The first few paragraphs

Don't make a wrong move," the officer said as he pinned the struggling subject to the ground. "Period."

The officer tightened the handcuffs around the subject's thin wrists.

"Ow, ow, ow, it really hurts," the subject exclaimed.

The officer pressed his weight into the subject's small body while school staff watched it all unfold. The person he was restraining was 7 years old.

"If you, my friend, are not acquainted with the juvenile justice system, you will be very shortly," the officer told the child.

Earlier that day, the child allegedly spit at a teacher. Now, he was in handcuffs and a police officer was saying he could end up in jail.

That child — a second grader with autism at a North Carolina school — was ultimately pinned on the floor for 38 minutes, according to body camera video of the incident. At one point, court records say, the officer put his knee in the child's back.

    "Training Needed"

    Every fucking time. Why yes, we need to allocate more money to these people. If only we could have installed a safety railing in the guard towers and train them to not lean on it. Maybe they could operate a robo-dog from the safety of a control room, so they don't feel threatened by the tiny human, as they deploy taser on the handicapped "ethnic" child "for their own safety", they just need more hours in the simulator so they don't accidentally stops their tiny little hearts. At least until the new Hitler AI can be installed and run the "schools" at 100% efficiency so no brave troops will be harmed.
