While the officer used more force than necessary, I'm so sick of every news outlet taking all of these instances and instantly turning them into racial abuse of innocent victims. There is nothing innocent or okay about a high school student refusing to do what a teacher, then a principal, and then a cop tell her to do. She absolutely deserved to be arrested. And as so many of us so often say, NONE OF THIS would've happened had she just followed the instructions of school officials and the officer, all of which were beyond reasonable. As long as people believe that they do not have to obey the law, and that it's somehow their right to disobey police officers, we'll continue to have instances like this, and the media constantly reinforcing this sentiment increases the problem exponentially.
