Texas school police pepper-sprayed, tackled and tasered students
· KRGV (NBC 5)
In Texas, school police have increasingly used physical force against students, raising concerns about their tactics. Incidents involving pepper spray, Tasers, and physical restraint have been documented, with over 2,600 cases reported from January 2022 to December 2025. Many of these confrontations began over minor misbehavior, such as dress-code violations or vaping. Critics argue that the heavy-handed approach has transformed school discipline, often leading to injuries among students. Despite legislation aimed at limiting police involvement in routine discipline, the lack of oversight and accountability has allowed aggressive tactics to persist in schools across the state.
