Lawsuit: NYPD routinely arrests students for non-crimes

nypdschoolofficer Lawsuit: NYPD routinely arrests students for non
crimesACLU: Racial element present in creation of 'school-to-prison
pipeline'
A lawsuit filed Wednesday by five students in the New York City school
system against the NYPD paints a picture of school officers who
routinely abuse students and arrest them for non-criminal activities.
The lawsuit (PDF), brought by the American and New York Civil
Liberties Unions on behalf of five students aged 13 to 18, says that
school safety officers "have a long-standing pattern of abuse,
unlawful arrests and excessive force against minority students who
commit even minor infractions like talking back, being late for class
or having a cell phone in school," Courthouse News reports.
"Aggressive policing is stripping thousands of New York City students
of their dignity and disrupting their ability to learn," Donna
Lieberman, executive director of the NYCLU said in a statement.
"Despite mounting evidence of systemic misconduct by police personnel
in the schools, the NYPD refuses to even acknowledge any problems with
its school policing practices. We are confident that the courts will
compel much-needed reform."
One of the plaintiffs in the suit was 11 years old when she says she
was "handcuffed and perp-walked into a police precinct for doing
nothing more than doodling on a desk in erasable ink," a lawyer for
the students said.
Story continues below...
Another plaintiff, identified only as Daija, says she was threatened
by two adult strangers outside her middle school in the Bronx. A
school officer came by and ordered her back into the school, where the
two adults had gone. Fearful of going into the building where the
adults were, she refused. The officer "grabbed Daija by the arm,
handcuffed her, forcefully threw her down and pinned her to the
ground. Daija sat handcuffed at a desk until her mother managed to
find her. No charges were filed against her. Daija required medical
attention as a result of the assault," the ACLU says.
"I feel unsafe at school," said Daija. "I'm afraid that School Safety
Officers could attack me again for no reason. I just want the school
year to be over so I can be a normal kid again. I shouldn't have to be
scared of school."
The ACLU argues that aggressive policing of relatively minor
behavioral problems in schools is contributing to a "school-to-prison
pipeline" that funnels students "out of the public schools and into
the juvenile and criminal justice systems. These children tend to be
disproportionately black and latino, and often have learning
disabilities or histories of poverty, abuse or neglect."
There are some 5,000 NYPD officers patrolling the hallways of New York
City's schools, with some 200 of them armed. Since the NYPD took over
school policing in 1998, "the number of police personnel assigned to
patrol New York City public schools has grown by 73 percent, even
though school crime was declining prior to the 1998 transfer and even
though student enrollment is at its lowest point in over a decade,"
the lawsuit states.
The lawsuit wants to see control over "disciplinary decisions" taken
away from the NYPD and returned to school administrators. It also
requests better training for school officers, noting that they are
given only 14 weeks of training, versus six months for regular
officers. The lawsuit asks the court to mandate a proper process for
dealing with complaints against school officers. According to the
ACLU, 500 complaints yearly are lodged against school officers.
The NYPD said Wednesday it had not seen the lawsuit and could not
comment.

>What Massachusetts Got Right
>
>by Robert Scheer
>
>The president got creamed in Massachusetts. No amount of blaming this disastrous outcome on the weaknesses of the local Democratic candidate or her Republican opponent's strengths can gainsay that fact. Obama's opportunistic search for win-win solutions to our health care concerns and our larger economic problems is leading to a lose-lose outcome for the president and the country.
>
>The two issues that mattered on Election Day were the economy, which Obama has sold out to Wall Street-as quite a few disgruntled voters pointed out-and his plea to save health care reform, which the voters who had backed him for the presidency with a huge majority now spurned. It is significant that it was the voters of Massachusetts who have now derailed the Democrats' efforts to revamp the country's health care system by denying them the necessary 60th vote in the Senate, for these voters know the subject well.
>
>The federal proposal is based on their own state's model requiring people to obtain health insurance without the state doing anything to effectively control costs through an alternative to the private insurance corporations. Lacking a public option, the cost of health care in Massachusetts, already the highest in the nation at the time of the plan's implementation, has spiraled upward. Services have been curtailed, and many, particularly younger people, feel they are being forced to sacrifice to pay for a system that doesn't work.
>
>Instead of blindly following the failed Massachusetts model, Obama should have insisted on an extension of the Medicare program to all who are willing to pay for it. He squandered the opportunity to bring about meaningful health care change that the public would have supported had it been kept simple and just. Instead, Obama gave away the store to medical profiteers. They, in turn, hopelessly muddied the waters with well-funded scare advertising tactics that principled leadership on Obama's part could have thwarted.
>
>A mere seven months ago, The New York Times/ CBS poll found that 72% of Americans "supported a government-administered insurance plan-something like Medicare for those under 65-that would compete for customers with private insurers." Even half of those identified as Republican said they would back such a public plan, as would three out of four independents and 90% of Democrats. Instead of heeding that call by endorsing a serious extension of Medicare, along with increased subsidies for those who could not afford it, Obama played to the conservatives in Congress-and they rolled him.
>
>If he wasn't prepared to make a breakthrough in health care, and that meant a reform program that would begin sooner rather than later, he should have put it on a back burner. The furor over a very unsatisfactory plan drew attention from the far bigger crisis concerning the meltdown of the nation's economy. By accepting and indeed expanding the Bush administration's strategy of throwing money at Wall Street, Obama ceded the populist label to the Tea Party Republicans who now pretend that a banking mess brought about by their radical deregulatory philosophy is not of their making.
>
>It is the economy, stupid, and the sooner Obama grasps that, the better for his and the nation's prospects. A new Wall Street Journal/NBC poll finds that "Americans ranked job creation and economic growth as their clear top priority for the federal government, well above national security and deficit reduction. Health care, Mr. Obama's top domestic priority in 2009, now ranks fourth, closely trailing the deficit and government spending."
>
>Of course, the public is right. In the midst of the worst economic crisis in 70 years, why waste enormous political capital battling to pass a health care plan that is modeled on a proven failure in Massachusetts, as voters there clearly registered? Meanwhile, the president has dropped the ball in the effort to make bankers act responsibly by forcing them to forego outrageous bonuses and help homeowners stay in their homes.
>
>Again quoting the message of that Wall Street Journal/NBC poll: "The president's focus on health care amid heightened job concerns could be hurting his ratings. At the one-year mark of his presidency, 35% of Americans said they were ‘quite' or extremely' confident he had the right priorities to improve the economy, down from 46% at midyear." The Journal noted that a majority disapproved of the government's response to the financial crisis, adding, "The related problem for Mr. Obama is the public's lingering anger about the bailouts of 2008 and 2009, which helped boost bank profits even as unemployment grew-a toxic political problem."
>
>To salvage his presidency, Obama must reverse course and make solving the "toxic political problem" of Wall Street greed that's bankrupting the country his highest priority.
