Arrests don't happen as often in the Bay Area compared to the national average, but that doesn't mean it's not a problem for the ones who do get handcuffed in hallways.
"A lot of times the officers can back up, but maybe they're getting pressured by the school staff in the first place, and then it's the officers aren't doing their job," said former Oakland Schools Police Chief Jeffrey Godown after looking at the video. CBS News' analysis of the latest U.S. Department of Education data available from 2017-2018 shows black middle school students are three times as likely to be arrested in school than their white peers.
The referral rate, or more simply,"calls" to law enforcement, in California 72.93 per 10,000 students, was slightly higher than the national average of 65.74 per 10,000. "The police officer, when called, walks into that classroom, he or she automatically has a problem because they're ill equipped. They're not getting the help they need from the school staff. It's a no win for them," said Godown.
