        @marvswife unless that student had a gun in or on their person I see no valid reason for such brutality. This treatment is sick

        Even if the kid did have a gun on their person, there is still no fucking need for that kind of brutality.

        true- I think forceful takedown/tackle & apprehension would but then they go on w brutal kicking/beat

        Considering the situations I've deescalated, I think all instances of police violence should come with automatic non-paid month suspension.

        that would be a significant reprisal. Deescalation works, if given a chance - too many don't

        I've had the cops point guns at me because I was deescalating a situation with a patient. Cops need to learn it's okay to back the fuck off

        The sad part is honestly, deescalation is easy. Just leave your ego at the door and realize the other person is human and you are 90% there

        So it was sent from the parents to @ShaunKing? I am local, no coverage and would think parents would have posted.
