Was it excessive? Yes, because there were alternatives. The class should have been emptied and she could have been taken from the chair much easier.

Take one arm, twist it a little behind her back and she would immediately have let go, heck you don't even need to do that. Grab her hand, push the wrist down just a bit and she'd have been begging for mercy. It's not so much an abuse of power as it was stupid, the actions would have been justifiable on a 200 pound man but on a 16 year old girl you could get her out infinitely easier.

Throwing someone like that was clearly unwarranted, she was on the floor already and he threw her. I get that she brought it upon herself but it was not needed. I don't get tased in the back if I get a parking ticket. The idea that a situation needs to escalate so much is ridiculous, it's a 16 year old girl in a chair, there are other alternatives besides throwing her.
