@NedFausa:correctly removed a paragraph that wasn't supported by the citations about behavior while Lovell was a SRO. It might deserve a slight mention, certainly not how it was. Here's the case text for the outcome of the lawsuit by the student; it's notable (to me) that Lovell isn't mentioned in the text (other than being involved); the vast majority of the conduct was by the principal. I don't know if there is more that supports it, but the case outcome seems like the best source. tedder (talk) 18:08, 9 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
That case text is merely a ruling on the dean of students' motion for summary judgment. Basically, he argued that he should be removed from the suit because he wasn't involved in the physical restraint; the court said no, you seem involved enough that it merits proceeding to trial to hash out. The case did eventually go to trial and in 2009, after hearing the girl's lawyer make her case, the judge ultimately granted the dean's motion (i.e., ruling he didn't do anything wrong), and a jury subsequently determined that the two officers did nothing wrong. See ("However, an inquiry to the parties' attorneys revealed that on Aug. 8, 2009, the case proceeded to trial, and at the end of the evidence on Abie's side, the court granted Johnson's motion for judgment as a matter of law. The judge concluded that Abie had not made a sufficient case against him for the jury to find him liable and that, alternatively — now having heard the evidence and assessed it neutrally — Johnson was entitled to qualified immunity. Her claims against the school resource officers proceeded to the jury, which returned a verdict in their favor.") and . 2601:47:4001:E830:81F4:8F4C:C81B:285E (talk) 03:10, 28 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
