(CNN)The video shows a South Carolina school resource officer standing over a student, seated at her desk. He puts his arm near her neck, then yanks her backward. The desk tips over and the student crashes onto the floor.
The uniformed officer doesn't let go, sharply tugging the student toward the front of the classroom. She flies out of her desk and slides several feet across the floor.
"Give me your hands," the officer says.
His is the only voice heard. Other students sit calmly and quietly, one of them covering his face with his hand.
Yet many haven't been so quiet since the footage out of Columbia, South Carolina, surfaced.
Some have defended the officer, many pointing out that the video isn't complete. It doesn't show what happened before, including what the student did and how many times authorities -- a teacher, a school administrator and finally the officer, Richland County Sheriff's Deputy Ben Fields -- had asked her to get up.

Yes, he could have walked away and allowed her to continue her disruptive behavior. He did not slam her to the floor and toss her across the room. He tipped her desk over, pulled her from it and arrested her.
Nice spin, Hillary..............
Hardly spin. Did you watch the video or just listen to the voice over?
I watched the video several times. You must be watching the slow motion version.
