The incident – seen in a now-viral video shared on social media and officer body-camera video shared by police – began with a fight Wednesday afternoon between multiple students at Fairfield High School. Fairfield police arrested two students and confiscated two backpacks, which police said contained sharp objects. A video shared on social media, which now has nearly 50,000 views, shows an officer punching the student in the head while they are face-down on the ground.

What I saw was an on campus rioter resisting arrest

And for the Solano Black Chamber of Commerce to state:

"As mothers, fathers, leaders, and community members, many of us felt an overwhelming sense of pain and heartbreak while watching," the organization said. "Regardless of differing opinions or perspectives, this is a tragic and emotional situation that impacts real people, real families, and an entire community."

How about having your kids behave while attending school or is that too freaking much to ask

[Red Badger]

Black cop, black punk, no whites involved...............

[Governor Dinwiddie]

I recently saw a documentary about animals on a continent which shall not be named.

How about “control your kids or face arrest”?

So saith the new sheriff in DC.

[boycott]

The person who posted the video said that he’s a parent of the student ....

Does that mean baby-daddy? Why not say he’s the father? Clearly the pos lacked good parenting.

Either way, the sorry ass has anger issues and should be locked in a cage.

That's the same kind of thing that the Sheriff of Polk County,Florida says. In one press conference about an incident in which his deputies were in a shootout with a bad guy he was asked by a reporter why the deputies stopped shooting. He said “because they had run out of bullets”.

There is both a Fairfield, near Augusta, and in northern Maine a Fort Fairfield.

The punk is lucky the cop restrained himself. The punk should’ve had his a55 kicked up and down the street in front of all of his other little punk a55 friends and then cuffed and hauled off to jail. Then the cops should’ve arrested the punk’s parents.

[FamiliarFace]

Yeah. I have a hard time with articles that don’t say the state, presuming that everyone knows exactly which state it is without mentioning it.

[Bigg Red]

Keywords section here makes reference to Arkasas.

[FamiliarFace]

I think the OP made a mistake there.

This happened in California. KTVU is in Oakland, CA.

[lightman]

I did a look up of the call letters of the TV station cited as the source.

The station is an Arkansas.

My question is what drug was this kid on? Drug testing would tell that question and answer a few more.

[Tommy Revolts]

Out of control Yutes.

It was a chick cop too.

He absolutely got what he deserved, and even as his mommy is sniffing around for the ghetto lottery, it would be better if SHE shared in the consequences for the actions of the little monster she is raising.
