A school cop brutally took down an 11-year-old girl who wasn’t listening to him. Cenk Uygur, Brooke Thomas and Jason Carter discuss on The Young Turks. MORE TYT: Read more here:
"The veteran police officer had already pushed the sixth-grader against a brick wall and shoved her to the ground when he shouted at her to “stop resisting.”
Zachary Christensen, an officer in Farmington, N.M., had the 11-year-old pinned to the pavement. Clad in a pink sweater, she was crying as the officer at her middle school tried to wrestler her into handcuffs.
“I’m not resisting,” she told him. “Get off of me — you’re hurting me.”
At one point, a school administrator asked Christensen to let the student stand up, but he refused.
“Officer Christensen, she is not a threat to yourself or others at this moment,” the school official said. “You are not going to use excessive force to get this done.”
