A South Carolina officer attacks, slams African-American female student to the ground.
Racial tension between police and the African-American community has only increased over the last year. After a video circulated on social media Monday night showing an officer attacking a student, that tension only got worse.

An unnamed African-American female was allegedly disturbing class and was asked to leave, when she refused, a school resource officer was called in to help the situation. As local WIS-TV in South Carolina reported on Oct. 26, the officer only made matters worse.
In a class room in Spring Valley High School in Columbia, S.C., a typical scene of a student acting out apparently took place. When the student refused, the unnamed Caucasian officer entered the room, grabbing the students arm where he proceeded to slam the girl and her desk to the ground. The video was captured by a fellow classmate that also showed the officer putting the student's arms around her back, positioning her to be arrested.
"The student was told she was under arrest for disturbing school and given instructions which she again refused," Sheriff Leon Lott told local WIS-TV. "The video then shows the student resisting and being arrested by the SRO." The officer has since been placed on leave.
I remember several years back of a very similar incident involving a female student being man-handled by cops on a campus. It involved a black female student. I don't believe this story is new at all.
But as for the crux of it all, I think that teacher needs some serious explaining to do as to why they called in the cops in the first place. The cops just went along with what the teacher told them to do and, of course, the cops obliged because they are not there to protect the students at all but the teachers. I think there is more to this story than what the video relays. Start with the teacher and ask them why they called the cops in the first place.
I saw something the other day that 'roid boy could deadlift 900+ lbs and bench press over 600 lbs. I don't believe it, but that's what I recall reading.
This is just incredibly disgusting to read about this same officer in a very similar assault incident involving a pregnant young woman years ago. This guy needs to have his badge removed and gun taken away. He is unfit to serve as a police officer!
And it is interesting that the media never honed in on the teacher who called the cops. Inquiring minds want to know why the teacher called the cop when they could have just easily called in the principal.
