Two security guards at an Oakland, California, high school were caught on CCTV using force against a handicapped, special needs student who was entering an elevator. When the student and the security officer appear to argue over control of the student's wheelchair, the incident escalates until the student is dumped from the wheel chair, kicked in the head, dragged into the elevator, and thrown out and spit on after the elevator reached another floor. KTVU.com reports, "'The event was egregious to begin with. There's no excuse for an adult to behave like this in a violent manner,' said Troy Flint, the Oakland Unified School District Spokesman.... He also says that district is taking a hard look at how to restructure their employee training to better train employees to deescalate disputes."
