^ Protip: Saying "In a post 9/11 world" makes everything 10000 times more important and serious.

Your case has nothing to do with 9/11, Psych.

There's always more to the story. . .
Here are some headlines I see on the yahoo news regarding this:

"School guards break child’s wrist and arrest her for dropping cake"
"School Security Guards Beat Teen over Cake Spill"
"School Guards Accused of Overreacting"
"Black Students Are Being Victimized"

Only one of those headlines even comes close to trying to stay neutral. Nobody is giving the other half of the story except for what I've heard on the radio. Several witnesses, students and staff of the school, called into a radio program I was listening to to tell another side of the story. The cake was not just dropped. There was a full-on CAKE FIGHT!! And the girl wasn't trying to walk away quietly. She was becoming a complete spaz and wouldn't calm down. The guard had to restrain her to get her to stop going crazy. The camera footage only caught the very end. The only video I've seen shows the girl already down on the table. But people jumped to so many conclusions just from the video.

People need to stop reading the story in the news, or especially on a website run by Alex Jones, and think that's the end of it. When the story first broke, I didn't necessarily believe her, nor the guard. I know both sides are going to spin the story to their advantage, and the truth is somewhere in between. He's probably a jerk who overreacted, especially if he actually called her "nappy-headed." And chances are she did some things to provoke the guard. According to the witnesses who called into the radio show, that's exactly what happened. And I don't necessarily believe them either, because they may have their own agendas. But there is a whole lot more going on here than "white pig rentacop beats black girl for no reason."


Here's something you'll probably find in your yahoo news searches over the next few days: The doctor who examined the girl has basically confirmed that:

THE GIRL'S WRIST WAS NOT BROKEN, FRACTURED, OR INJURED IN ANY WAY. He gave her a sling cuz she kept complaining that it hurt.

Here's the link to the ABC7 Los Angeles story:
http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?secti ... id=5703026

"I spoke with her doctor, Albert Amoani, an emergency room physician at Lancaster Community Hospital. He says after treating her there is no medical indication of any injury to her wrist. He says it's normal. "

She's a liar! Why should I believe he called her nappy-headed, or anything else she claims?

WOW. This is a perfect example of things being blown out of proportion.

Of course! You can't sue a school system for millions of dollars unless you have adequate media coverage beforehand.

People always take the student's side in stuff like Don't taze me bro and this. For don't taze me, he shouldn't have been an annoying donkey that uses slang from 2003.

This girl just seems to be craving attention.
