The first few paragraphs
Don't make a wrong move," the officer said as he pinned the struggling subject to the ground. "Period."
The officer tightened the handcuffs around the subject's thin wrists.
"Ow, ow, ow, it really hurts," the subject exclaimed.
The officer pressed his weight into the subject's small body while school staff watched it all unfold. The person he was restraining was 7 years old.
"If you, my friend, are not acquainted with the juvenile justice system, you will be very shortly," the officer told the child.
Earlier that day, the child allegedly spit at a teacher. Now, he was in handcuffs and a police officer was saying he could end up in jail.
That child — a second grader with autism at a North Carolina school — was ultimately pinned on the floor for 38 minutes, according to body camera video of the incident. At one point, court records say, the officer put his knee in the child's back.
I'm neurodivergent and this shit fucking traumatized me in school, and honestly, not even just the cops in school just cops in general. I really fear the day I'll have to interact with one of these fucking pigs for whatever reason because I honestly expect to get shot or something because I did something "wrong".
I've said it multiple times but it can't be said enough... Death to America
My son is on the spectrum and has other issues. There's no one to turn to when he gets out of hand. I can't call the police, they will murder him. I can't call the crisis team because they show up with pigs. There's no winning. I hate this country.
Americans talk all big game about how other countries are 1984 communist authoritarian whatever. Then they got cops in school arresting kids below class five. And mostly targeting disabled or black kids. Just ghoulish. I'm sorry the fact that there cops in schools is just beyond me. I have no words. Death to america.
I shouldn't have to feel so lucky that I got to go to school without fucking cops everywhere.
Somebody please correct me if this is wrong, but to my knowledge a "school security officer" has never stopped a single mass shooting, but they have shot and abused kids.
Every fucking time. Why yes, we need to allocate more money to these people. If only we could have installed a safety railing in the guard towers and train them to not lean on it. Maybe they could operate a robo-dog from the safety of a control room, so they don't feel threatened by the tiny human, as they deploy taser on the handicapped "ethnic" child "for their own safety", they just need more hours in the simulator so they don't accidentally stops their tiny little hearts. At least until the new Hitler AI can be installed and run the "schools" at 100% efficiency so no brave troops will be harmed.
Autistics love to use their condition to excuse their deplorable behavior. It's not the school's job to coddle spoiled brats who assault teachers. But I suppose that's an alien concept to entitled autistics who think the world must grind to a halt to hold their narcissistic hands from cradle to grave. Now the little shit is finding out that actions have consequences. And because of his tantrum at being held accountable for his actions, he is probably going to jail. Behave yourself. Comply with orders. It's that simple.
