I may be the first to reply, BUT the Police Officer should NOT have been fired. The question is WHO taught the little girl to kid and push people. Probably the Parents. They are the ones that should be reprimanded, NOT the Officer. If anything, being arrested might stick in her mind when she thinks of doing it again. We learn by are mistakes…and she just learned one.

With all due respect and quite frankly from your post, I’m not finding any real reason to afford you with any,
You really need to get a grip!
6 year olds should never be arrested and especially for throwing a fit at school.
Not only should that cop have been fired, he should be sued severely for his actions.
There was no law broken by that six year old as six year olds are not legally responsible for their actions but adult cops are. That is illegal arrest, detainment as well as kidnapping!

@Dane The little brat had been hitting and kicking adults. Clearly she is out of control. Adults who permit this crap have enabled such behavior. They have also made it impossible for school staff to deal with these little hellions. The police are put in situations they should not have to deal with. Arrest might teach the little bratcto behave, but unfortunately, bleeding hearts will most likely result in rewarding her crap thereby enabling further bad behavior.

Obviously, you never had any real dealings with uncontrollable brats, who has no regard for authority. Thx to their parents disregard to the school entreaties. The police department was called, the officer was handling her very gently. The parents are guilty for raising her so badly. Instead of disciplining their child, they feel justified to post the aftermath of her obnoxious behavior. Imagine her behavior as a teenager, if this is how she behaves at six.

I agree the police officer should not have been arrested. It should have been both the parents for not showing their child respect for teachers and the law.

I agree with M, most 6 year old do not do these things to anyone unless they have been raised that way. We need to put God back in our school system. We need to give teachers the ability to teach these children all children right from wrong if they are not learning it at home. We need to take care of these matters not the government. That police man should not have been fired. Please reinstate him now

Unless I missed it, where was the parents?? Usually they are called to the schools to deal with this type of bad behavior.
Alot if children are so out of control these days, it isn’t even funny! Yes maybe he didnt follow the rules, but he handled her gently.
Would libe to know the rest of the story and not just tid bits!

Love the picture associated with this story. They portray her as a little darling cuddling with her mother, when actually, she is a brat in a 6 yr old body. The parents apparently have taught her to have no respect for others or have any manners. Give that officer his job back. In these days, age has no barrier on behavior as kids are becoming trouble makers at earlier ages than ever before.

First off, there are Department Rules and Regulations for arresting juveniles and minor’s. Granted the child was being disruptive in class they usually straighten up once they’ve been engaged by the police. The child should’ve been escorted to the office and the parents notified. At any rate the outcome could have been much different. The Officer(s) I’m sure was disciplined for not following Department Protocol as harsh as it may be. A suspension would’ve sufficed or even a verbal reprimand.

School staff is trained to deal with and handle problematic behaviors and are trained to deescalate children in various situations. All children have an individual behavioral plan to address Their behaviors s well as poor grades. The school believed they needed police assistance to calm her down, ok, when they were there she was calm. The parents should have been called. Why did the teacher/principal allow the child to go alone? Why didn’t an adult go with her? It’s amazing how people are assuming the parents are unresponsive and told her to fight and kick adults. There is no evidence of this. The police officer was nice and gentle however this 6 year old should have not been in handcuffs. Also why isn’t a female officer handling this female child? Unacceptable police and school response.

This reflects Incompetence in school, could not handle and understand the psychology of a 6 years old kid. They should have called parents and psychologist, who could have handled the situation much better. Apparently scars of arrest have ingrained in the brain of the child n she might dread going to school.

All the racist deplorables who approve that cop and his outlandish arrest , are messed up . A Caucasian kid would not have been treated the same way .
Children are different . Autistic children misbehave . Normal ones have bad days like us adults .
All children misbehave .
This entire situation shows a lack of common sense , empathy , and disparities in this American society .
If she was my child , the school would have been bankrupt with a massive Lawsuit against them and all the police department .

Yes…many children misbehave! However, having worked in many schools, I have seen MANY 5-6 year olds who come to school absolutely disrespecting adults as well as other children! They say…YOU can’t tell me what to do! You’re not my mama! Or…I do what I WANT to do! Children need to be taught that there ARE rules, they must respect adults, there is no excuse for hurting other children or adults, and there are consequences! These socialization skills need to be taught at home by parent(s) BEFORE they go to school! Teachers have 20+ other children to keep safe and teach. I feel that the staff probably has dealt with a lot of this kind of disrespectful and disruptive behavior before they got the police involved! The fact that the child cried out “give me a second chance” is an indication that this has worked for her in the past! People who DO NOT work in public or charter schools today…have no idea how much damage a 5-6 year old can achieve while a teacher is trying to do her job! Multiply that by 1-2 children in every single classroom in the school! It happens…no matter what socio-economic level of the school! Entitlement can start REALLY early in children!!! Parents need to PARENT the children they have!

Joe Barley is right. This situation is indicative of what is wrong in this country today; the mentality of the school system appears to be that of “let’t scare this black child and show her white power”.

Sorry! That is TOTALLY NOT the problem!!! It doesn’t matter WHAT color skin the child has!!! It’s the fact that parents are not raising children who respect rules, authority, their parents, and other children! There is more concern that saying “no” to a child and meaning it will damage the child! They are not learning social skills like how to play with others, be compassionate, and how to share! They want what they want and they want it now! If they aren’t happy, they have a tantrum until they get their own way! All of this behavior is color blind! I noticed that it was a black officer and a black child! It doesn’t matter whether or not it was a male or a female officer! The child had been violently assaulting authority at the school! If school staffs have to put up with this kind of behavior…they need hazardous duty pay!!! Most children do not behave this way!!! I think that dedicated teachers get degrees in education because they want to walk into a classroom and teach! Not defend themselves and other children from an out-of-control child! It has nothing to do with a black child and white authority! It happens in ALL schools around the country! Behavior problems affect the safety and quality of education for every other student in the classroom!

Well, the niggeRAT party took over the education system. Thank them, for the deterioration of education. As for the cops, they are just bottom feeders.

the officer was clearly being VERY gentle with her. This was a NEEDED life lesson for the child who at six yrs of age knew what she was doing was wrong. I’m a parent and would like to see the officer re-instated with an apology from the commander and the girls parents.If protocol is needed, I think a retrain of the officer is all that is needed. I hope her parent forgives the officer and realizes the real value of showing the child to respect the law.
