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.

    A child spitting at a teacher: Evil, send them to jail forever. Beat them.

    A cop beating and abusing a child: Normal, correct

      Excellent pairing for officer-involved spousal abuse, of course

    Irredeemable. What the world needs is for this cop to no longer exist.

    I'm neurodivergent and this shit fucking traumatized me in school, and honestly, not even just the cops in school just cops in general. I really fear the day I'll have to interact with one of these fucking pigs for whatever reason because I honestly expect to get shot or something because I did something "wrong".

    I've said it multiple times but it can't be said enough... Death to America amerikkka

    My son is on the spectrum and has other issues. There's no one to turn to when he gets out of hand. I can't call the police, they will murder him. I can't call the crisis team because they show up with pigs. There's no winning. I hate this country.

    Americans talk all big game about how other countries are 1984 communist authoritarian whatever. Then they got cops in school arresting kids below class five. And mostly targeting disabled or black kids. Just ghoulish. I'm sorry the fact that there cops in schools is just beyond me. I have no words. Death to america.

    I shouldn't have to feel so lucky that I got to go to school without fucking cops everywhere.

    Somebody please correct me if this is wrong, but to my knowledge a "school security officer" has never stopped a single mass shooting, but they have shot and abused kids.

      but they have shot

      good question, i don't recall any reportage on something like that, but it seems likely and could've been hidden beneath layers of obfuscation & neutral cop speak

      but yes x1000 on harassing, abusing, injuring, arresting children. school cops are the most truly vile people

        Oh I know for a fact they've shot students before, I'm pretty sure I posted a story about that on this website a few years back. I was more trying to check my suspicion that they'd never saved anybody.

    As someone who's gone through 12 years of AmeriKKKan public school, it has deeply scarred and traumatized me. I'm autistic too.

      It took me 15 years to realize that I was being sent to the special ed room back in kindergarten at a Catholic school. I just remember one of the nuns beating the everloving shit out of a girl from my class with a yardstick because she was too energetic and apparently our teacher found it disruptive.

      I'm still not sure why the fuck they sent me of all kids down there. That school was awful, and I barely ever spoke to anyone, let alone ran around like a jackass.
