I leave for a couple months and you guys start slacking :P

 

I figured there would be at least 12 pages of comments.....

 

I watched the video and I support the cop. While it looks bad, I don't feel the officer did it intentionally. I think he was just trying to put cuffs on the kid. If he would of complied to the officers request, he would be fine....

 

TVC, you agree?

 

 

Anyone?

I agree that force never looks pretty. There is no way to shoot someone, hit someone with a baton, slam someone on the ground, etc., without it looking bad. 

 

This case looks bad because to me it appears that he pushed his arm in the wrong direction. Was it on purposes? 

 

I can't tell.

 

I know the TX law on that says that you "Intentionally" committed the act. Even under TX murder law, if you only "knowingly" kill someone (meaning no intent but you knew that it was possible), it is still murder. It takes no "intent" to kill, only that your act was dangerous. In the law on use of force, it takes an "intentional" act and merely knowing that such a result might happen is not a crime. 

 

Inflicting pain is a part of taught use of force. After all, what is hitting someone, striking with a baton, using a Taser or using pepper spray than inflicting intentional pain? 

 

With that in mind, did this officer intentionally break the arm or was he inflicting pain or trying to gain control over him and the arm broke? 

 

I don't know. I know that it doesn't look good but I also would hate to be in that position because I have cranked on people's arms to get them to give up and have never broken one.

So if schools need police to keep the order to begin with then one must ask how safe and mow much learning is there to begin with. 

 

Many or most districts have abdicated their control of campuses from the ISD to the local cops, whether it is a district PD or the local PD that is contracted to come in. 

It has become so rampant that the state just passed a law curtailing much of that action and stopped the police from doing routine school punishments at the request of the district.

Sorry, but I rule in favor of the officer. Kids need to respect authority. They also need to ban cell phones in schools.

 

 

I'm guilty of letting my 13yo bring his cell phone to school. It's beentaken up once and cost me $15.00. He an A-B student (pretty good during puberty) and I like the fact I can contact him if I want.....and he likes to text me his lunch order on Fridays.....

Following the shooting at Colombine, this is the main reason schools allowed students to bring their phones on campus-Friday lunch orders.

 

Cell phones, i-pads, electronic devices are terrible distractions in the classroom. I cannot tell you how many fights start during the school day because of something posted on Twitter or social media. They are the modern day crack for kids.

Nederland is piloting a BYOD program.  But the kids are not allowed to use them in the halls and can only take them out in the classroom with permission.  I guess we will see how it works.

      Waco LaVega is about equal to Hitchcock in speed and size.

      Barbers Hill (28) vs La Porte (55) - FINAL

      You’re the one talking about Elementary school kids.  What I’m saying is that there are kids who play Jr School ball in GCCISD and then transfer into BHISD/GPISD/LPISD/DPISD between 8th and 9th.  Doing so means no PAPF/eligibility questionnaire and they get to play Freshman/JV, work out with the team, etc. and look homegrown because they transferred before freshman year.  it’s a loophole.  All the big programs do it.  That’s why the UIL rules changes, to close up the 8th-to-9th transfer portal, and it isn’t even taking effect until Aug 1 2025 so you’ll see these transfers this summer. Also, as far as BHISD being closed instead of open, just look at the GCCISD transfer numbers I posted.  GCCISD loses twice as many kids to BHISD per year, the “closed” district, than they do to the open Districts in the area.  Anyone who lives here knows folks who’ve used MeeMaw’s address to get their kids in there.  It is what it is and if it wasn’t, UIL wouldn’t be changing those rules and sending one of their own to the DECs now would they?   Go ask Coach Abseck how many kids in his program are 8th Grade transfers.  We know that at North Shore that number is at least 20% because of the numbers they had to provide UIL during their recruiting investigation.  I’ll bet BHISD’s numbers are AT LEAST that.  Again, THEY ALL DO IT.

      According to Texas Tribune, Gccisd, Laporte and deer park are all rated B. Barbers Hill is an A. GC has a higher 4 year graduation rate than LP or DP. BH is far and away the best district on this side of town. GC has a much higher percentage economically disadvantaged at 71.7% with LP being next closest at 52%. Surprised that GC is performing so well considering. All of the players that would likely make a great football team are out by GCM and Sterling. If GCM had Lee's coach and dropped back down into 5A division 1, they would be able to compete very well against BH and LP. I don't know what their problem is with getting the athletes to gel into an actual team. Lee still beat them both this year and was sort of a down year by Lee's standards. Lot of injuries some kids moved out of district and they are paper thin as it is.
