IS THIS BULLSHIT OR APPROPRIATE?

[HairOfTheDog]

I don't expect the teachers and officer to just sit there while she says na-na na-na boo- boo you can't make me do it, so I think it was necessary to call in the officer and have her physically removed from the class. The manner in which he did it, however, was excessive. I think he could have removed her without dragging her and slamming her to the ground.

Yeah, the original reports that she was just sitting quietly were inaccurate.

The sheriff just expressed the same view as yours based on what all of the witness interviews over the last 48 hours revealed.

He said the officer was not wrong in trying to restrain the girl and get her out of the class once he was called in, but Fields violated policy and training when he took his hands off of her to flip her and drag her.

The sheriff also just said that some teachers and administrators probably need to review the role of the SRO and shouldn't call them in if administrative action is more appropriate or preferable to law enforcement action.

Fields has tremendous support from the faculty and many of the students at the school, the sheriff said. He also served as the football coach of the school.

The girl's lawyer claims she suffered back injuries and her arm is in a cast as a result of the incident. The sheriff says he can't speak to her injuries, if any.

The charges against the students still stand. Sheriff Lott said that what his deputy did wrong doesn't erase what they did wrong.

If any criminal charges are to be filed against Fields, those will come from the FBI investigation.
