Pandemic of police and security violence continues unabated






UPDATE: High School Secuity Guards Attack Teen With Camera Then Frame Him

School security guards in Palmdale, CA have been caught on camera assaulting a 16-year-old girl and breaking her arm after she spilled some cake during lunch and left some crumbs on the floor after cleaning it up.

The incident occurred last week at Knight High School in Palmdale and was caught on a cell phone camera by another pupil who was then also assaulted by the security guards.

Watch video of the incident here and here.

The girl, Pleajhai Mervin, told Fox News LA that she was bumped while queuing for lunch and dropped the cake. After being ordered to clean it up and then re-clean the spot three times, she attempted to leave the area out of embarrassment but was jumped on by security who forced her onto a table, breaking her wrist in the process.

Pleajhai also says that the security guard in the picture yelled "hold still nappy-head" at her, which at the time she did not know was a racist comment.




In an even more shocking development the security guards later had the mother of the girl arrested after she sought out an attorney and demanded that the guard be arrested, telling her that if she wanted the guard detained then she herself would also be charged with battery after she allegedly pushed the guard and an assistant principal of the school. She has also been suspended from her job at another school in the county.

The school expelled Pleajhai for five days before then having her arrested for battery and for littering (the dropping of the cake). Then they had the pupil who captured the video arrested along with his sister who was merely present at the scene.

A walkout is planned for this morning by some students, after which the protesters will call for the firing of the main security guard involved.

The incident serves as another unbelievable case in the wave of police brutality sweeping the country. In recent days we have covered multiple incidents of this nature and have compiled them into a page which will no doubt be added to in the months to come.

Commentators have linked the increased cases of brutality with a post 9/11 mentality in America where civil liberties have been totally diminished and the anointed "authorities" simply consider themselves above the law.

Former Reagan government official Paul Craig Roberts, for instance, has succinctly described the mentality as having turned "an epidemic of US police brutality into a pandemic".

The media reports linked above clearly sympathize with the girl and her mother but only because the girl "fully complied with the guards' orders".

What on earth have things come to when children are being physically assaulted and arrested in schools by huge fat thugs 5 times their size for "not complying with orders"?

Police and security officials are being trained that it's OK to beat, torture and taser anyone should they not answer their questions or comply with their every order.

The "security" and well being of citizens is no longer the concern of these moronic hired beefbrains who revel in their false positions of power. Ask yourself, why is the security guy pictured above wearing shades indoors? Because it is part of the gang mentality of these idiots who think its cool to put the fear of life into small kids and then break their bones if they fail to cower like mice when picked upon.

Wow, this guy is a moron unless there was more to the incident than reported.

From the Pix, this wannabe Rambo could have handled it a lot better!:mad:

Apparently her arm was not actually broken, or even fractured. A channel 7 news reporter did a story thursday evening at 11 ish or so. He contacted the hospital doctor(who had permission from the family to release the information) who stated she didn't have any fractures, broken bones, or bruises or scratches. Here is the report http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?se...cal&id=5703026
She and another student who were arrested signed a statement at the time saying they were not injured and did not need medical attention with the arresting officer. The mother was arrested for pushing a teacher (or administrator)who fell, but was thankfully caught by another teacher. Mom was not blameless either. Apparently mom is also under a restraining order from a prior neighbor who she punched in the face three times because he asked her to not let her children climb up on his 7 foot high block fence because he didn't want them to fall and get hurt.

Apparently, there was a lot more to the story. Maybe we shouldn't all be so willing to jump on the bandwagon.

Here is an article on the subject from the Antelope Valley Press. http://www.avpress.com/n/12/1012_s2.hts
