“The View” co-host Raven-Symoné is getting the Don Lemon treatment over comments she made on Monday questioning why the girl arrested at Spring Valley HS had a phone in class in the first place.
From The Root:
During Monday’s “After The View” segment of The View, Raven-Symoné made it a point to discuss Ben Fields, the sheriff’s deputy caught on video dragging the female student.
“He was actually sued for false arrest, excessive force and battery in 2007 after a couple accused him of manhandling them. He has a record, and he’s still hired. But at the same time, get off yo’ phone. You are in school, get off yo’ phone. What you doin’ on Instagram?” Raven-Symoné asked.
Keep in mind she also called Fields “berserk” and said “there’s no right or reason for him to be doing this type of harm,” but it’s the comments about the girl not following the rules that has her trending right now:

Isaiah Thomas from the Celtics weighed in:
Raven Symone you do not think before you say certain things smh. Just to think I was a fan of "that so Raven"

Why was he a fan of “That’s So Raven” though? Creepy.

The terror of seeing that Raven-Symoné is trending was only enhanced by seeing why. https://t.co/d69KudSF56?

But this is the best. Thankfully Twitchy regular John Fugelsang is here mansplain things to the problematic co-host:
People, Raven Symone is just saying if Simon Legree murdered Uncle Tom it's probably because Uncle Tom was up to something.

Raven Symone reminds you that if Alderaan didn't want to get blown up they should've just moved out of the Death Star's way.

Raven Symone doesn't want to defend Herod, Pilate and the Pharisees, she just thinks Jesus should've followed the rules.

Her comments start at about the 2:55 mark:
