And there's no justification for her not obeying if it were such a trival matter to begin with.  Because she disobeyed all forms of athority that were involved, it showed that she was the source of the problem.  And check my previous post.  She was in the wrong.  Period.

Of course she's in the wrong no one saying what this girl did is right. Slamming a child on to the floor and putting other kids in danger (her desk and leg almost flew back and hit the child behind her) is not the way to handle it drag the desk outside if she wont leave. I've seen it done before. There are so many ways to handle this that don't involve viciously throwing this girl around. This cop has been involved in two previous lawsuits already. He goes to court for the second one in January. Keep defending him though.

You talk about not wanting to put more kids in danger yet you say that the girl should have been dragged out the door with the desk???  That colud have put more kids in danger, and it also could have harmed the girl even more.  The longer she stayed in that desk while resisting could have put her more at risk and those around her.  She could have started grabbing other students and desks to prevent her from being dragged into the hallway, for example.  All you're doing is creating hypotheical scenarios to narrowly play out the way YOU want.  It's also called living in a fantasy or a bubble as you will.  No one is saying that another course of action could not have ended better.  But you CANNOT say for certainty that how you though it should have been handled would have ended non-violently.  There is NO WAY you would have known.
