[000:00:00;00] the geography we have this term, big places. the big places are places where life, there are layers and layers and layers of history or something. huge happened. you few in the south carolina. it's a big place, the thinking a lot of ways and we can understand what has happened and south carolina going 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 a little bit difficult to watch. today, the sheriff's, deputy and columbia, south carolina, forcibly removed a student from a class room in spring valley high schools 18 year old naya kennedy was in her math class in spring valley high. when she saw school resource officer binfield, or simply remove her classmate leave. i know that i've got nobody and i couldn't believe this was happening. i've never seen it like that in my life. like

a me that much force on little girl. a big name like 300 pounds of muscle house i know way. no way like you can do that. and a little girl that's shamefully shopping video is reprehensible shocking confrontation witnessed by a classroom full of students. deals do not follow proper trainings and not follow the prompts of procedure. and approximately 20 minutes ago school resource officer, the in sales was terminated from the richmond county. sheriff. students in several classrooms walked out, showing their support for a former school resource officer, ben fields. he was a great guy, like he protected us and everything like he was a resource officer from apparently were very t shirts that fred, 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. if 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. student was not allowing the teacher to teach and not allowing the students to learn. this is ridiculous. the people are going to say that the cop is in the wrong doing. we're dealing with the generation of kids who do not respect a far. this is an absolute ticket to energy, which is exactly what many in our country would like. do you know, you know, how it is even you, even, you're just saying that has people say, you know, we don't care, i don't 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, the monday morning actually wasn't going to go to school. they

know i saw him just talking to her whispering her a and initially, you know, i didn't think it was 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 me 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 didn't disrupt the class, so we had no idea what was going on here. him saying that he's 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's 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 do the whole time. she's still quite, you know, she laid 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 you're coming to they took us 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

jail. the as a lot of time, the thing you know in handcuffs, cnn, and quite rooms. i was just, by the way, make it a rush to find you know, deadlines go to jail right now, so i can never come back and never come back to school. i'm never come back. the,

i think this incident is illustrative of so many dynamics that are relevant in this moment. as a white person, i'm going to ask the white people to try to killer lens on. i'm just going to ask you to grapple with it. 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 position in the world and the 2nd check killer world view and view point. how has being white shape, how you experience the world? how does that shape here in perspective on this incident, the usually the forces never predict.

it looks ugly. most bad. it's hard but necessary a task people are never going to change your mind so people will never change their minds about the video. they think i was wrong, and that's it. so she will think i was absolutely right and that's it. i. but i don't, i can't get into that so much. i think what we get into what i want to get into more is this a lot. we're trying to certain ways police officers are trying to deal with tough situations. we're trying to follow the law and force the law. and then we have to use the force continuum that we go by. we have to stay with it. and i did have someone look to the police officer and says, here is law enforcement that is clearly attacking, abusing power air force and other other as close as this is what's wrong, probably behave on discipline. black 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 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 definitely started making all these personal comments we started documenting. unfortunately. brandon is racial comments? correct. are you finding what it all was right on the ground? as you can see, protecting myself. i think that's public record. i believe. as far as that goes, um but yeah, i'd, i'd been accused before of excessive force. yes. which, which was the lawsuit which i found in my favor, then i'll 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 180 percent majority or rest asking american, you can look at the present system in this and tell that that's not a new story. it's 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 an informed position. we did not have a policy in place on how school resource officer should deal with students with disabilities visible and unseen disability.

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. it's 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 in brooklyn. i saw the video of my beer interview after she's been released from jail. let me ask her what made you spend the last 4 my whole

life change because here's a child is saying, nobody else has no staff, this child and i'm like what? and then i got enough courage, actually watched the video less the crowd all night. i was angry. i'm a member of black lives matter, new york city, my peace with health and wellness and like care. this is visual, what we've 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 punch. 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 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 didn't have riots. we didn't

have major protests. we didn't have, we didn't have problems over, and we haven't had people from the house side. there's a main intent was to come in and spread hate and violence. we, we didn't allow what i say we, it's not law force, best community did not allow them to come in the, to the cousins. bailey was not great because of the bailey, was expansion, and need a ride clear long the we can discuss it, but the rush out there see if the expansion of nature as a vital existence will transfer to russian security. and uh, it must be repeated once again. that's russia, said it many, many times since. 1996.

the take a fresh look around his life kaleidoscopic isn't just a shifted reality distortion by power to division with no real opinions. fixtures designed to simplify will confuse, re, the was a better world. is it just because it shows if you fractured images, presented as fast? can you see through their illusion going underground? can the, [000:00:00;00]

the video focused everyone's attention on the success of force. but we can't 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. it all comes from. the original intent was to control young people. the very, very original version of south carolina's 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 women's colleges, white women's college and his jurisdiction the

and then it was in the late ninety's, sixty's at 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 words that's 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 is against outside agitators. this is the phrase that was always used. and in fact, when it was used against was, you know, tens of thousands of kids at these schools, they were not outside years, right. and disproportionately kids of color in the 19 ninety's,

this law started being used all the time to prevent something else, which is student misbehavior. and you got to a point where i don't know, i think since 2000 something like 30000 kids were charged with disturbing schools and south carolina. the use of the the certainly schools law was a home phone. but yet law for the farmers structural barnes. and so we, we were utilizing that law as a blanket law is to uh, to deal with um, uh, school house conflict, the one that i was thinking about. okay, it's tough for me now opened up for me and i'm 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 dress going. all right, sorry, because the night before i was up all night i couldn't sleep and i was just had

