Typical playing of race/ethnicity/gender card on your part.
If you don't like people pointing out your biases, maybe you should reconsider whether your biases are fair or not. Or so obvious that they are impossible to miss.
Then read better. Are we not allowed to disagree with you as to whether this constitutes assault?
Sure. But don't expect me or other people with eyes to pretend we don't see how some posters claim that a black person putting her hand on the arm of a white person is assault but a cop lifting and body slamming a child to the ground is not assault. Or to point it out.
I'd go to an optometrist.
You definitely should. But an optometrist cannot remove the bigotry that colors everything you see.
She is definitely thrashing as he tries to restrain her. The bystanders saw it too, telling her to "chill".
He's flinging her about. She seems to be making no movements that could possibly be considered kicking at him or resisting him. At least you are no longer claiming she is kicking him. She's practically limp.
No, but neither do I think they should be able to get away with things by playing the race/ethnicity/gender card.
Get away with what? Breathing? Talking to another student?
Since the video started when the cop already tried to restrain her that is hardly surprising.
Uh huh. That's it: a massive conspiracy to video a cop assaulting a child, ignoring her doing nothing to warrant being thrown face first onto the ground by a grown ass adult.
Reportedly she was fighting, or about to fight, another girl. A crowd of spectators gathered and everything.
I mean why do you think the cop tried to restrain her in the first place? Also, the girl has been in trouble for fighting before.
Really? You mean a group of middle school students thought two students were about to fight....and that means they were about to fight? Or were fighting? Did you drop out of school in 5th grade?
I have no idea why the cop did what he did. The fact that he picked up a child and flung her around and slammed her face first into pavement does not mean that he was justified in doing so. In fact, those actions call into question his skill set entirely.
Yet you predictably take the anti-police side in these things.
No. The person who is anti police is the officer who cannot deal with a sixth grader except to physically pick her up and slam her face first into pavement. He hurts all police officers. He undermines the public's trust in all police officers by his lack of judgement and restrant. He injures public welfare and casts shame upon his entire profession.
Do you have a still showing said bruise?
It's in the video clip in the OP. Maybe ff through the parts that get you all excited and actually look at the close up image of her eye.
10 bucks says they hire a shyster within two weeks. Unfortunately the district will likely settle for a large sum.
Again, this has nothing to do with ethnicity or gender but about what her mother was saying, trying to maximize the incident and minimize her daughter's involvement.
I hope they do hire an attorney.
Seriously: WTF do you really expect a parent to see video of their child being assaulted and not stand up for their child? The mother is very restrained.
And you know she has "internal injuries" how?
You learned to read where, exactly? Same place you got your medical degree?
