"Shocking moment cop drags terrified school girl, 13, across the floor in handcuffs during school gates brawl" 

Source:  The Sun

This article talks about two school children who were having an argument outside one of their schools when a policeman came and forcefully removed one of the schoolgirls from the situation. Apparently no violence occurred between the two having an argument and family of the victim say that force was completely unnecessary. One witness says "he just drags her like a piece of meat"

I picked this article because most of the stories you hear about police brutality occurs in America and even though this incident wasn't the usual with a black person dying, policeman here in the UK are beginning to act more aggressive. Perhaps we are only being told these situations now and its always been going on and the media have been keeping it hidden this whole time. Maybe the media are slowly beginning to get, us, as the audience to despise the police. If everyone continuously was to hear or experience negative things to do with the police we'd all think negatively of them.

I was reading the comments to this article online and there many people that believe the policeman was just doing his job and that this article is just another way of showing policemen in a bad light.

If you click HERE you can watch the video for this where it shows the policeman picking the handcuffed girl up from the floor who was unable to stand up properly due to the way he was handling her. Obviously we were not there so we don't the situation properly but maybe the girl was violent towards the police officer, maybe she did show signs of resistance and aggressiveness, we don't know because the The Sun has the authority to show us exactly what they want.
