Reader comments are interesting. One reader of this article wrote:
For anyone who is seeking to JUSTIFY this treatment of this child by a man three times her size--stop. Just stop. There is no justification. Can't deal with stubborn teenagers intelligently? Don't work in a school. I am a petite female and I have broken up actual fights between high school students with only my voice and demeanor, so I am pretty sure this officer did not need to use that kind of heedless force. He could have seriously injured her. It's clear that his anger took over. What a lousy example for the kids. If you look at the video you can tell that they are scared and stunned. I had some troublesome kids in my classes--sure--but I never would have wanted to see any of them treated this way. I can't believe the teacher didn't say anything. Appalling. And how is that kid going to go back into that classroom with that teacher whom she can clearly not trust?http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/28/us/spring-valley-high-school-sc-officer-arrest.html
