the cop did use excessive force when he threw her across the room. The method he used to get her out of the desk was per protocol. She had to have been very disruptive if the officier was involved. I teach Health Science, Principles of Health science, medical law and ethics and medical terminology. (Yes, i am still a RN) at a high school. Most of the kids are great, but there are some trouble makers. First we have to call a parent to let them know their kid is acting up (at that time, the kid is still acting a fool). 2nd offense-an assistant principal is called to escort a kid out of class, if that doesnt work then an officier is called. Officiers take down the desk with the kid in it to get them out. Every day this is occuring in some class. Maybe he officier ws agitated, but that doesnt excuse his behavior. A student charged me in class and starting yeling in my face. Officers had to remove her. 99% of the kids'reactions occur when a teacher asks them to put their cell phons away and threatens to take it. It feels like a warzone sometimes.
