A 15 STUDENT IN NORTH CAROLINA ALLEGEDLY SUFFERED A CONCUSSION AFTER
A SCHOOL COPS LATER TO THE GROUND THAT THE STORIES DEVELOPING
AND I WANT TO BE CLEAR THAT THE MOMENT, WE ARE UNSURE OF
EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED PRIOR TO THE GIRL GETTING SLAMMED
BUT THE EIGHT SECOND VIDEO OF COURSE WHEN VIRAL ONLINE.
WE DO HAVE IT FOR YOU DIET IS DIFFICULT TO WATCH, BUT I'M
GOING TO SHOW IT TO YOU AND THEN GIVE YOU A FEW DETAILS WE
DO HAVE.
TAKE A LOOK.
SO THE 15 STUDIO STUDENT WAS JUST IN DARWIN AND SHE
SUFFERED A CUSTOM CONCUSSION.
SHE WAS TAKEN TO HOSPITAL AFTER THE INCIDENT.
WHAT WE KNOW SO FAR IS THAT SOME SORT OF FIGHT BROKE OUT AND
JASMINE SISTER WAS INVOLVED AT THAT POINT JASMINE
ALLEGEDLY RAN OVER TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON.
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HAPPENED AT THAT POINT AND THAT'S WHEN
THE COPS LATER TO THE GROUND THOUGHT THE SCHOOL RESEARCH
OFFICER, RUBEN TAYLOR SANTOS HAS BEEN PLACED ON PAID
ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE PENDING THE OUTCOME OF AN INVESTIGATION.
ONE THING TO KEEP IN MIND IS THAT THERE IS NO
STANDARDIZED TRAINING PROGRAM OR MANUAL FOR THE STATE SCHOOL
RECESS RESOURCE OFFICERS.
TRAINING COURSE OFFERED TO THE NORTH CAROLINA JUSTICE ACADEMY,
BUT NOT EVERY SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER IS REQUIRED TO ATTEND
IT AND THAT IS ACCORDING TO MICHELLE ARCHER WHO IS THE NORTH
CAROLINA ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS PRESIDENT.
THIS IS WHAT WE ARE WITH US FOR.
WE ASKED FOR A LITTLE BIT OF RESTRAINT TO BE A LITTLE
BIT CAREFUL.
SHE IS 100 POUNDS.
I NEVER WANT TO MINIMIZE THE FRUSTRATION THAT COPS OR
SECURITY IS UNDER, HAVE YOU EVER TRIED TO SEPARATE 215 WORLD
GIRLS WHO ARE HAVING A FIGHT?
IN THIS CASE WE DON'T KNOW FOR SURE
THAT JUSTIN WAS EVEN IN THE FIGHT, BUT I GET IT.
THAT'S A SITUATION THAT WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL, I SAW
TEACHERS TRYING TO SEPARATE PEOPLE DIET IS NOT EASY.
THAT COP LOOKS TO BE SIGNIFICANTLY ABOVE 100 POUNDS
AND WHEN YOU HAVE 100 POUND GIRL, BE CAREFUL ABOUT SLAMMING
HER DOWN BECAUSE THE MOM IS RIGHT.
NOT ONLY DOES SHE HAVE A CONCUSSION, SHE COULD HAVE DIED.
THAT'S WHERE ASKING YOU TO BE CAREFUL.
TOO OFTEN, IT APPEARS LIKE PEOPLE ARE NOT THAT CAREFUL
BECAUSE IT IS NOT THAT IMPORTANT TO THEM.
IT'S AN EIGHT SECOND VIDEO.
LET'S LET THEM DO THAT INVESTIGATION AND MAYBE THE
GUY, IF YOU LOOK AT HIS WHOLE RECORD, IT WAS A MOMENTARY
LAPSE AND HE IS OVERALL GOOD COP.
I DON'T KNOW, WE DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HIM.
OR IF YOU FIND AS RECORD IS HE DOES THIS FAIRLY REGULARLY,
THEN THAT IS A HUGE CAUSE FOR CONCERN.
THE ONLY DETAIL THAT I HAVE LEARNED ABOUT HIM THE REPORTS IS
THAT HE HAS BEEN WORKING AS A SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER FOR FOUR
YEARS, AND THAT IS A DAUGHTER KNOW WHAT HIS RECORD IS I DON'T
KNOW IF THERE HAS BEEN ANY ALLEGATIONS AGAINST HIM IN THE
PAST, I JUST THINK BASED ON WHAT WE KNOW, HE COULD HAVE
PREVENTED THAT TYPE OF FORCE.
YOU ARE RIGHT, SHE IS 100 POUNDS, SHE IS A LOT SMALLER.
YOU ARE A COP.
YOU JUST BREAK THEM UP.
I AM NOT SAYING IT'S THE EASIEST THING IN THE WORLD.
IF I SAW TWO GIRLS FIGHTING OR HOWEVER MANY GIRLS
FIGHTING, IT'S NOT BREAK THEM UP, IT IS GOING TO BE A
LITTLE MORE DIFFICULT THAN THAT I UNDERSTAND THAT BUT I
FEEL LIKE IT WOULD BE MUCH EASIER TO RESTRAIN THEM OR
MORE EFFECTIVE TO RESTRAIN THEM THEN SOMEBODY SLAM A STUDENT
ONTO THE FLOOR TO THE POINT WHERE THEY COULD POSSIBLY DIE.
