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.

      It took me 15 years to realize that I was being sent to the special ed room back in kindergarten at a Catholic school. I just remember one of the nuns beating the everloving shit out of a girl from my class with a yardstick because she was too energetic and apparently our teacher found it disruptive.

      I’m still not sure why the fuck they sent me of all kids down there. That school was awful, and I barely ever spoke to anyone, let alone ran around like a jackass.

    A child spitting at a teacher: Evil, send them to jail forever. Beat them.

    A cop beating and abusing a child: Normal, correct

    My son is on the spectrum and has other issues. There’s no one to turn to when he gets out of hand. I can’t call the police, they will murder him. I can’t call the crisis team because they show up with pigs. There’s no winning. I hate this country.

    Autistics love to use their condition to excuse their deplorable behavior. It’s not the school’s job to coddle spoiled brats who assault teachers. But I suppose that’s an alien concept to entitled autistics who think the world must grind to a halt to hold their narcissistic hands from cradle to grave. Now the little shit is finding out that actions have consequences. And because of his tantrum at being held accountable for his actions, he is probably going to jail. Behave yourself. Comply with orders. It’s that simple.

    “Training Needed”

    Every fucking time. Why yes, we need to allocate more money to these people. If only we could have installed a safety railing in the guard towers and train them to not lean on it. Maybe they could operate a robo-dog from the safety of a control room, so they don’t feel threatened by the tiny human, as they deploy taser on the handicapped “ethnic” child “for their own safety”, they just need more hours in the simulator so they don’t accidentally stops their tiny little hearts. At least until the new Hitler AI can be installed and run the “schools” at 100% efficiency so no brave troops will be harmed.

    If Noah had the benefit of hindsight on his ship he could’ve snatched two unicorns and left behind the motherfucking pigs.
