Child dragged off bus; child who shot video expelled off bus

Screen shot from video shot by Jamari Pointer

This has been a rough week in race relations in the U.S. 

First, Starbucks.

Then Theta Tau.

Next: child dragged off school bus, and child who shot video was punished by school officials.

So glad the man who dragged child didn’t have a gun!

Thank God for cellphone cameras and for kid videographers like 10-year old Jamari Pointer who was courageous enough to record history during a very traumatic experience! He deserves an award, and all the children on that bus should be given psychological evaluations and trauma treatment.

School bus full of children, traumatized by incident and in need of counseling

While a teacher, I followed our local school district's policy to collect student's cellphones if they were using them in class, but now I think all students should have cellphones or some means of recording bad behavior by school officials. Parents now need to educate children of their rights and teach them how to protect themselves from adults at school.

Police start audio and dash cam recorders at beginning of traffic stops. Citizens should be recording, too.
