The state of our corruption is strong - “Judge” overturns teacher’s conviction for assaulting child on video (employment, attorney)

[MJJersey]

This is what politically connected teachers get in NJ. There is a video of the teacher clearly, unequivocally, intentionally knocking a kid off his chair. She was convicted and lost her public employment privilege but another judge overturned her conviction and said she was stabilizing the chair. Watch the video:

Who thinks she was stabilizing the chair? This garbage in the Soprano State is what we deal with regularly.

She should have been fired for that. Kid could have smashed his head open and she obviously meant to knock him over.

However, considering what police get away with in my area, this pales in comparison. You are literally allowed to shoot unarmed people, while intoxicated and off duty, in a road rage incident. No charges filed by a neighboring jurisdiction as an act of "professional courtesy", and you get to keep your job for 3 years after the shooting. Piece of garbage probably kept his pension too.

Attorney: Police shooting of cabbie unjustified

It's 'plausible' this judge is an idiot!

She wasn't stabilizing the chair. The kid was leaning way back in it, she walked over and helped him complete his fall that he would soon take with her or without her. Kids do this all the time to each other. Adults should know better. I understand she may have thought that she was teaching him a lesson, but if he got hurt because of what she did, it absolutely should not have been overturned. I don't consider it "assault", however. She didn't even touch him. She should have been charged under something else...whatever else there is that makes more sense than "assault". To most people, "assault" means she hit him. She didn't.
