The school cop who bodily threw a female teen ager across the classroom has been fired from his job.

Sure, the teen was disrespectful toward all concerned. But flipping her desk over and tossing her across the classroom was a criminal act. The teen's family is definitely going to win a very large cash settlement.

Why couldn't the cop merely have dragged the desk with the girl in it out of the classroom into the hallway - or the teacher have continued teaching the class and just not give attention to the girl on the phone?

Best idea would be not to allow students to have their cell phones in school. Some parents say they have to be able to be in touch with their child. When I was in school, if your parents needed you for an important reason, they would call the school and the school office would contact the student.

Anyhow, that cop is gone, unfortunately the school and police get sued, and it just may give other kids ideas of how to get their 15 minutes of fame AND rich.
