Update: Classmate of Student Attacked by Cop Said She “Hadn’t Done Anything Wrong�

[Sophb14]

 

As an unnamed Spring Valley High School teen was being thrown from her seat and dragged across the floor by a resource officer, her classmates were looking on in horror. One of those teens told WLTX that he was “scared for his life†during the incident.

According to the student, who witnessed the entire incident, his classmate “hadn’t done anything wrong†and had only taken her phone out for “a quick second.†He says the female student was begging the teacher not to send her to the administrator’s office over the incident.

 

 

An administrator asked the student to leave the class and when the student would not comply, the resource officer was called. When the officer asked “would you move?â€, the female student said, “I haven’t done anything wrong.â€

The student witness also revealed that it all began after the officer said “I’m going to treat you fairly†and the student answered with, “I don’t even know who you are.â€

“That was wrong†said the student who witnessed the incident, adding that “there was no justifiable reason as to why he did that to that girl.â€

“I was scared for my lifeâ€, said the student witness. “He was not protecting me at all.â€

Sheriff to Announce South Carolina Deputy Ben Fields to Be Fired

 

South Carolina authorities will announce Wednesday that Richland County Senior Deputy Ben Fields, the school resource officer who was caught on camera violently flipping a high school student in her classroom, will be relieved of duty, sources told NBC News.

Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott is set to hold a news conference at noon to talk about the internal investigation over the Monday incident at Spring Valley High School in Columbia.

 

Lott said at a news conference Tuesday that the female student, who has not been identified, only suffered a rug burn, although her attorney said on ABC's "Good Morning America" that she "has a cast on her arm, she has neck and back injuries."

[Sone-H]

I hate how people abuse the little power they have, smh

[Your Juan and only]

can't believe people said she deserved, I do believe its wrong to assume something base off a video, but that girl was dragged, it was excessive, she is just a child.

 

 

I still believe SRO are needed in schools but they should also be able to handle teens and realize high schoolers second job is not to listen and be disrespectful.

 

 

I hate how they're using her being in a foster home to feel sorry for her more, like now you care about her being in a foster because of this video where were you before this happened, now you decided to help. I'm sure the school would have been well aware of her situation. Its nice to help her and everything but it seems messed up that they're only helping her now because of what happened to her... just my opinion. 

 

Kind of reminds me of what happened at my old high school a few weeks ago only the SRO had every right to arrest the teens

 

 

An SRO handcuffed two brothers. A video showed him flipping the teen over to handcuff. Everyone sided with teens of how unfair it was for the SRO to do that. This is probably the only time I will say they deserve it because no one bothered to release the part where both teens were beating up the guy, two against one SRO. I know people who work there and people who go there and most of them admitted that the SRO did nothing wrong. Younger brother was in the hallway threatening the life of a student, so was taken to the office by the SRO, the kid started to punch the wall and get angry so he was going to be arrested until the older brother showed up and pushed the SRO then both of them were attacking the guy. The SRO used mase and then the students uploaded the part where he flipped one of them over. It was excessive but can you blame him. The kids went around lying about having spinal cord injury and unable to walk when he was giving a live interview standing up.

 

[Puto]

In the other thread they all said she deserves it because she wasn't listening to the teacher.

 

I wonder where those users are now? Getting body slammed with nobody to defend you and on top of that her family is dead.

 

I really feel for her.

[SHIwol]

I will gladly dirty my hands to kill that guy any day now

    Maybe I see it differently, but if an officer tells you to move and your don't, you set yourself up for that, fighting him doesn't help either. Even if she was innocent, if she had just went along then told her story later nothing more would have happened. Kids are not above the law, and those videos show that they have no respect for the officers. What made the officers in both videos get aggressive so to speak is the fact that the kids tried to hit him

[goldmine]

where are the pigs who said she deserved it without knowing the situation in the other thread now?

 He does not have the right to throw her on the ground with her desk on top of her  and to throw her again across the classroom.

This same cop did this to a army veteran too.

 

He's a piece of shit and anybody who defends him is too end of discussion.

So him breaking her arm is ok then or no?

     If she is resisting the aftermath is a consequence of her actions. Have you ever had to take away a resisting child, what is some of the first things they do; they move around about and cause a mess.

