The teen was seeing King's court as part of a visit organized by The Greening of Detroit, a nonprofit environmental group. During the visit, King noticed the girl falling asleep, WXYZ reported.
The fuck is an environmental group doing court tours for?
I hope the family can sue either the court or the org. Just what the hell was the purpose of it?

YOU PLANT PLANTS! THAT'S WHAT YOU DO! What in the just...
"It was her whole attitude and her whole disposition that disturbed me,” the judge told WXYZ.
What the fuck is """disturbing""" about a teenager being bored? that's their default state
She will be rightfully paying back all of the “free lunches” she stole from us hard working tax payers!
Wildly inappropriate and an abuse of power to begin with but
King told WXYZ that he spoke to the girl's parents and offered to be a mentor.
Leave her alone you creep, jesus!
ahaha, wow you’ve really grown since I had you in cuffs. You’re so legally mature for your age… after reading all those case law…
that was the most unbelievable crackertacular offer I've seen in a hot minute
Uh, this is the judge: https://www.36thdistrictcourt.org/about-us/judges/kenneth-j-king
Black folk can be crackers too. Crackery isn't a state of skin, it's a state of mind; that is the final evolution of blatant misleadership. When the misleader mentally metamorphoses from the house slave to the slave owner, from the Stephen Candie to the Calvin Candie.
How else do you think the Sean Carters, Sean Combses, and Beyonce Knowleses of the world ever come to be?
I don't think any appreciable number of people use the word that way, and I don't think that's how it was used here.
King told WXYZ that he spoke to the girl's parents and offered to be a mentor.
The judge wants to abuse her
In Bad Country being disrespectful to a government official lands citizens jail time
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
A lot of judges are former defense attorneys or are otherwise skeptical of the police; they do have their own set of problems, though.
I want to learn more about Cuba's system, where a professional judge sits with two ordinary citizens on longish (a year I think) terms. I think that could cut out a lot of petty tyrant shit like this, and also improve the quality of decisions overall.

"get in the jail cell"
I got kicked out of a court room for the doing the exact same thing when I was in high school. I'm actually surprised I wasn't yelled at by my teachers.
The contempt power of judges is nearly absolute. In some jurisdictions they can put you in jail for 2 days without a hearing at all. In most others they have to give you a hearing, but the same judge presides over it and they can stack 90 day sentences consecutively. You have a right to appeal, but you'll wait out the sentence before the appeal is heard.
Judges also have absolute immunity for actions taking within the job, so the family won't be able to sue him personally.
