Body camera video: 6-year-old girl cries for help as Florida police arrest her at schoo: link with video
Seriously, a six year old. They throw tantrums and they hit and kick. Its typical behavior of young children who haven't learned to control their emotions yet. Now we're at the point where we call the cops, cuff em, stuff, and then book them at a juvie center, mug shot and fingerprints included (per the article).
The kid is now enrolled at a private school that refuses to have cops on duty.
He was fired, but not because what he did was wrong, but because he didn't follow policy by getting prior approval from a supervisor.Kaia, a first grader at charter school, had a tantrum earlier in the day where she had kicked and punched three school employees, leading to her arrest on a charge of misdemeanor battery, according to her arrest report. However, by the time Turner and another officer approached Kaia to detain, cuff and arrest her, the girl had calmed down, the video shows.
Kaia Rolle was sitting, listening to a school employee read her a story when two officers came in the room to arrest her.
“What are those for?” the 6-year-old girl asked the Orlando police officers.
“They’re for you,” Officer Dennis Turner said about the zip ties, before another officer tightened them around her wrists. Kaia immediately began weeping.
“No ... no, don’t put handcuffs on!” she wailed in body camera footage from the arrest, which Kaia’s family shared with the Orlando Sentinel Monday evening. The arrests of the girl and another 6-year-old at Lucious & Emma Nixon Academy in September drew national headlines and widespread condemnation, leading to the officer’s firing.
