The school resource officer who was caught on camera violently
flipping a South Carolina high school student at her desk has been
fired, Richland County authorities announced Wednesday.
Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott said an
internal investigation over the Monday incident at Spring Valley High
School in Columbia focused on whether Senior Deputy Ben Fields had
violated the department's policies.
He said at a news conference that the department
looked at cellphone videos taken from the classroom and interviews with
witnesses, and concluded that the maneuvers he used in the
confrontation were "not acceptable."
