Maybe they were just hungry?

Bah, when I was in middle school, they would line us up in the hallways, douse us with pepper spray, and we called that lunch. Kids today....geez

doglover: LavenderWolf: They don't just pepperspray you in military training, either.

But I doubt it would make you softer.

The Spartans used to whip their kids to the ground routinely to see who was the toughest. They did worse also.

They'd have probably paid handsomely for pepper spray to use in training.

Yeah, we should totally base our society on an ancient warmongering fascist city-state notorious for child abuse!

If you're trying to get a population to accept having their heads kicked in by security forces you gotta start working on them while they're young.

Just came to thank subby for the proper use of too, to, and their. Pepper spray worked wonders for subby's education.

Superintendent Jerry Payne confirmed a school resource officer did spray and said he did it to force students inside classrooms. Payne said the students took too long to get to class, so the officer pointed the spray toward the ground, not at students.

Oh ok then. Using chemical weapons in a middle school as a tardiness enforcement tool is probably a-ok in this sense.

Treat kids like prisoners, act surprised when they act like them. USA USA USA

Crunch61: I can't believe people feel the need to have police in our middle schools in the first place.

Those for-profit juvie prisons aren't going to fill themselves you know..

taurusowner: chaddsfarkprefect: I'm confident I know all the information, let alone enough, to judge this situation, simply in these few paragraphs FTFA.

You're trolling, but just to get it out of the way; I can't think of a single situation where using OC against a hall full of tardy middle school kids would be justified on the Force Continuum. Even from the scant facts available, it sounds like a firing at a bare minimum is warranted. More than a few criminal charges also come to mind.

Since unpopular viewpoints have become trolling, I'll growl on that this cop is not omniscient and admits to only knowing scant facts but still makes a judgement. Some might say he's acting "stupidly."

/Taurus is an underrated weapon

Three weeks of paid administrative leave and reassignment to an elementary school. When a cop screws up, they just need a vacation. It's the way they roll.

Meh, we kind of do know enough to say that this school resource officer has no business holding that job. The principle says he deliberately discharged chemical weapons inside of a crowded middle school hallway to "force kids into the classrooms".

I get the whole "don't rush to judgement guys!" angle, but save it for shiat like the Trayvon Martin trainwreck.

chaddsfarkprefect: /Taurus is an underrated weapon

Too big for a 9mm.

baronbloodbath: This guy is dumb for using pepper spray inside. I get that.

Any cop with half a brain, especially if kids had to go to the ER, would have claimed "accidental discharge".

Can't the teachers (the male ones, at least) claim the same thing when they get caught with a student?

"Resource officer"? What is that, an Orwellian abuse of language for a 'security guard'?

Line up the lawers cause some one is getting sued.
Namely the school system. Hell of a way to pay for educating the crotch fruit.

LAWYERS Goddamd public school ed........................

Gyrfalcon: I dunno, middle school kids could use a shot of pepper spray six or eight times a day just to keep the hormones down.

in a more serious vein, WHY would anyone have pepper spray in a MIDDLE SCHOOL? Unless you work for the Youth Authority and it's part of your regular uniform.

No need for pepper spray. The "resource officer" should have simply formed a squad of some of the larger students and equipped them with clubs. Perhaps they could all wear some sort of uniform - perhaps brown shirts - to signify their authoritah.

Aren't they are simply doing what any good school does and preparing them for adulthood?
Move along, Citizen.

"Why would you need pepper spray?"

"Well I'm absolutely not permitted to carry a gun on premises, and this environment can turn deadly at a moments' notice. It's why I'm here in the first place. My job is to protect these students and foster a safe learning environment where they can all maximize their potential."

"And why did you USE the pepper spray?"

"Because them farking disrespectful dicks didn't move when I told em to!"

"And you wonder why people call you Officer Cock-knuckle?"

"I do wonder that. Yes."

Was is bear mace? Real hallway monitors use bear mace, not that pussy stuff the cops have.

Yeah. Counts as a vegetable. Like ketchup.

DrBenway: FTA:

Oh. The junior high school students were taking too long getting to class. And after all, he didn't actually point it at the students. He merely pointed it at the ground. Clearly, this was a perfectly reasonable response and was totally justified then. Pepper spray as motivational tool. How... resourceful.

Yep, it sounds like Superintendent Payne needs to go the same way as the Resource Officer ... out the door with a pink slip in hand.

"The school resource officer is unnecessary because he easily could have killed us."

What do you need to understand pepper spraying children is wrong? a thesis?

jackass

I know enough information to jabber about it on a useless messageboard, yes.

I hate frivolous lawsuits against school districts. That said, I hope these families sue biggly. Perhaps then someone will make a rule about pepper spray in a school. Hell, unless a kid is running the halls killing at random, what could possibly be the justification for this?

Why is he not in jail? Seems like assault to me. He attacked children with a potentially deadly weapon. Many of the students he hit didn't do anything wrong at all but where hospitalized because of his actions. Is the school/police force paying for that? This is not the richest community after all.

Hero.

If a direct spray is ok against peaceful, sitting protesters that won't move, indirect spray against school children is fine too.

//get a job, kids

Amateurs. Anyone who went to middle/high school in the late 60's/early 70's got maced in the hallways.

CS/CN > pepper spray.

What's the difference between prison, and schools in the 2010's?


Nothing.

The appropriate way to fight back is to sue. I wonder if there's video of the incident.

No need to worry its crime bluff. You get sued for getting run over by a car.
