Just wondering for everyone that is saying he went overboard, how would you have dealt with the situation if the girl did not get out of the room?

I don't tend to like inserting myself in situations like this (I think anyone doing something like only end up sounding silly), but given how beyond the pale the officer's reaction was, and my own experience with high school life back in the day, I think I can at least say this:

Inform her she is getting detention or otherwise discipline her. According to witnesses, the class disruption only went as far the girl checking her phone. Even if she were actively texting or being disruptive in some other way, that's no reason to forcibly remove her from the room, ESPECIALLY like this. Unless she was physically assaulting him from her desk, there is absolutely no reason to this sort of violent action. Simply mouthing off to a cop or otherwise not cooperating with him should not allow him to do this.

I mean, that's how my high school handled things. Detention, suspension, things that don't require physical violence for a non-physical offense.
