The first few paragraphs

Don’t make a wrong move," the officer said as he pinned the struggling subject to the ground. “Period.”

The officer tightened the handcuffs around the subject’s thin wrists.

“Ow, ow, ow, it really hurts,” the subject exclaimed.

The officer pressed his weight into the subject’s small body while school staff watched it all unfold. The person he was restraining was 7 years old.

“If you, my friend, are not acquainted with the juvenile justice system, you will be very shortly,” the officer told the child.

Earlier that day, the child allegedly spit at a teacher. Now, he was in handcuffs and a police officer was saying he could end up in jail.

That child — a second grader with autism at a North Carolina school — was ultimately pinned on the floor for 38 minutes, according to body camera video of the incident. At one point, court records say, the officer put his knee in the child’s back.

    The second I didn’t give you the reply you wanted you went and started spam responding to other users hoping to get a reaction. Such a sad loser genuinely. Nobody in real life would agree with you that a seven year old who spits at someone should be held down for 40 minutes with a knee on his back by a fatass loser who beats his wife.

        Are you going to say anything of substance?

        “I think autistic children should be beaten, and also I don’t understand the definition of terrorism” is the only thing you’ve said.

          Nice strawman. Autistic children wouldn’t be “beaten” (face the consequences of their actions) if they didn’t constantly play the victim while terrorizing the community with their tantrums and demands for handouts and special treatment as they play the victim. If you don’t want to be forcibly subdued you should try not assaulting people and then threatening the safety of a peace officer.

          Hopefully jail fixes this little shit, but I doubt it. Autistics usually grow up to be even more entitled than they are in childhood, egged on by enablers like you.
