A big place the i think and a lot of ways. And we can understand what has happened in South Carolina and to be a land to understand a whole host of racial issues across the country. The news circulating a new video of alleged abuse by an officer. So little bit difficult to watch. Today, the sheriffs, deputy, and columbia, South Carolina, forcibly remove the student from a classroom at Spring Valley high school. Its 18 year old, naya kenny was in her math class in Spring Valley high. When she saw School Resource officer binfield, we moved for classmate. I believe i noted here at all. Got nobody and i couldnt believe this is happening. Ive never seen it like that in my life. Like, i may use that much force on little girl, a big man like 300 pounds, a muscle house. I no way, no way like you can do that and the little girl that shamefully shopping video is reprehensible shocking confrontation witnessed by a classroom full of students. Bills did not follow proper training, did not follow proper procedure. And approximately 20 minutes ago. School resource officer be in sales with terminated from the Richmond County. Sheriff. Students in several platforms 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 very teachers that friend bring back the old while 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 real cause of all that the disrespect to the teachers as black live matter movement. This incident started with a disruptive student. Another class student was not allowing the teacher to teach and was not allowing the students are, 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 tickets and our which is exactly what many in our country would like. You know, you know how it is, even you, even, youre just saying that has people say, you know, we dont care, i dont care. I mean, you can go problem of violence in School Officers is not a new problem. This was the moment that documented those complaint the monday morning actually wasnt going to go to school there. The i know i saw him just talking to her whispering her and initially, you know, i didnt think is a problem because i knew that she was just this quiet student in the class. So our teacher picks up his phone and i kind of hear him say, i need someone escorted out of my class and 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 here. Him see 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 shes still sitting there like i guess i encourage the kids to figure out the cameras for those as knew that something to go, you know, from 0 to a 100 indefinitely. D. The whole time she still quite, you know, she laid out one sale once they took her out, he came back but he kind of like stood there and kind of scaled the classroom like where you see. He says Something Like, you have so much say youre coming to the success downstairs and we sat there for about an hour issue in cars before a paddy wagon came and got me and i was taken off to jail real deal the as a lot of time the thing you know, in handcuffs, cnn and quite wrong. So i was just by letting me get a rest of the bind for that, you know, go to jail right now, so i can never come back and never come back to school. Im never to the, i think this incident is illustrative 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 the lens is white, the being raised as a white person in this society . I was not raised to see myself and racial terms. But whiteness is a race. It is a killer position in the world and check killer world view and viewpoint. How has being white shape, how you experience the world. How does that shape here in perspective on this incident, the usually sources never predict. It looks ugly. It looks bad. Its hard. But necessary at times people are never going 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. I. 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 to use the force continuum that we go by, that we have to stay with it. And then to say someone looks the Police Officer and says, here is Law Enforcement that is more clearly attacking, abusing power air force and other other as close as this is whats wrong. The probably behave on discipline. Black children, 2 very different perceptions, which i believe comes from a historical perspective. What is the relation between black people and Police Officers . Is important to note that this is not the 1st time this officer has been accused of Excessive Force army veterans. Carlos marcus, as he recognized been, feels the instant he saw that video because deals treated him the exact same way. He says, 10 years ago we did to me, you started making all these original comments we started documenting. 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 ill just leave it at that. The s and 410 that we acknowledge that there were 2 chief complaints. That happened months 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 ser oh 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 one, know, 8 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 is gonna stand for 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 touch. 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 main intent was to come in and spread hate and violence we, we did a last last thing we, its not law force, best community did not allow them to try me in the russian states. Never as, as tight as im so one of the most sense community invest. In most all sun set up the must be the one else calls question about this, even though we will then in the european union, the kremlin media mission, the state on rochester landing and split from ortiz. Net keeping our video agency roughly all the band on youtube tv services. For the question, did you say a request for check the the, the the video focused everyones attention on the success of force. But we cant forget what brought that officer into that classroom. He was there and 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. But 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 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. The word thats always used more tools to control kids at a time when the status quote was really threatened. And in that case, it was designed to be used against outside agitators as 