* Kalika points up
Did i say something bad?
Anyways, Kalika, Did that class agree on anything, when you had that discussion.
Do you remember if any points were agreed upon by everyone.
Possibly the kid being overly tazered?
Oh and <3 Kalika

i said it becasue it seemed to me that kelod had made a remark that wasnt agreed with (or even understood) and you all were still discussing it. there was nothing bad aht i saw but im sensitive and i did feel that people were being stepped on. so i thought that i might repeat KAryuu jsaut in case
Our class was upset with what happened, yes. But we also happened to have an ex-police officer in our class who described the police procedure. Our teacher refused to take a stance becase he would prefer to be the devil's advocate therefore i got to hear a lot of stuff about what the police could possibly be thinking. Doesnt mean i agree, but you seriously have to take into account that profiling does happen quite often, and not every police officer is mentally equipped to deal with that. Also its not jsut the police, its the securty guards that have to be taken into question, the student themself that has to be taken into question, the students around etc....
There were no points "officially" agreed on by the class. We had a big unit on civil disobediance and were more willing to side with the victim though we did take into account the other stuff that was mentioned.
One Persian student happened to mention that this scared him, becase it could happen to him anywhere.
Basically we agreed that the Student in question assumed he was being profilied by the security guards. we agreed that it was procedure (i dont know the details) for them to contact the police regarding the situation. We agreed that the police were not justified in tazering the student. We agreed that the student should have taken into account what could possibly happen BEFORE the police tazered him and he refused to cooperate with them and the security guards. We also discussed the possible reasons for him not cooperating, and the consequences of what could happen to the police.
When i watched the video in class i desperately wanted to bash the police heads into the floor.
i like <3's
sorry for the ranmbling...im going off of a memory
