COLUMBIA, S.C. — The Justice Department will investigate an episode at a high school here in which a white police officer is seen in a video upending the desk of a black female student in a math class and dragging her when she refused to leave the classroom.

The video of a deputy sheriff, Ben Fields, in the classroom quickly went viral, and prompted the Richland County Sheriff, Leon Lott, to ask federal officials to investigate the encounter at Spring Valley High School. On the department’s Facebook page on Tuesday, Sheriff Lott said the federal investigation had begun. Local law enforcement officials believe “that the criminal investigation will be best served with the F.B.I. as the lead agency,” Sheriff Lott said, adding that the state police had also been asked to investigate.

Has anyone ever heard Barack Obama tell an audience to respect authority, follow their instructions?

Be that cops, teachers or parents!

And it's getting worse, not better.

As evident in the latest video we see today, total disrespect for her teacher, then the cop who physically removed her.

And the MSM today is perpetuating the Obama Administration "Bad Cops" meme.

Its a big country, and the community-organizer-in-chief and the radicals he has under his wing will be able to find plenty of incidents of “white on black” aggression to feed to their non-stop agitation.

That officer was right. It's too bad he didn't pepper spray her. This damn girl was a typical black that the new phase is don't obey lawful commands. Hopefully soon a real club on the head would be the norm for law enforcement.

Will it escalate nationwide knowing that they have the D-O-InJ behind them? What a crock.

40 years ago, blacks had a little respect for authority....It’s down the drain now. I know an 85 year old man that was Chief of Police in Prichard, AL....What stories he can tell...I have one of his nickel plated Colt Commando .38 specials....that gun killed a few folks.

Clockmed, the Sequel

Both involve classrooms and then arrest by police.

Okay, WHO are this girl's parents and WHAT is her religion? If not Muslim, it's time to get out the hanky and cry about 'police brutality' against blacks.

AS USUAL, we see NO video whatsoever as to what occurred prior her being flung out of her chair.

I support what the officer did 100%. She refused to comply with the order of a police officer AND THAT IS CONVENIENTLY NOT SHOWN IN THE VIDEO. George Soros is BUSY!!

More Obama administration MISSION CREEP !!!

The Feral government can't (or won't) perform its constitutional duties.

But its socialist, racist, Islamic, one-world nose is stuck in every aspect of our lives.

BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU

She’ll probably get a sleepover at DOJ AG Loretta Lynch’s house.

It would seem noon in the media is willing to ask the very simple question: why the hell is this a federal issue?

Civil rights violations..

You think Team Soros would select a white girl to disobey her teacher's commands and then disobey a cop's commands and to make sure we not see what happened prior to the chair flip?
