In reply to the discussion: If the Student was a White Female nobody would try to defend the Cop Slamming her [View all]Midnight Writer
(25,549 posts)21. Another student claimed she was doing something with her cell phone
The teacher demanded that she surrender her phone. The student refused. Escalated from there until cop was called in.
By the way, the girl is still facing criminal charges. Also, another black girl student in the class at the time jumped up after the cop threw the girl and yelled at the teacher and cop. She was also cuffed, arrested and is facing charges.
A fellow student said the girl with the cell phone was quiet, shy and not disrupting the class, but she was receiving a message over her phone and refused to give the phone to the teacher, and then refused to leave the classroom.
