And i couldnt believe this was happening. Ive never seen it like that in my life like a me that much force on little girl, a big man like 300 pounds, a muscle. By no way, no way like you can do that. No little girl. Thats shamefully shopping video is reprehensible shocking confrontation witnessed by a classroom full of students. Deals do not follow proper trainings and not follow proper procedure. And approximately 20 minutes ago. Still resource. Also, the entails was terminated from the Richmond County sheriff. Students in several classrooms walked out, showing their support for a former School Resource officer. Ben deals, he was a great guy like he protected us and everything like he was a resource officer from apparently were, were, and teachers that friend bring back the old one. Others were chancing fryfield last year feels received an honor for being an exceptional role model. Police officer lost his job for doing his job. Its high time we started addressing the root cause of all that the disrespect to teachers as black live matter movement. This incident started with a, a disruptive student student was not allowing a teacher to teach and was not allowing the students to learn. This is ridiculous. The people are going to say that the cop is in the wrong doing. Were dealing with the generation of kids who do not respect a far this is an absolute ticket and our which is exactly what many in our country would like to know. You know how it is even, even youre just saying that has people say, you know, we dont care, i dont care. I mean, you can, the problem of violence in School Officers is not a new problem. This was the moments that documented those complaint the monday morning actually wasnt going to go to school there. The know i saw him just talking to her whispering her and initially, you know, i didnt think it was a problem because i knew that she was just this quiet student in the class. So i teach a piece of his phone and i kind of hear me say, i need someone escorted out of my class. I was like, what did you do . What can happen that getting you kicked out of class. He didnt disrupt the class, so we had no idea what was going on to your him saying that hes gonna call a deputy and i was the only one who could see the door. So soon as i saw fields outside the door outside, its field outside, you know, get your cameras, get your cameras. Cuz she still sitting there like i guess i encourage the kids to figure out the cameras with the as new that something to go, you know, from 0 to a 100 and definitely d, the whole time she still quite, you know, she lived out once. Now once they took her out, he came back and he kind of like extended there and kind of scaled the classroom, like where you see, he says Something Like, you have so much to say youre coming to they took us downstairs and we sat there for about an hour and a half times before a petty wagon came and got me in i was taken off to jail, ray or jail the in the as a lot of time to be, you know, in handcuffs to sit down and quiet rooms. I was just by how quickly led me to rest to find for that, you know, theyre leaving to go to jail right now, so i can never come back and never come back to school. Im never come back. The, i think this incident is, it was sort of of so many dynamics that are relevant in this moment. As a white person, im going to ask the white people to try to killer lens on im just going to ask you to grapple with it. This land is white being raised as a white person in this society. I was not raised to see myself in racial terms, but whiteness as a race. It is a position in the world into 2nd check killer world view and view point. How has being white shape, how you experience the world . How does that shape tiered perspective on this incident . The usually the forces never predict. It looks ugly. It looks bad. Its hard, but necessary it tops people never got to change your mind so people will never change their minds about the video. They think i was wrong, and thats it. So she will think i was absolutely right and thats it. But i dont, i cant get into that so much. I think what we get into what i want to get into more is this halo were trying to certain ways Police Officers were trying to deal with tough situations. Were trying to follow the law and force the law. And then we have a use of force continuum that we go by. We have to stay with it. And i notice that someone looks the Police Officer and says here is Law Enforcement that its worth. Clearly attacking, abusing power air force and other other as close as this is whats wrong with probably behave on discipline, like children, to very different perceptions which i believe comes from a historical perspective. What is the relation between black people and Police Officers . An important to note that this is not the 1st time this officer has been accused of excessive force. Army veteran, carlos marcus, as he recognized been, feels the instant he saw that video because beals treated him the exact same way. He says, 10 years ago when he did for me, you started making all these personal comments which is already documented. Unfortunately. Brandon is racial comments . Correct . Are you fighting what it all was right on the ground . As you can see, protecting myself. I think thats public record. I believe. Um, as far as that goes, um but yeah, id, id been accused before of excessive force. Yes. Which, which was the lawsuit which i found in my favor, then obviously the that the s and 410 that we acknowledge that there were 2 chief complaints that happened once before Spring Valley ever had the office of civil rights within the department, juvenile justice, received 2 chief complaints in may of 2015. The 1st complaint was that the federal program at the Richmond County Sheriff Department were arresting African American students and a disproportionate rate. 88 percent of our arrest or African American students, you ask any 1 . 