To all those on the net who justified the body slam of the female student-the cop got fired!

And my favorite: “great job by the resource officer”

Yahoo! commentators, of course, overwhelmingly think the resource officer did a great job. "A few years ago this would have been normal". I can't imagine where this guy lived that this was "normal"**.

I grew up on a family farm in the ultra-conservative, freaking bible belt as the son of an ex-Marine. Had a cop done something like that to my sister, or probably even one of us sons, my dad would have looked up that cop afterward and turned him into a bloody mess.

And the entire community would have applauded him for it.

That isn't really all that speculative as it actually happened to a violent cop when I was growing up. Twice. Both times happened in the middle of small towns ... and nobody saw a damned thing.


**Of course, I was also in an almost all White county. If we assume the Yahoo! was talking about it being normal treatment of Black kids in certain regions, then their comment rings all too sadly true.
