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.
The officer, who is white, then grabs the girl, who is black, by a hair scarf, pulling her head back and saying,"You’re the one who started this s--- at school. ... I’m tired of this s---." 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.Footage from a body camera worn by another deputy responding to the incident showed him addressing the same student moments before the now-fired deputy intervened. The first deputy is heard telling the girl to relax, and saying he is not yelling at her.