a lot of things a lot. what school wants more resource teacher class class was checking more everyone might so she knows that i'm at school. she said, how are you doing that? so i was not a little bit stressed out and had some problems with my mom. i went to english that morning after i got to that class, i went to what the math teacher he was going over some stuff. i know this is not gonna be a good day because i don't understand math without a test. i went to him and i was like, can you call our resource teacher to see if i can go to her class so i can get some help since i know you're going to stay here and just look on my cell phone, it's okay if he's not gonna ask for it and i'll ask myself. so as i don't my computer and i was trying to see her email. and to get quoted me out of the app because he had his wife's computer that he can control whatever we're doing on ours . and i say, why don't you called me out? he's like,

that's not appropriate for class. i don't want to send her email. so i tried to get back on the calls my problem. if i ask for help, the call are so sweet to him as opposed to find out in the ip that he was a call. so let me go down. there are the i handed them tests and i started it and i was like, i don't know understand, so i'm not, i'm not even going to try and i'll just put it down and i'll slide the news of whatever he came and new beside me. he said, why are you not taking the test? i said, because i don't understand that and he won't let me go to my research teacher for the caps off now. and i was like, head down like this. this one is that he came to sit beside me so he was like im your phone. i was like what? phone? just one from the one you have your hands. i don't have

a phone. he thumbs up too. so i'm not gonna ask you again. i said i still have phone is okay. take this and go know like, what is there some? oh, i'm right you up because you want to be just your best one. not put your phone way outside, but i'm calling because i didn't do anything. you can't just send me out of class for, 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 you've now got it. and then left it there and dealt with it after class, so it didn't disrupt everybody else for that. or does he call the assistant principal in as rebecca. then you've got a similar set of questions and discretion that the assistant principal called the assistant principal. and yeah, what's the problem, why not put the phone up outside because i don't have the phone as anybody. i don't have the phone. so okay, well i need you to come with me and i didn't do that. i don't think i should have

sent me a classroom for not doing anything. let me see the principal decides call in the row and this is to my lawyer brain. that's the really big choice because that's making the s r o b enforcer to school this sprint. cars behavior has gotten more disruptive breeding. 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 fails. i'm thinking of what as a full sales and administrator on the 3rd floor called for a deputy, not for me pacifically, but for a deputy miles is 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 as a way of issues always fast, well, she's refusing to leave class for. so we tried to call her teacher because she was in one of these classes where they get some extra help, or of the case may be

a seizure wasn't available. and they, 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 i'm going to go in and remove from the classroom. so i walked in the classroom than what i saw or right away, i recognized i dealt with it before or to try 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 didn't 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 as to your lady, i said it just doesn't come with the original. i didn't get up this card. i feel like i'm doing, i'm doing wrong. i wasn't, you know, fine and i would argue with the teacher, i wasn't going things are managed throughout the or the out of do what he said, i'm not saying you didn't but i'm saying so with me and we can talk about it. and i said usually you know me, you know, almost very gosh, because i don't know you are,

i know he's gonna try to move me. so i just, and i was holding onto the desk the i approached the desk the and went to i grabbed her left on reach around forever, right on track right here in a job the i grabbed her left arm reached around to grab it right on

the track and right here in the job at the moment i was trying to get some like some i was trying to hold on a samsung, you know, one flower and in light it was made like i hit him, but i wasn't drunk. i was just trying to grab one or some one from don't like it, but i did. it was so it was all mostly techniques grab hold of or she was locked into the desk, the desk is backwards. i pulled back up. i have or pulling on the comes out some slide out of the best, the all number at the desk with no right now i'm all in front of the classroom. the he had his knee and my neck and all, and i cannot bravo. oh think i'd like to get off the f one time and give the mass which as bonnie back put your hands behind you back and i'm trying to get. i'm trying to get her still fighting. she still punched me

in the chest by on the ground. i finally get a handcuff on still sliding side to that point in time. i call 3 other deputy who did respond. we're able to get her take us gunner up pizza that are all paper work beside. and i turned her over to her foster mom for she was juvenile, 516 years old, lost her mom, said her call 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 found that the right way where 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 a north carolina community. this is not what any parent expects to happen to a child at school. you're rest of in albuquerque. students for burping inc was just extreme, his initials on the school sidewalk. they said if you want to sign the citation we're 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 a 17 year old student on a suspended status would not comply this resource officer twice. forced the student to the ground. they don't see the racism aspect of it at all. they're just blind to

that there's any qualities. they see that something that i was arrested in that was thrown on the ground and that it wasn't a racism issue. but that i must do something wrong to deserve that. the the one you do that you attempted to collect your x amount apache

sat there for the show and then it will have to last negotiate of a of a dish. international stuff is defensive to supplement is such a button and not to mention in i thought someone did you lose? it asked me if i said the media. i know people, there's only 2 reason to do, say was in the city, the new country can piece of us going to be present? good. it was working monday morning to work it down. stimulus the industry is it will less money will process the left. so should william farmer shots might give us we have got a guy store to go or decision the day monday i'm able to was that man was the ones that ridiculous friends the best one today and but you left off at closer to settlement shows. those are pretty sharp journals on page 2. the fisheries came,
