A Florida school resource officer has been fired and faces an investigation after a video surfaced on social media showing him yanking a middle school student by her hair.
Following outrage, the Orange County Sheriff's Office released body cam footage of the incident Friday. In the video, officers are shown responding to a fight that broke out between students outside Westridge Middle School in Orlando, Florida. It shows one deputy holding a girl against the trunk of a car, with her arms held behind her back.
He then drags the girl to a police car and puts her in the back seat. The girl was briefly detained before being released to a parent, authorities said.In a press conference Friday, Orange County Sheriff John Mina described the officer’s conduct as"out of control.” Mina told reporters that he had been made aware of the video on Friday morning, and that after reviewing it and footage from the department’s own body cameras, the decision was made to terminate the deputy's employment.