AGAIN, SHE SUFFERED A CONCUSSION.
THAT IS SERIOUS.
WHO KNOWS WHAT HIS RECORD IS, WHAT HE'S DONE, MAYBE HE'S
NOT ALWAYS BAD GUY.
YOU ARE RIGHT.
WE'VE ALL SEEN FIGHTS IN HIGH SCHOOL.
THEY DON'T CHECK THE RECORD OF THE KID WHO IS IN THE FIGHT
AND SAY HOW MANY TIMES HAS HE DONE THIS DIET THIS WAS HER
FIRST BUYER WHO KNOWS, AGAIN, WE DON'T KNOW WHERE THE FIGHT
SHE WAS INVOLVED.
THEY DON'T GO WELL, IT WAS ONLY HER SECOND FIGHT AND SHE'S
A SOPHOMORE NOW SO WHEN A YEAR IS OKAY.
OFF THE HOOK.
THERE IS NO LENIENCY.
THERE'S NO CHANCES.
WHATEVER PUNISHMENT, I'M NOT SAYING HE SHOULD BE FIRED OR
NEVER BE A POLICE OFFICER AGAIN, BUT HE SHOULD GET WHATEVER FULL
LEVEL OF RESPONSIBILITY AND EVERYONE HAS THEIR JOBS AND
THE RESPONSIBILITIES.
YOU HAD TO PAY FOR WHATEVER YOU DO WHEN YOU DO A WRONG.
I JUST THINK THE TRAINING THING IS THE BIGGEST PROBLEM.
REALLY, THERE'S NO STANDARDIZED TRAINING FOR SCHOOL
RESOURCE OFFICERS?
LET'S MILITARIZE THE POLICE FORCE, LET'S MILITARIZE
SCHOOL CAMPUSES AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
BY THE WAY, YEAH, THERE WERE A TON OF FIGHTS WHEN I WAS IN
HIGH SCHOOL AND MIDDLE SCHOOL.
YOU KNOW WHAT?
IN THE VAST MAJORITY OF CASES WE DIDN'T HAVE CAMPUS POLICE
ARE YOU KNOW WHO BROKE UP THE FIGHT?
TEACHERS.
ADMINISTRATORS DINE YOU KNOW WHAT THEY DID?
PICK THEM UP.
THERE WAS NOBODY SLAMMING.
THERE WERE NO CHOKE HOLDS.
+2 THINGS HERE.
WE ALL SURVIVE THAT ERA SO IT IS POSSIBLE TO SURVIVE IT
WITHOUT COPS OR SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS SWARMING THE CAMPUS.
A MORE COMMON PROBLEM IS KIDS GETTING ARRESTED BECAUSE IF
YOU PUT OFFICERS IN A SCHOOL, WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO DO?
THEY'RE GOING TO WANT TO DO SOMETHING AND I AM NOT
BLAMING THEM FOR.
YOU PUT THEM THERE.
THEY ARE GOING TO POLICE A SCHOOL AND NEXT THING YOU
KNOW A LOT MORE KIDS ARE GETTING ARRESTED WHEREAS WE HAD
FIGHTS ALL THE TIME BUT I LIVED IN A SUBURBAN NO ONE EVER
GOT ARRESTED ON THIS CASE THAT IS NOT THE ISSUE.
THE OTHER ISSUE IS NOW YOU HAVE A COP AND HE HAS, AN OFFICER,
AND HE IS USED TO SOME DEGREE OF FORCE WHEREAS THE TEACHERS MAY
BE A LITTLE MORE CAUTIOUS AND INSTEAD, WE HAVE THE
GENERAL ATTITUDE AND CULTURE UNFORTUNATELY OF OFFICERS
WHICH IS IN FORCE AUTHORITY.
LOOK GUYS, ALWAYS SHOE ON THE OTHER FOOT.
IF I AM THAT OFFICER, IT IS A HARD JOB TO DO TO SPLIT THEM UP.
BUT IF I AM THAT GIRLS DAD AND I JUST SAW SOMEONE BODY SLAM
MY HUNDRED POUND DAUGHTER.
IMAGINE HOW MAD YOU WOULD BE IF SOMEONE SLAMMED YOUR 100
POUND DAUGHTER.
TAKE IT EASY.
SUPER LAST THING IS, JR MAKES A REALLY INTERESTING POINT.
WHEN IT COMES TO THE KIDS, WE DO ZERO TOLERANCE.
WE DO IT ALL THE TIME.
YOU BRING THE WRONG KIND OF KNIFE TO LUNCH, GONE.
OH MY GOD, IF YOU EVER SMOKE WEED, GONE.
ANYTHING.
YOU DRAW THE WRONG CARTOON, GONE.
ZERO-TOLERANCE.
HOW COME NO ONE EVER SUGGESTS ZERO TOLERANCE FOR COPS?
IF YOU SAY, IF A COP THIS IN THE WRONG HE SHOULD BE GONE,
ZERO-TOLERANCE.
PEOPLE SAY NO, THEY'VE A JOB.
WE SHOULDN'T EVEN TRY THEM?
WE SHOULD ACQUIT THEM IF AT ALL
PART POSSIBLE.
PUBLIC OPINION HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THAT I THINK BUT
ALSO COPS HAVE THE PROTECTION OF UNIONS.
KIDS DON'T.
THAT'S IT.
WE DID A KIDS UNION.