80 percent majority or rest asking american, you can look at the present system and, and tell that thats not a new story. Its not a new narrative, but it now filters into the school. The 2nd complaint was that we were engaging with students who have a disability from it on inform position. We did not have a policy in place on how School Resource officer should deal with students with disabilities visible and unseen disabilities. The place like columbia law and order is a core value. You know, the idea that there is respect for authority that there is a way things are done and not done. That is a deep value at the same time. Its also the case that in the south politicians used to talk about segregation forever. And when, when that became outlaws, they Start Talking about law and order a lot more. The amendment keeps in brooklyn. I saw the video of my being interviewed after shes been released from jail and it has kind of what made you stand up and thats for my whole life change because heres a child is saying, nobody else has no staff, this child and im like what . And then i got enough courage actually watched the video was the crowd all night. I was angry. Im a member of black lives matter, new york city, my peace with health and wellness and like care. This is visual, what weve been talking about. A girl got physically assaulted. 2 girls were arrested. Oh wait a minute. You got a criminal charges. These are 2 girls. The 2nd it was just a snapshot of, you know, and that was a bad snapshot of, of things that we do every day that are good. And that was just a bad snapshot. So i think South Carolina is probably head of other places because of the relationship that we had within the community where they trust that Law Enforcement was going to do the right thing. Now we didnt have riots, we didnt have major protests. We didnt have, we didnt have problems over and we havent had people from the house side is of main intent was to come in and spread hate and violence we, we didnt laugh last time. We. Its not law force, best community did not allow them to come in the what is part of the is it that the employee would post that isnt the defense you of us and that in the word or is it something deeper, more complex might be present . There, lets stop without felicias desktop out of the the, the analysis. But they, thats the tv is it that then you can put them in. So facade, indeed, let me put that in my head, that he would do it assuming that the, to look into intermedia. Nikoto is the dimensions of the photo from seeing send the most of the, to the, the most. And the young the video focused everyones attention on the success of force. But we cant forget what brought that officer into that classroom. He was there in forcing a law that made it a crime to quote, disturb schools in any way. That means any disturbance that any kid causes in school is across the board of the law comes from the original intent was to control young people. The very, very original version of South Carolinas law was a log ins flirting. And it was written 1919. And it was because the state lawmaker was concerned by the amount of flirting he saw going on your Womens Colleges, white Womens College and his jurisdiction the and then it was in the late ninetys sixtys that, that law was expanded to apply to all schools. Not just girls and women schools in the late 1960. So what do you know, what was going on that, you know, not a coincidence. Kids were protesting to be an armoire. Kids were protesting civil rights violations. And it was oddly like, there was violence and it was a very scary time for many, many people. So this was very much an attempt by lawmakers and educators to find more tools. So were, thats always used more tools to control kids at a time when the status quo was really threatened. And in that case, it was designed to be used against outside agitators for the phrase that was always used. And in fact, when it was used against was, you know, tens of thousands of kids at the schools, they were not outside years and district, fortunately, kids of color in the 19 ninetys, this law started being used all the time to run Something Else, which is student misbehavior and you got to a point where i dont know, i think since 2000, Something Like 30000 kids were charged with disturbing schools in South Carolina. They used to the, the Service Schools law was a home phone. But yet law for fun with structural barnes. And so we, we were utilizing that law as a blanket law to uh, to, to deal with. Uh, uh, sco house conflict. The one that i was thinking about. Okay. I mean, now opened up plus marketing and im just gonna keep a clear idea of what happened and how to avoid it. Hard to switch to the went better over the morning. I was getting dress going. All right, sorry, because the night before i was up all night i couldnt sleep and i was just had a lot of things on my mind. What school i went to my resource teacher class cuz i was just checking more everyone might so she knows that im at school. She said, how are you doing that . So i was not a little bit stressed out and have some problems with my mom. I went to english that morning, then after i got to that class, i went to the math teacher. He was going over some stuff. I know this not to be a good day because i dont understand math without a test. I went to him and i was like, can you call our resource teacher and see if i can go to her class so i can get some help because i know youre going to stay here today. I took it upon myself and i said, okay, hes not going to ask for it and ill ask myself. So i got on my computer and i was trying to see her e mail and pick up close me out of the app because he had his wifes computer that he can control whatever were doing