Disturbing video depicting a school resource officer body-slamming a 16-year-old Black Liberty High School student in Kissimmee, Florida has gone viral.
Within the video, which begins with the slam, the student appears to be unconscious after being hurled to the ground. The officer, who is a Sheriff’s Deputy, proceeds to handcuff the student as several classmates watch in shock.
The incident reportedly began with the officer attempting to de-escalate a fight amongst students.
The Osceola County Sheriff’s Department is investigating the matter to determine whether the officer followed protocol by using the minimal amount of force necessary to handle the situation.
