    The incident allegedly occurred after the coach – who also served as a hall monitor – ordered Michael to do pushups because he was horsing around in the hallway, but the teen declined because he had hurt his hand

    Cop mentality. Escalate until someone’s unconscious.

      This sort of power-trip bullshit pisses me off so much. Kid’s “horsing around” in the hallway and it’s your job to keep the hallways calm? Then tell them to stop. Is it a pattern of behavior and they don’t listen? Assign them an official punishment with the power you’ve been given: detention of some kind (probably a lunch detention).

      Trying to make them do pushups? Fuck off, this is school not the fucking army.
