Sorry I'm going to have to side with the teacher on this one, she couldn't touch the kid without a lawsuit coming her way, I'm sorry, but this is the US and she did the best option.
Theres obviously more that this kid did that what was just on the video. They CALLED THE COPS, its gotta be a pretty freaking serious tantrum to call the cops if the parent was only going to be gone for an hour.
Might as well scare the crap out of her by putting her in cuffs and causing her massive embarassment. I highly doubt the parents have any control over this child.
Being "assertive" is nice in theory, but I'm sorry, not every teacher/student confrontation can be solved so easily.
They should have tossed her in a holding cell for good measure.
