COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — The attorney for a teen who was flipped backward out of her desk and tossed across a classroom says his client did suffer several injuries during her arrest.
Columbia attorney Todd Rutherford told ABC's "Good Morning America" on Wednesday that Richland County Senior Deputy Ben Fields should have been fired as soon as Sheriff Leon Lott saw the video recorded by several students at Spring Valley High School in Columbia.
"She now has a cast on her arm, she has neck and back injuries. She has a Band-Aid on her forehead where she suffered rug burn on her forehead," Rutherford told the network.
Lott had said Tuesday that the girl was uninjured in the confrontation but "may have had a rug burn."
ROFLMNAO!
Well yes... suffering injury is what one should reasonably expect when you tell a 250 lb man with 18" biceps to shove it.
RULE: Never tell a man who is 5 times your size to shove it.
Consequences for violating the rule: Potentially severe injuries.
That is how it works and the attempt to alter 'how it works', will only make the situation worse, inevitably causing greater injury.
Now would you like to see what happens to kids who think that THEY are the center of the universe and that they should bear no respect for cops?
