Teacher Shows A Better Way To Deal With A Difficult Student Than Police Brutality

A recent post made to Twitter on Thursday demonstrated how the police and teacher at Spring Valley High could have dealt with an uncompliant student without resorting to the sort of police brutality and violence that was caught on video this week.
