The arm chair quarterback point of view, the part that is going to be a problem for the agency will be the way he grabbed her. It looks like he picked her up from around the neck. From that type of chair a left arm bar would offer a number of options. I find that walls are useful with single arm escorts!

all a setup against the officer. blind man could see it. always a convenient cell phone camera rolling.....yeah right....

Oh please....that is as biased as you can get.  That is like putting in the daily log that the 'captain was sober today'.  It is all in the wording.  Forced to watch my left hind end.  If that brat would have done what the teacher and every other authority figure asked her to do she would have have gotten her butt thrown out of the classroom.  Whoever wrote that article has a mad on for cops and it is clear that it is very bigoted against that white cop.

That's the way it is, now if Obama had a daughter ????? Blacks still think that we owe them something and I don't owe them Jack Shiite ! Get off your lazy asses and get a job ! If you have a job this is not meant for you. If you want respect you have to give respect and that works both ways. The kid was wrong ! And like I said I would have just walked away and took what ever discipline my chief wanted to deal out but I can guarantee you he would not have gotten fired and if the officer is not fired he is going to be......just the way it is. You cant use brute force on a passive non combative person but you can apply direct pressure to certain points on their body that will make them comply and even cry, but they will do what you want them to at that point. 

[Starrider]

That poor cop.  Now the riots will being naacp will get involved more TV air time to spread more hate OH BROTHER here we go again over a stupid little b_tch that cant direction its not about color but it will be just watch. I'm wondering is obama gonna get involved like always.

Federal civil rights investigation to determine if law was broken during incident captured on camera in which officer drags student from her desk

A South Carolina sheriff says he was appalled by a widely circulated video showing a police officer pulling a female high school student from her desk and dragging her across a classroom.

 

Richland County sheriff Leon Lott said Tuesday he “wanted to throw up” when he saw the video of the incident, which is now under investigation by the Department of Justice and the FBI as well as local police.

 

Lott said at a press conference that his department’s internal investigation should finish swiftly, possibly by Wednesday afternoon. “When I say I’m disturbed, I think you can read between the lines,” he said.

 

Justice Department spokeswoman Dena Iverson said the investigation will look into “the circumstances surrounding the arrest” and determine if federal law was broken.

 

Ben Fields – a sheriff’s deputy – was captured on video on Monday pulling a female high school student from her desk and tossing her to the floor. The video circulated quickly online and was joined by two others showing the same incident, filmed by students in the classroom.

 

Lott said that although the deputy’s actions disturbed him, he didn’t feel race played a role. The president of the South Carolina chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People disagreed. Lonnie Randolph called the officer’s behavior “aggressive and inhumane” and asserted that racism was a factor; the student is black and the officer is white. Randolph called for the officer to be criminally charged. He is currently on unpaid leave, pending the conclusion of the investigation.

 

The incident started, the sheriff said, when the student was caught using her phone in class. The teacher reprimanded her and she talked back to him in a way Lott called disrespectful. An assistant principal then entered the room and told the student to come to the office. When she refused, the administrator called Fields and asked him to remove the student from the class.

 

When she continued to refuse to leave her seat, he told her in the video: “I’ll make you.” He then wrapped his arm around her neck, flipped her desk backward, and dragged her across the floor. He arrested her and another female student who tried to intervene.

 

“I don’t think it’s proper to respond to students as if they are being arrested,” Randolph, the NAACP president, said. “For what? For what?”

 

A spokeswoman for the school district, Libby Roof, said on Monday night that the administration was “deeply concerned”.

 

“We are investigating it, along with the sheriff’s office,” she said.

 

According to a classmate, the student in question had peeked at her cellphone during class. When the teacher tried to take the phone away, the student refused to hand it over, and when a school administrator told her to leave the class, she stayed at her desk, which is when Fields was summoned.

 

Officials said the confrontation at Spring Valley high school in Columbia occurred on Monday after the student refused the officer’s order to leave the classroom for being disruptive.

 

The sheriff’s department has placed Fields on administrative leave while it investigates the case.

 

The county sheriff’s office had requested a federal investigation. The federal probe will include the FBI, the Justice Department’s civil rights division and the US attorney’s office in South Carolina.

Back in the day...a parent would have been called rather than a police officer...and some one would have been disciplined...likely in front of the class by mama or daddy...never to make that mistake again...fact is this is still a child...not a hardened criminal...not a terrorist...a little girl who was treated for all the world to see worse than any child should EVER be treated IMHO

[skrappyone]

If she would have listened to the teacher and/or the officer, none of this would have happened.  They also found video of her hitting the police officer.  This was not the first time the officer has had to deal with this student, but that never hits the news.  They should check to see how much trouble she has been in prior to this incident.  Yes, the officer could have handled it a little different, but the bottom line is, nobody respects authority anymore.  Laws have given too many rights to criminals and taken away the powers of the police.  Everything that happens anymore is said to be race related and abuse.  I wish they would abolish the civil rights groups and make the people doing wrong be punished like they should be.  Parents need to teach their kids to respect authority.  Now days, I truly believe, that parents teach their kids to act like this in hopes of winning a monetary settlement. We have made it too easy to do this.

[Shabibilicious]

I'm thinking he should have just grabbed the back of her chair and dragged her into the hallway and shut the door........Embarrassment is a powerful teaching tool.

Parents should have been called in to view the rebellious child.  Then the rebellious child should have be expelled for a week.  A new rule needs to be established for all schools:  NO CELL PHONES USE IN ANY CLASS.  

 

If the young girl is  not going to comply with the requests of the teachers and school authorities, then she should be dismissed from school entirely.  

 

Harsh?  Not at all.  When people act stupid you treat them as stupid (child or adult).  We have a great many people who are trying to be "bad" thinking "being bad" is a good thing, rebellion is smart, and violence is the way to get one's point across.  We have a whole society bent on glorifying evil as good, violence as a means to win, and disrespect as a badge of honor.  As long as we continue to allowing our children to do anything they want without regard for other's rights, permit them to act with violence to gain an advantage or win a disagreement, then we will have fighting in the hallways of the schools, shootings in the streets will continue, and violence in the family will be the norm.  

We need to get real with raising out children, but we also need to get real about how we live life as adults.

Someone get the whimp a barf bag.

This poster keeps bringing these misinterpreted articles that he believes in/encourages division and hate. 

 

Your telling us that this person does no wrong doing, that they are the victim, when with evidence right in front of you this individual purposely disobey the authorities, not one, but several.  That its okay to act with a conscience of wrong doings, because the media will come to their rescue, naacp and Sharpton, Jackson or whoever. 

 

By the laws of the land, you disobey the law you will suffer the outcome.  She deserved her outcome. 

 

You bring wrong information of how blacks feels toward fellow Americans.  There are just a few bad apples, but just in case you don't know, there are hundreds of good apples that are willing to shame you for doing this to their people. You contribute to their enslavement. You hold them down from advancing in life. You are know better then their own people that hold them down. You think your doing good...but really think about it, are you!!!  Does your articles bring unity or division. 

 

I will now boycott your articles of division and hate.  I add prayers in your direction. 

 

Deep uhhh, but you'll never knowYou lean on the media for your misinformed information, your source is sour.