on ours. And i say, why dont you calls me out . Just like its not appropriate for class, i dont want to send her email. So i tried to get back on the can me call my chromebook. If i ask for help the call number associated, heres a pasta. Find out in the ip now heres the cost and let me go down. There are the i handed up tests and i started it and i was like, i dont know, i understand. So im not, im not even going to try and ill just put down at house like someone else or whatever. And he came in new beside me. He said, why are you not taking the test . I said, because i dont understand that and he wont let me go to my Research Teacher for then i kept talking now and i was like, head down like this. This one i knew that he came to sit beside me so he was like im your phone. I was like what phone to come from. The one you have your hands. I dont have a phone. He thumbs up too. So im not gonna ask you again. I said i still have phone his okay. Take this and go know like what is this . Oh, im right you up cuz you want to be just your best one. Not put your phone away. Oh, so i but im not gone cuz i didnt do anything you can to send me out a classroom for some, assuming that i have a phone so misunderstood. The teacher has a choice about what to do. Does he say, are you know, my cellphone policy . I already asked you once youve now got it and then left it there and dealt with it after class, so it didnt disrupt everybody else for that box. Or does it call the assistant principal in as rebecca. Then youve got a similar set of questions and discretion that the assistant principal called the assistant principal. And yeah, whats the problem . Why not put the phone up outside . Because i dont have a phone, you can ask anybody, i dont have the phone. So. Okay, well i need you to come with me and do that. I dont think i should have sent me a classroom for not doing anything. Let me see the principal decides to call in the row and this is to my lawyer brain. Thats the really big choice because thats making the s r o b enforcer to school. This freight cars behavior is more disruptive. Bringing the officer in is what makes it more disruptive to the other students. So somebody of a saw me, it was a lot all step from the get feels im thing or what as a full sales and administrator on the 3rd floor called for a deputy bout for me, pacifically. But for a Deputy Office on the 1st floor. And i went ahead and got up to the 3rd floor. He says that the young lady who refusing, who is refusing to leave class unless the weight of issues always fast, well, shes refusing least class for so we try to call her teacher because she was in one of these classes where they get some extra help or as the case may be, a seizure wasnt available and the officer does have a choice, right . What am i gonna do . If the structure that puts arrows in a position where every crime is supposed to be reported to them . Any disturbance is a crime. So lots of kind of exposed to get reported to them and his duty is to enforce the law that point time. I decide that based on the circumstances of what we have, that im gonna go in and bro, from the classroom. So i walked in the classroom than what i saw or right away, i recognized i dealt with it before or 2 prior flights and shed had us for invalid. And both of which i felt like that she was put, picked on, pushed into a corner a little bit and kind of far away out of both of which i didnt arrest for both of which i really felt sorry for the young lady in some ways. Because ownership, dumas and things. So i though our senior lady, i get stuff account with the original i didnt get up. Thats good. I feel like ive been doing anything wrong. I wasnt, you know, fine. And i would argue with the teacher i, when im doing things are managed throughout the or the seniors out to do what he said, im not saying you did anything, but im saying that with me and we can talk about it. And i said young lady, you know me and almost very gosh, because i dont know you are, i know hes gonna try to move me. So i just know i was holding onto the desk. The i approached the desk, the man went to, i grabbed her last off around forever, right on track the right here and the job, the i grabbed her left arm reached around to grab it right on the machine right here in the job. The at the moment i was trying to get some, like some i was trying to hold on the samsung i wanted flower and then like it was made like i hit him, but i wasnt trying to, i was trying to grab one or some one. Somebody dont like it, but i did. It was so it was all mostly techniques grab holdover. She was locked into the dash, the best is backwards. I pulled back up, i have her pulling on or she comes out some slight out the best. The remember this with no right now im all in front of the classroom. They had it to me and my neck and all and i cannot bravo oh think id like to get off the f one time and give the mass which as bonnie bag put your hands behind you back and im trying to get. Ive tried to get her still fighting. She still punch me in the chest by on the ground. I finally get a handcuff is still fighting. So at that point in time i call 3 of the deputy who did respond. Were able to get her in handcuffs got her up. He doesnt or all the paperwork was signed and i turned her over to her foster mom for she was july 16 and all most of them took her home or whatever the case may be going on with his mom. He had a problem at home or even frustrated with Something Else at the moment is locked. Oh so he thought he was handed to right away. Well, he applied to my for the focus was in fact by use of force in this situation, how i removed or from the share was the focus of the investigation from the word go. A texas school Police Officer has been put on leave after video surfaced of a violent incident at a middle school school.
