jack D and coke Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Surely the school have to explain themselves at the same time? They allowed this to happen? They called the police? Suppose we don’t know what the kid was doing that the police got called in the first place. Seems a bit OTT though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazio Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Interesting that the officer in question was dismissed for not following proper procedure. I would have though arresting a 6 year old and restraining her with zip ties was more worrying than missing a bit of paperwork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Brown Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Police bodycam footage released on 25 February has captured the moment a visibly distressed child was arrested at her school in Orlando, Florida in September 2019. The six-year-old girl was restrained with zip ties and escorted to a waiting police car after misbehaving in class. Lawyers for her family at Smith and Eulo Law Firm told the BBC that the family chose to release the footage because they wanted to show how the arrest unfolded. The person whose bodycam captured the ordeal was fired after an internal investigation by the Orlando Police Department. Officer Dennis Turner had not followed the correct protocol, which states that a police officer must have their supervisor's approval to arrest any child under the age of 12. Can someone, please explain the last sentence to me. The policeman has been sacked, but the person in the bodycam? he was was also sacked? Policeman seemed quite proud of himself, she's a record breaker, dont ya know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would seem that it's only the guy with the bodycam who's been sacked since he didn't follow the correct procedures either for capturing the video or for distributing it (or possibly both - not entirely clear). It would also appear perfectly OK to go into a school and arrest a 6-year-old pupil, making her absolutely shit scared, pleading through her sobs to be given a second chance. Absolutely sickening on so many levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Brown Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 An excerpt from Sky news. ****ing ridiculous. Ms Kirkland had to collect Kaia from a juvenile detention facility where she was fingerprinted, had her mugshot taken and was charged with battery. The officer involved has now been fired, and an internal investigation has been launched. Police chief Orlando Rolon: "As a grandfather myself, I understand how traumatic this incident was for the children and everyone involved."

The other one actually handing the child should have known better and will no doubt be punished to a lessor degree. Would be interesting to know the colour of the senior officer was.
