here's a portion of your daily thin blue line series and there is a video at the link should you wish for more fun;
A school police officer is under investigation this week after a
video was published online, showing him grabbing a small teen girl, half
his size, and slamming her into the ground. The video, which was taken
on Friday, has since gone viral.
According to police, the video shows the aftermath of an incident
that unfolded on Friday at Cedar Ridge High School. Police said the girl
in the video was seen in a separate video fighting with another student
on a bus.
In that separate video, the fight is broken up by the assistant principal without issue.
As the video below shows, however, there did not appear to be any
fighting going on when the officer grabbed the girl around her neck and
slammed her into the concrete. While the girl certainly deserved to be
disciplined for what the video on the bus shows, the officer’s use of
force appeared to be entirely over the top.
Deborah Fowler, the executive director at the Austin-based nonprofit
Texas Appleseed, a group that promotes social and economic justice for
all Texans, agrees.
“From the video, it’s very hard to see what the justification might
have been for taking the student down to the ground the way that she
was,” Fowler told WALB.
After the officer slammed the girl to the ground, she was then taken
into custody for the incident which took place on the bus earlier.
After the video began to go viral, the school’s principal released a
statement saying, “My administrative team, along with district leaders,
is working with Round Rock police to fully review the situation, what
led up to it and how it was handled.”
The Round Rock police department also responded to the video, noting that the officer’s use of force will face scrutiny...........https://fromthetrenchesworldreport.com/cop-grabs-small-school-girl-around-her-neck-slams-her-into-the-concrete/243313
