There's no argument you can make that will contradict that. The false equivalencies only serve to show the fundamental lack of basic understanding many of you have, legal authority is supposed to respond with force proportional to the risk the offender faces to the authority and the public. Since she posed none there was no justification, legally, for him to respond as he did. A police chase where civilians are in danger is 100% the polar opposite of someone sitting silently.

No what is concerning is that some people see criticizing the girls actions as some how justifying the cops actions.
What I have seen for the most part is people saying what the cop did was uncalled for and what the girl did was wrong to. It isn't a one is right and one is wrong, both of the people involved were wrong. Both deserve blame for their actions. The cop may deserve more blame and punishment but that shouldn't absolve the girl for her actions. She is very much to blame for creating a needless situation, she was very much in the wrong for not following the teachers and cops requests to leave the desk and classroom.
