Why are all of the students still in the room in the first place during situations such as the one that went viral?! I am an educator and my school practices deescalation. If a student refuses to leave a room you ask the rest of the class to leave instead. This makes the room a safer place for everyone involved. My school is full of emotionally disturbed students and when they start to have large reactions and many people are around they often become embarrassed and this escalates the situation. By leaving a room full of students exposed to that kind of anger puts them in physical danger. And like you said, if the SRO can't get the student out they are perceived as being weak. Ask the class to leave and you are ensuring the privacy of the student involved, your own privacy and the safety of the class.
