Recently a video has surfaced of an officer damming a girl to the ground during school over a cell phone. The incident apparently occurred after the student, known as Shakara, did not put her cell phone away fast enough. Before the officer had been called into the class, the girl had refused orders from the teacher and the vice principal to leave the classroom because she thought the punishment was unfair. The incident left the girl with one arm in a cast and a neck injury. The sheriff of the officer has come out and said that the officer was wrong, but also says the girl was also at fault because if the girl had not disrupted class and defied her authorities then the incident would not have occurred. Another student was also taken out of class that day and both girls are facing misdemeanor charges that could result in up to a 1000 dollar fine and ninety days in jail if they are found guilty. The FBI is currently investigating whether or not the girls civil rights were violated.
