TYT: Cop Flips Black Student In Her Desk (VIDEO)

[WhoIsNumberNone]

A cop in South Carolina was called in to deal with an unruly student at a high school. The student was on her phone and not listening to teachers or administrators. The officer tried dealing with the student verbally but then flipped the student out of her desk and tossed her across the floor before arresting her. Cenk Uygur, Brett Erlich (Pop Trigger), and Hannah Cranston (Think Tank) hosts of The Young Turks discuss.

Was the police officer out of line and used excessive force?How would you have dealt with the student? Let us know in the comments below.

“South Carolina high school student who witnessed her classmate being physically abused by a school resource officer was arrested and held on $1,000 for filming the incident.

Niya Kenny, 18, told WLTX she was shocked and disturbed when she saw Officer Ben Fields flipping her female classmate out of her desk and pinning her to the ground for refusing to leave class.

“I was screaming ‘What the f, what the f is this really happening?’ I was praying out loud for the girl,” Kenny told WLTX. “I just couldn’t believe this was happening I was just crying and he said, since you have so much to say you are coming too. I just put my hands behind my back.”

1. One young woman speaks out. One brave soul.

Watching the video there are two startling things that appear. The obvious is the young woman who is assaulted by the officer. The second is the eyes to the desk, head down posture of the other students. They know what is coming and yet are resigned to be invisible. The young men with the empty chairs pushed up close on all sides is also interesting. While that could pose a problem in a fire it certainly stops the law from slipping in and dropping you on your butt. We will have a head down generation walking the streets and we will wonder why! This video is disturbing on so many levels.

2. If this is how the police behave in a classroom full of students it's not hard to imagine

how they treat the adult citizens of the community. Institutions such as the police force don't get to this type of behavior by being concerned about citizen rights.

3. Lesson taught

The students are being taught that when they get into a position of authority, they can use violence to get their way.
