn't struggling or trying to fight you?

Like, if I was told I was under arrest (and I have been) I'd say 'aw poo poo' and peacefully let the cuffs go on and whatnot. If I was not even given the chance and just slammed into the ground immediately I'd be pissed off. Girl was sitting at a school desk, no way she was being threatening or anything like that.

e: tbf you should do what police tell you to do, not following lawful orders is just retarded idk why people keep doing it. that said, again: teenage girl.

I'm not reading all of that this wasn't a lawful arrest so I think we're mostly on the same page but from a professional point of view while it was more force than I would have used because I'm personally lazy and don't have a huge hardon for yanking people around she apparently wasn't injured nor does it look like what he did was particularly likely to result in injury so idgaf about the use of force in and of itself so much as I do that the use of force was unlawful.

Calling the police officer to the classroom in the first place was the mistake if you didn't want force used, and the second mistake was her deciding to not comply with the officer.

well er I guess that's true but from a law enforcement perspective the biggest mistake was initiating force against a citizen who was not committing any crime

tbh it seems like most police officers are on board with this. It's the fact that the bad ones routinely get protected that pisses most people off.

that's because america has this bottom-up view on law enforcement that is pants-on-head retarded. coincidentally, this is also why america doesn't have a functional education system. maybe in a hundred years or so americans will learn.

here in australia there's no such thing as county or municipal law enforcement. the only thing sheriffs here can do is issue summons and other menial poo poo.

It probably looks worse than it was, yeah. I'm just saying 'more force than necessary' seems to be a common theme lately.

probably because people are more likely to film things that look dramatic than things that do not, though american local police generally do have substandard training and zero accountability and should probably have their unnecessary redundant existence abolished.

as I said before, if he actually had cause to arrest her, the way he went about doing so is legally acceptable if ethically questionable, but he didn't. she wasn't committing a crime.

There's even a few states that are trying to make it illegal in of itself to record police officers doing their jobs.

Where is that? To my knowledge the only way any states have managed to create penalties for filming police is by attaching them to existing laws preventing surreptitious filming in public areas, which is a perfectly normal thing to prohibit.

I mean I'm not saying you're wrong there's 50 states in America and even people there can't keep up with all of them so I'm just wondering if you can tell me specifically one to look into.

That kid would have been better off in a Muslim country. She wouldn't have been in school so this would have never happened.

On a serious note, I would hate to be a kid nowadays. Kids don't know poo poo about history or math or spelling. I asked a friends 12th grade kid who was Paul Revere and he had a blank stare on his face like "wtf, who cares?" Plus most kids can't do basic algebra without a calculator never mind speeling correcly.

tbf almost no americans have ever learned anything about paul revere beyond his involvement in american folklore, so if they've just stopped learning about him altogether I don't think that's really a loss. the fact that most have no grasp at all of history or physical science is a lot more troubling as is the alarmingly high rate of functional illiteracy.

I remember when I learned the american education system was broken. year 2000, trying to get through group readings in english class when like a third of the class didn't know how to read. we were in the sixth grade. I don't imagine it's gotten better since then.
