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

    There’s definitely a thing to be said for how reddit-logo has so many people complaining about AuThOrItArIaN cHiNa, but at the same time has so many subs like PublicFreakout or JusticeServed or whatever where they’re cheering for cops or rentacops beating up people, usually for some minor infraction (or even worse, beating up protesters), and then justify it with ”well, they shouldn’t have done the thing if they didn’t want to be beaten”.

    In evil North Korea, etc.

      Don’t worry, if you post a video of someone getting punched for screaming a racial slur at someone over and over they’ll suddenly become enlightened and state how violence isn’t the answer. It’s predictable as shit.

      Publicfreakout can be a wildcard.

      There was a video on there today of a woman in china threatening people with a cleaver in each hand, and Chinese police took her down with plastic bins and a pole that grabbed her ankle. Disarmed her, and arrested her.

      The entire comment section was making jokes about how in fascist authoritarian countries they’d just shoot you. One person tried to be like “buh buh buh organ harvesting!” and was downvoted negative.

      That sub is like the ebb and flow of tides, one day it will be almost entirely anti-cop and anti-Israel, the next it feels like the fucking hunger games looking for a slaughter.

      My experience with PublicFreakout has been mostly pretty positive in that they tend to take an anti-cop stance, especially during the last BLM wave. Their most upvoted posts of all time are all negative about police violence. So much so that a reactionary offshot called “ActualPublicFreakouts” was made.

      JusticeServed fucking sucks though.
