It is absolutely no wonder that so many kids feel they are abused by "The Man" when this type of behavior is allowed! This guard should be the one in jail!
'Hear Hear!'
I'll wait to see the video before commenting on this one - Oops just did?
Here is a link to the video of Fox "News", which shows some of the video that a fellow student took:

Unless there is an AWFUL lot of stuff being hidden, I cannot see how the school district can justify any of this. It seems to be the typical "cover your butt" reaction by the school and the security guards.
Even if the girl purposely did a cruddy job picking up the cake, being thrown to a table and having her wrist broken was a tremendous overreaction. Arresting the mom added to this...and according to the Fox story, she also got fired from her job because of this.
I'm thinking of buying a plane ticket and joining the protest....
Something smells fishy here.... I'll withhold judgement until I get the whole story.
After watching acerrubrum's link, all I can say is it will be a long time before this gets resolved. Arrested and charged with littering???
