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. The video began circulating throughout social media, mostly on Facebook and Twitter, where outrage and debate over proper police procedure took place. While many have hopes that the tension between African-Americans and the police community will star to cool down, incidents like the one in Spring Valley High School shows there's a lot of work to do.Spring Valley High School’s ‘Incredible Hulk’ — Deputy Ben Fields — has history of alleged misconduct and racial bias

Oh, goody! 16 seconds of the confrontation. What happened in the five minutes leading up to this?
Not the first time this badged thug has pulled this shit.
Her parents should have beat her more. Then she wouldn't be such a dumb ass that needs to be arrested. She will be a loser in life.
I have to wonder why this thug was a cop in a school, given his past. On October 24, 2005, Carlos Martin was returning home from work at the Moncrief Army Community Hospital at Fort Jackson when he saw Deputy Fields driving his patrol car in the parking lot. Responding to a noise complaint, Fields confronted Martin for playing the music in his car too loud and asked if he was the reason for the complaint. As Martin explained that he had just got home from work and had not been there long enough to cause the complaint, Fields apparently snapped when Martin referred to him as “dude.” After slamming Martin to the ground, Fields began kicking him and emptying an entire canister of pepper spray into the soldier’s face. While witnessing the assault, Martin’s then-wife, Tashiana Rogers, ran into the parking lot and began taking photos of the crazed deputy attacking a restrained soldier wearing fatigues. Ordering his partner to “get her black ass,” Fields had the couple arrested and seized her cellphone before deleting the pictures.
Different subject.
Is This What Happens ‘When Steroids, Racism and a Badge Mix’? By now you’ve probably heard the theory that Deputy Ben Fields was on steroids – “roid raging” – when he attacked a teenage girl in her math class. Far from a polemic attack, Fields is well known for his heavy lifting at his local South Carolina gym. While no one is going to be able to confirm his steroid use, we did speak with some people who have given us insight into the deputy’s probable abuse of regulate hormones. It was over a year ago that we were contacted by a member of law enforcement within the Beavercreek Police Department in Ohio. Beavercreek was where John Crawford had been gunned down, just over a year ago. Amidst protests and marches – demanding “Justice for John Crawford” – a member of our journalism team put us in touch with a local contact who works within the department. You can read all about that here. That source also had something to say about steroid abuse in local Ohio departments. “Everyone’s on it,” we were told. “Everyone you see who seems a little too aggressive, and is in good shape – they’re using.” We inquired about the source of the gear, “is this stolen out of the evidence locker, or something?” “It can be in some departments,” they informed us. “But here, if someone is using, they probably just buy from the same connections that everyone else does. But if we’re talking about a detective or someone who can get away with it, it could be” from the evidence locker. We checked back in today with this source and asked about Deputy Fields. “Do you think he was using?” “There’s no question,” our source commented. “He exhibits all the signs of someone who not only juices, but probably uses way more than he needs to.” “So you would call him a steroid abuser?” we asked. “In my personal opinion, he displays all of the signs of steroid abuse,” was the answer we received.
While no one is going to be able to confirm his steroid use,

Who is this anonymous source? Your article contradicts itself. You have no proof. Your whole life is about what did the cops do today. You see crimes where there are none much of the time. Yes you also post some things that are legitiamate also. Have a nice day.
He is never going to acknowledge the truth. He will call you a cop sucker or government lackey(god knows im neither) He really should be punished for posting propaganda on a constant bases. Its been nothing more than posting lie after lie. I really hate censoring but what he post is pure distortions of the truth.
Neither he nor all the other cop haters. They did their job. The first video is out there, and that was their goal.