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 1990s, this law started being used all the time to run Something Else, which is student misbehavior. And you got to a point where or no, i think since 2000, Something Like 30000 kids were charged with disturbing schools in South Carolina. They used to be the Service Schools was a home phone, but yet lawful farmer structural barnes. And so we, we were utilizing that law as a blanket law is to uh to, to deal with uh, uh, sco house conflict. The one that i was thinking about. Okay, its tough for me to know opened up for small. Okay, and im just give people a clear idea of what happened and how to avoid it. Hard to switch sort of went better over the morning. I was getting dressed in school and i was all ready, sorry, because the night before i was up all night. I couldnt sleep and i was just had a lot of things a lot. What school i went to more resource teacher class could also check in where 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 what 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 you want to stay here. I took it upon myself and i said, okay, hes not going to ask for it and ill ask myself. So as i dont 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 . Hes either side 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 played out in the i ip hills, of course and let me go down. There are the canada tests and i started and i was like, i dont know, i understand. So im not, im not even going to try and ill just head out and house like muscle on nails or whatever. He came and 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 flashing now and i was like head down like this. This one my mills that he came to sit beside me so he was like im your phone. I was like what phone comes from the one you have your hands. I dont have a phone. He comes up too. So im not gonna ask you again. I said i still have phone is okay. Take this and go know like, what is the 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 calling because i didnt do anything. You can just 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. 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 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 behaviors and gotten more disruptive. Freeing the officer in is what makes it more disruptive to the other students. So somebody saw me, it was a lot all stop him from the get fails. Im thinking of what shopping online courses. Im an administrator on the 3rd floor called for a deputy, not for me pacifically, but for a Deputy Office on the 1st floor. And i went ahead and got up to the 3rd floor. And he says that the young lady who refusing, who is refusing to leave class so we initially refused always fast. Well, shes refusal in 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 in the all she 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 approve 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 she had a Spring Valley 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 i know she was doing some things. So i, so our senior lady said its 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 wouldnt argue with the teacher. I wasnt going. Things are managed throughout the or the seniors out to do what he said, im not saying you didnt but im saying that with me and we can talk about it. And i said young lady, you know, mean almost very gosh, because i dont know you are, i know hes gonna try to move me. So i just was holding onto the desk the i approached her desk the and went to, i grabbed her left off ranch around to grab her right on track me right here. And the job, the, i grabbed her left arm reached around to grab her right on the machine right here. And the job at the moment i was trying to get some, like some i was trying to hold on the samsung, you know, one flower in like it was made like i hit him, but i wasnt drunk. I was just trying to grab one or some one. Somebody dont like it, but i did. It was so it was all muscling techniques grab a hold of her. She was locked into the desk, the desk is backwards. I pulled back up, i have her pulling on her or she comes out some slight out of 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 breathe. I was like, oh thinking like to get off me the f one time given some ask which as bonnie bag put your hands behind you back and im trying to get, im trying to get her still fighting. She still punched 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 take us gunner up. He took her off. Paperwork aside, and i turned her over to her foster mom for she was juvenile 516 and all lost her moms with her comb 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 hell found it right away when he applied to much force 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. Police officer body slamming a female High School Student has triggered outrage in the North Carolina community. This is not what any parent expects to happen to a child at school. Youre rest of in albuquerque. Students for burping in choirs just touching his initials on the school sidewalk. They said if you want to sign this citation, were bringing and cups this cell phone. The video shows the struggle between a School Resource officer and their students. So the rest, 6 year old, kentucky sheriff handcuffs and 8 year old boy had enough of this. Take you back all the way to 17 year old student on a suspended status would not comply this resource officer of twice force the student to the ground. They dont see the racism aspect of the at all. Theyre just blind to that theres any qualities. They see that something that i was arrested in that was done on the ground and that it wasnt a racism issue. But that i must do something wrong to deserve that the, the, the, the analysis. But they, thats just letting you think he said that then yes maam. So facade, indeed, the, he would do it assuming that the, to, for them to look into an amendment keitel is the most of the im soon send the most of the, to the, the most, not the, on the outside of this out as a u. S. On the european authorities, its don pounds, privacy, and demonstrations. You ever since either the middle east offer a safe haven, the status and spelled from west universities.
