U.S. Edition
Vivian Anderson was living in Brooklyn, New York, in 2015 when a friend told her about video clips of a white police officer dragging a young Black girl from her desk and body-slamming her to the ground. Videos showed then-Spring Valley High School police officer Ben Fields in Columbia, South Carolina, flipping over the 16-year-old girl, identified as Shakara, toppling her desk and dragging her across the floor.
Like many Black women who have become overwhelmed by the traumatic experience of seeing videos of police violence against other Black women and girls, Anderson had braced herself to watch the videos.
our tolerance for it is zero. i repeat that what happened yesterday and what we all watched on that shamefully shocking video is reprehensible, unforgivable, and inconsistent with everything that this district stands for what we work for, and what we aspire to be. the board has caused for an investigation by south carolina s law enforcement division or s.l.e.d. and says it will re-evaluate training of school personnel on the appropriate use of school resource officers and will refer this incident to their existing diversity task force. the school district s black parents association has called for a justice department probe into what it says are long landing discriminatory practices by the school district itself. joining me now pring valley high school student niya kenny who was arrested after standing up for the student in question. also with me her attorney, todd rutherford. can you give us a little perspective what happened in that classroom before the videos all start?
