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

That child should’ve thought about her actions before playing STUPID GAMES and winning STUPID PRIZES.

Somehow that comment is even worse than your description of it, because the comment seems to imply that if a child shows insufficient deference to the grown man, the grown man should be allowed to almost murder her.

The whole “stupid prizes” aphorism reduces to a Judeo-Christian view of morality. Rules are absolute and shall not be questioned. They are Commandments passed down from God. We don’t know all of God’s reasoning for the Rules, but if you break the Rules you have no excuse (after all the Rules were clear) and any punishment is Fair according to divine judgment.

Liberals will defend even unjust laws because they believe that deeply in the law and the legal-political institutions in place to change it as needed. Hence another favorite aphorism: The wheels of justice move slowly, but they grind extremely fine. The inability for our institutions to correctly handle situations as they arise is accepted as a feature and not a design flaw.

Every night before I go to sleep, I pray for Amerika to be scorched off the face of the earth, myself included

I’m… So fucking done with pretending these people can be assembled together with. I’m so fuckin tired. You know those crackers’d be the first in line to talk about ‘no, of COURSE they’re not racists, they have black friends who agree that little misbehaving black girls deserve to get manhandled by rent-a-pigs’

I am so fucking tired of this existence

you may be surprised to find that “doing something” does not have a component that is visible online, especially if it’s something effective and you know how to keep your mouth shut.

Maybe some or most of them are bots? It’s a lazy way of dismissing what might be a really disgusting problem but I’d prefer to think that there aren’t this many horrible people. I mean I really don’t want to be in a room full of people thinking that shit is ok, unless I’m visiting a reeducation camp or something.

I think the issue is more one of self-selection by terrible people to a terrible community and those who are less terrible being enculturated to be more terrible.

These people who spend all their time on reddit are not representative of the general population. Groups online can seem like they represent a far larger percentage of people because online spaces tend to become, for lack of a better term, “echo chambers” with their own rules and manners and code of conduct.
