im a little bit perplexed
does he teach rocket science
No. He teaches discipline to kids who need to learn a little respect, he teaches them that they cannot do or say whatever they want. Something every school needs if you ask me. If the parents wont instill it in them, some joe they start some # with on the streets will.. and I promise you, it wont be nearly as pretty.
Oh you were there? How was it? What did he say exactly? Oh you don't know? So you weren't there? So how do you know the kid provoked him or didn't provoke him? How can you seriously sit there with a logical mind and run it through your head that we can judge based on a video with no sound, with almost no detail about the situation

So he is a thug now hmm?
No, not now. He was a thug the moment he was born melanin rich.
Thug is the new "N" word.
AM radio right wingers use code words. This is not so you do not know what they are saying but so they can deny it. Thug = uppity n*****.

wow... you got all that because there was no audio ?
and the kid was obviously the aggressor because all the security was on him ?
yeeesh
By the way, he could very well have been in admin, or coaching..so its not unthinkable that was his salary, but it is beside the point.

I was astounded to see how many adults in the video allowed the attack to continue.
And I can't believe that I have to say this--but it obviously needs to be said-- It is NEVER okay to lay your hands on another. To make matters worse, the teacher is in a position of authority, and as the ADULT, it was up to him to de-escalate the situation. Instead, he viscously attacked that kid. The teacher is the aggressor here.
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT THE KID SAID--IT'S NOT OKAY FOR A GROWN MAN TO BEAT A CHILD.
Sorry for yelling, but I'm hoping to get through to the dense &/or violent prone posting on here. I hope the mom sues, and I hope the teacher loses his job. Most importantly, though, I hope that the teacher realizes his mistake, and that those dense &/or violent prone on here look deep inside to see why they think that an adult physically attacking a child is okay.

teachers don't get paid 95k.... the other news links say he was the security dean, not a teacher. It was his job to subdue someone who was making violent threats, which was probably the case since the security dean is involved.
The teachers make around 35k. The salary was added in that story to cause public uproar and the position was wrongly cited for the same reason... as well as the audio being left off.
....now you know I'm a fair person, I did support you when you spoke of your niece being sent home for the hoodie incident. I'm well aware of what goes on in inner city schools and in this case, that kid was a danger and was dealt with by the dean of security.

The "teacher" is not the one that used the word thug.
That was white folk.

Oh wait, it's got to be the adult's fault.
How silly of me.
..and did you see a gun or a knife?
The only time the kid started getting violent was when he felt he had no choice, after being pushed into table and slammed around. Almost any human would react in such a manner after being treated that way.

My thoughts exactly. I don't care how much he made or what the kid said what. If he was entering the school without a proper ID yes it's not good for the school but it does not give him the right to grab the child and push him into that table the way he did. He could have called the security guards cleared the room and let them handle it. Someone said he could have been on drugs and it took so many people to bring him down, he just looked very squirmy and non violent until the very end. Anyone who thinks the teacher was right does not have a kid or is okay with teachers grabbing the sh!t out of kids, we pay them to TEACH not put their hands on our kids. If this was my kid I'd be super furious . Wow sorry for the rant but I just can't believe people think its okay. Also kudos to the kid for not being violent and letting the camera catch the truth
