Parent Arrested at Common Core Meeting for Speaking Against it (video)

[phill4paul]

There must be another parent involved because the fellow in the pink shirt didn't "assault" anyone in the video I watched...

[edit]

Maybe his shirt isn't pink?

The cop deserved to be struck the minute he laid his hand on the guy, pushing like a kid in the school yard...This is insane!

Perhaps we are reading it wrong and it is second degree insult on an officer for not immediately complying.

I could never tolerate treatment like that guy did.

Some joker grabs my arm and jerks me we're going to blows then and there.

Weren't there any men in that room?

One broad spoke up and another stood up.......Have city males been totally emasculated?

 

[QuickZ06]

Bet the cop got his eduction at that school.

This is what pisses me off more than anything. I mean, thugs are gonna thug, it's their nature. But the mindless zombie sheep that just sit by bleating doing nothing while this brave man is carried off to face ten and a half years in prison, seriously, WTF happened to America? This ain't my America.

No, it's not. If those administrators would have tried to pull that garbage at the small town school I went to they would have been run right out of town. And that officer? Well, he would have had a different fate.

A nation of sheep indeed.

This shit won't stop until people make it stop.

My .02 from the thread in GP on this video..

Threads are now combined, no reason to quote myself..

Sadly it looked like the women in that town have bigger balls than the men...

That whole scene was intolerable to me.

I can't imagine living in a place where there is "security" staff present during meetings at the local school.

There was no police officer there. The guy escorting him out was security. He was never tazed, just pushed around a little. I can hardly even understand what the whole thing was about or the circumstances, but it's definitely not on the same level as "Don't taze me bro!"

EDIT: However, if he was charged for assault, that is certainly egregious. The men in that room should have done something. The parents control the meeting, not the school.

I thought the "security" guy was an off-duty police officer. He did pull out a badge.

A little fuzzy this morning?

A lot of cops do security work when off-duty. He showed a badge, which I am assuming is his police officer badge. Not sure if security can handcuff you, (he pulled those out as well)? The big thing here is when you need security or cops at a school meeting, things are not going the way I would like to see them in a "free country".

Hardly.

I'm grateful for RPF for showing me the light on these kinds of things.

We still have to be prudent and careful in deciding what to do in situations that come up quickly, such as this one.

I honestly can't say that I would have come to this guy's aid. Perhaps the guard was there because this guy had aggitated at other meetings. We don't know for sure.

Having had many years experience with school boards, principals, teachers, curriculums, etc., we found diplomacy to work the best. A couple of years ago several hundred angry high school parents demanded a meeting of the principal and health ed teachers. We got the meeting and the curriculum was changed.

Otherwise, keep your kids out of public school, if possible.

He is. That's why Mr. Small has been charged with "2nd Degree Assault on a Police Officer."

Not according to the police report.

The police report said that Dance's chief of staff, Michele Prumo, who was standing on the side of the auditorium, had asked the officer to walk over and calm Small down. The report also said Small had attempted to push the officer away when he first confronted him.

I'm just saying that I'm not going to come to someone's defense in a situation I'm not completey sure about. And, surely not over public school curriculum. Maybe, hopefully, someday at an abortion clinic.

first they came for the trade-unionists, and I said nothing because I was not a trade-unionist...
