Excessive Force Much

This is a article that my boyfriend showed me, it was a small one. Still it caught my eye and I just need to share my opinion about it, because I just thought it was insane and stupid.


This incident happened in March at Fairmount Park Elementary School, a 5 year old girl caused a disturbance in class. Well that's not unheard of, children do that. According to the reports, she tore papers off display boards and then climbed on a table. Then she punched the assistant principal, clearly there was something wrong for her to behave like this. Normally you would call the parents in, but this time they couldn't get them to come to the school. In this case, usually the teachers would deal with this. Just give her a time out or take her out of the class, but did they do this. Of course not, they didn't do the sane and rational choice. Those dumbasses called the police to subdue her, so now you need police officers to subdue 5 year old little girls. This isn't the end of it, things get even more insane. There were three officers in total, all three held the little girl down and cuffed her. I couldn't believe how insane and stupid this was, three officers had to hold down a small 5 year old child and cuff her. For fuck sake what the hell was that, if you think of excessive force, here you have it.


Well the family's attorney is pressing charges against the St Petersburg's police for "excessive force", any sane person would do so if three officers would do something like so to your little girl. I think that the mother should sue the school as well, they didn't need to call the police for this. Such things like this are handled by the teachers, that's part of their job.


Whatever happened, this should never be allowed to happen. So yes the girl was very upset, but you don't need three or even one police officer to calm a little girl down. Have the teachers gotten so lazy that now they let the police handle such things, I simply don't get how thing could have gotten this bad.
