Body camera video: 6-year-old girl cries, screams for help as Orlando police arrest her at school

18. Not all cops

Many cops are good with kids. And I'm not arguing for being taken away by police. Again, a good staff usually can take care of things, usually acting as a team if one-to-one de-escalation isn't working.

But who do you call, then? Some schools have thin staffing with many problems. I haven't seen this, but my teacher friends tell me that they call the office in such situations and nobody can come help. A police officer can be a needed extra person. These aren't innocent but annoying temper tantrums. Classmates can get hurt, teachers can get hurt, and the violent student can get hurt. I've seen too many run from the schools I was in and into traffic. We were not allowed to go after them.
