Tweet of the Night: Players react to police office brutalizing student in class

Over the past year or so, there have been a countless number of video clips surfacing online that have shown the criminal behavior police officers – of those sworn to protect and serve civilians.

There has been a common theme when it comes to all those videos of cops abusing their powers, and that’s using brute force no matter how senseless it seems. Some have been worse than others, but the bottom line is that none of them have been justifiable. That was the case again on Monday when a disturbing clip was shared by justice writer Shaun King of an officer who treated a young female high school student with absolute brutality. Again, the video below is graphic:

The student was reportedly being arrested for refusing to leave class. Apparently, that kind of defiance is reason enough to be treated like an adult criminal to a cop no matter what the circumstances are.

Presumably, there weren’t as many reactions about the unjust scene from players around the league in an attempt to stay away from a touchy situation (either that or most were too busy gearing up for the start of the NBA season), but some did notice what happened and here is how they reacted:
