Ben Fields' seven years as a school resource officer are over. But the fallout from his tossing a student across a classroom may be far from over.
The FBI is looking into whether the former South Carolina sheriff's deputy committed a crime. And the FBI and U.S. attorney's office are looking into whether the student's civil rights were violated.
Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott said he fired Fields because the deputy threw the student at Spring Valley High School.
"The fact that he picked the student up and he threw the student across the room -- that is not a proper technique, and should not be used in law enforcement," Lott said.

“I know that back in my day mild violence would have been used, but things are very different now.”
That’s part of the problem. Most of my teachers (the ladies even) probably would have just twisted my earlobe and dragged me out of class. There never would have even been a “resource officer” called.
Your humor detector busted again?
Or maybe dismiss the rest of the class, leaving her alone.
Start the verbal 60-second countdown.
= = =
It is unfair to assume she can count as high as 60, and especially backwards.
So now a kid can rebel and do any damned thing they want in a school today, and the teachers get smacked, and the stinking punks will wind up with the money, the teacher and cop get into trouble. THIS IS WHAT THE STINKING PROGRESSIVES WILL GET THE UNITED STATES. THIS IS WHAT WILL “BE IN CHARGE” OF THE COUNTRY IN 25 YEARS. I am danged glad I will be gone from this earth by the time these progressive trained punks are in charge. I will be in Heaven with my LORD, not on this stinking cess pool of a earth with these punks. America is done. It stands no chance whatsoever of getting back to what it once used to be. The shining light on the hill has gone out.
Drama queen.
I had completely forgotten about the ear twist. You sure went wherever she took your ear!
“Copper”
Why would anyone go into law enforcement in such a hostile environment? Let the kids run the school. Chances are, those who survived might learn more than they are learning right now anyway.
This LEO did nothing wrong. We live in Obama’s America now and it’s only going to get worse.
A good thought. The student is obviously a drama queen who needs an audience to show how tough she is.
Cops don’t have to do it the smart way. They can do it the dumb way too.
“I think the guy just snapped after years of dealing with the mouthy little jerks.”
Me, too, but still.
Student walkout backs fired deputy at S.C. school
About 100 students at a South Carolina high school walked out of class briefly Friday to show support for a school resource officer fired after video showed him throwing an uncooperative black female student across the floor, according to local media and Twitter feeds.
The students walked out of classes at Spring Valley HIgh School in Columbia, S.C., around 10 a.m. and gathered in the atrium to express their views on the firing of Deputy Ben Fields.
Some in the crowd — which included both black and white students — wore T-shirts reading “Free Fields” or “#BringBackFields.”
