Default Police officer uses force to remove girl from classroom in South Carolina

Watch the video. Was he in the wrong?

I guess she got into a fight with another student she was on her phone during class, teacher asked her to stop, she didn't and she refused to leave for disobeying the rules.

What should he have done if this is viewed as using excessive force for a teenage girl? Apparently he is being investigated by the FBI.

Are cops in the US in trouble because of all these videos showing up on YouTube every time they arrest someone? Are they avoiding certain situations because of what the Black Lives Matter movement has created?

Some believe that the BLM movement is giving reasons to youth and others to not fear or listen to the police and in fact defy the police.

I don't know if that is the case, but I found this interesting.

If this was a white girl and black cop would there be as much talk about it? I don't know. Is this a race thing?

I don't think he was in the wrong. The police are supposed to keep order. He removed her after she wouldn't obey the rules.