    From the view of the video, it looked like he was trying to carry her out of her seat, but due to her resisting her couldn't control her and the seat, thus she landed backwards. He thew her to get her out of her seat, but noticed when he got her got her out is when things "calmed" down.

     that was the consequence for resisting, what do you think officers are trained to do? I am not happy at the fact she was injured but it could have been avoided if she had gotten out her seat and just left like she was told. In fact had he just walked in there without giving her a warning, I would feel worse but he told her to get up and she didn't.

 

They are law enforcement, and are supposed to be strong enough to handle a noncomplying person; adult or child. I have seen these kinds of things when I was in high school, and they are easily avoided if you just listen and do what they say, they won't get aggressive.

[SUPERultramegaTIGHTPUSSY]

From what I've heard yesterday on CNN during the investigation they had alot of kids saying alot of different statements about the incident. We all know she was asked twice to get out by the teacher and then the principle. We all know teachers are not allowed to touch students in any shape or any manner if she refused to leave in a peaceful manner hence why the officer was involved.

If he shot and killed her ass too you'd still say she was a savage beast who deserved it.

 

You people will defend the police whole heartily until this situation happens to you and I guess you're gonna tell me

 

"Well I should have obeyed then i wouldn't have been man handled"

 

Which is a lie because when it happens to you those thoughts don't go through your mind at all you feel is pain just like the woman police man handled and broke her nose when she literally did nothing wrong and the cameras caught it too but okay let me get on this #bluelivesmatter hype maybe I'll get a go fund me too after beating the shit out of people.

 

Supporting these people seems to pay off.

[campfire]

Some of you are full of shit as usual. She didn't do anything to deserve to be attacked like that.

        I didn't say what the officer did was right, but I can't feel for the girl when she resisted, the aftermath was a consequence of that resistance. She was asked more than once to get out before the officer got there, and once when he showed up.  I have had an officer take me out of class, and because I didn't resist like a child, the worse that happened to me was I got sent to the office (where I had to defend my innocence).

   All the cop seemed to be trying to do is get her out of her seat, first trying to calmly carry her out of her seat, then when she hit the floor, threw her to get her out of the seat, nothing else and nothing more.......after he warned her to get out. Once he got her out of the seat is when things calmed down.

 

    I don't blame the officer for doing his job (should have been a last resort) which was to get her out of the classroom, and if my experience has shown me anything, that means by almost any means. In the last video it was worst because the kids tried to chest up to an officer, then actually fight him, what do you think the aftermath of that is?

Not complying with an order and being peaceful about it does not warrant the abuse and manhandling that the student received. She posed no type of threat to that officer and for him to body slam her in such a manner as if she was a violent individual is sickening.

   I don't think your using the word peace in the rightful spot. If your teacher tells you to get out, and then an officer tell you to get out, your past talk. Their job is to remove you (and teacher can't touch students, only the guards can), and his manner of moving was to (what it looked like) get her out of her seat since she wasn't listening to anyone. If you resist an officer, they are allowed to use force to get the job done. My biggest problem with this is that it could have been avoided, all the injuries she got could have been spared had to left the class like her teacher told her.

 

The only time you don't have to comply without being a baby about it civil disobedience, and if you know anything about that then you would not its not applicable here. She should have gotten out of her seat, which because she didn't is why he had to practically throw like a mad man just to get her out of her seat. Shit could have been avoided.

But the amount of force that was used was excessive. There is no way in hell he needed to do all of that for a teenage girl of her size and stature. He could have easily grabbed her by the arm and escorted her out of the classroom. Tbh I don't even see why the cop was necessary in this case. This was more a school matter than anything. The teacher could have easily just threatened to suspend her or call her parents. The cop was an unnecessary addition.

   I 100% agree, and had I not thought it was only because he was trying to get out of her seat, then I would just write this off as another power hunger officer. He couldn't grab her by the arm because she wasn't getting out of the seat.

 

 

The bold is the most important aspect that I thought no one else took notice of. The teacher could have written her up or like you said suspended her, but once the cop is involved they are just doing thier job.

I feel like the school should take responsibility for their part in this happening but they most likely won't. It is also telling that the officer in question is referred to as "Officer Slam". That should tell you something about how he operates. And how common incidents like this may be within that school. I'm glad we can agree on one thing but I will politely disagree with you on how the cop manhandled the student.

Teenage girls disobeying rules is a typical teenage girl thing. Nobody deserves to be body slammed over that and anybody coming up with excuses for it are scum.
