And saying "They wouldnt have handcuffed her if she were white" is singularily the most ignorant thing I've heard on this board. "That's the way things work in Flordia" is also really dumb. And why do you say the cops would have acted differently if they'd known they were being taped? What did they do wrong from a legal standpoint? Nothing. They didnt strike the child. They didnt injure her. They restrained her, as they would anyone else who was in danger of hurting themselves.

I still have yet to see a single nay-sayer give a logical alternative. What should they have done? Let her hurt other adults? Other children? Herself? Should they have stood there and watched as she physically attacked others? I dont care if she was five. Five year olds can hurt. I've been hit by a five year old before, and it hurts. Especially when they're in the middle of a fit.

So tell me, what should they have done? Any logical conclusions? What should the teachers have done? What should the police have done?

The sad thing is, there isnt a single thing anyone could do in this situation to avoid a lawsuit. If they would have let her hurt someone or herself, they would have been sued. If they restrained her in any way, they would have been sued.
As ignorant as it may sound, thats how i feel. And, no 5 year old can physically hurt an adult. I mean, waht are you, 4' 2' , 69 pounds? Unless your extreamaly small, i dont see how a 5 year old in a fit can hurt an adult.

And Like i said, florida is just like that. Its Racist State, USA. how do i know? ive lived there. And in those small towns and cities, thats just how they treat black people. And they really would have never put a little 5 year old white girl in cuffs.
