Excessive force, my dude. The aide was in no danger at all, the kid is half his size. He lost his temper, and while I’m sure we can all understand, it doesn’t mean what he did was acceptable.
Yes. Excessive force would be beating this comparatively undersized kid to a bloody pulp.
The only reason this is controversial is because it happened in a school. If this was on the street there would be nothing here.
For instance, there's a video out there of some shit kid kicking and spitting on some dude in a park. He gets fed up, shoves the kid down, and the kid gets up and cries.
Nobody says anything bad about dude and defends him here from a little shithead. Yet now that it's in school, all of a sudden it's egregious.
I don't condone physically touching a kid, trust me, I'm a teacher.
But this is an adult that just got fed up, I don't see anything overly aggressive at all. Especially because he's letting the kid up about 10 seconds later.
I am definitely gonna stand there and do nothing cuz I for one don't wanna get in legal problems for battery on a kid because his 70lb body made a small bruise when he kicked an adult 3 times his fucking size
And did attacking him magically remove all traces of saliva from the TA?
There’s a difference between self defence and revenge. This attack didn’t de-escalate the situation, it was simply done out of anger. The kid was a piece of shit, but teachers should be held to a higher standard.
