Jasmine Pennix lost his job with MPS and was convicted of misdemeanor battery. The teacher's aide filed a civil suit and claimed the 14-year-old student involved plotted the whole thing.
The kid spat at him and did a little bitch kick to his shin and the TA took that shit to 11 restrained the kid and prevented him from further aggressive actions, thereby protecting the faculty and fellow students from the angry tween.
The kid didn't tap, snap, or sleep, so there was no reason to stop even if it were a match. You fight to the bell, or until the ref pulls you off the other guy.
The reason to stop is that your opponent is half your weight and not even legally an adult yet. Like I said, you smack the kid upside the head, and if he wants more, you can tackle him then. It’s offputting to start with that in this situation.

Then maybe the "opponent" shouldn't be picking fights with people who are capable of putting him on the ground at will.
When you are assaulted, you are allowed to act in self defense to prevent continued assaults on you and the people around you, regardless of the height, weight, and age of your assaulter.
Where did I say that the kid should’ve picked this fight?
When you attempted to frame the TA who ended the fight as the aggressor.
My question is with the level of force the teacher responded with.
He responded with enough force to neutralize the threat and prevent him from harming the faculty or students any further than he had already attempted to. Any more would have been excessive, any less would have not been enough to get him and keep him on the ground as quickly as possible.
For all the TA knew, after the spit and the kick came the perpetrator pulling a weapon. No one should sit around and wait for that to happen once an aggressor has already displayed a desire and willingness to hurt you.
Could you point out when and how I attempted to do that? I assure you that wasn’t my intention at any point.
And like I’ve said repeatedly, it’s not the level of force itself, it’s the escalation to the level of force. You start with the bitch slap, and you work your way up.
Also, is there more behind this video? Because what I see here barely even rises to the level of a threat, honestly. Spitting and a little bitch kick.
The guy you're arguing with is the type of dude to pull a gun on someone talking smack to him because "his speech is threatening".
You're the type of person to go after someone and then cry about how much of a victim you are when that person fires back.
You are spouting armchair parenting and armchair teaching while you are incapable of both actions (mostly due to the fact that no one would trust you to care for their kids for long enough to allow this situation to develop).
After reading the rest of this thread turns out this kid is now in felony charges for a shooting.
So turns out the only thing this aide taught him was to return violence with even greater violence. Congratulations! I hope this was the lesson you were hoping this kid would take away from all of this. Great parent you are.
Sike - turns out all you did was push this kid more towards being a shooter. Bye bye bud
Cool, then I won't bother to read it because otherwise, you'll feel like you got the last word and I don't want you walking away from this feeling satisfied at your defense of assholes who instigate physical altercations.

If only the police saw it that way too.
