In Columbia, South Carolina, a series of videos posted to social media showing a police officer, employed as a school resource officer, slamming an African-American student to the ground and dragging her have gone viral. Officer Ben Fields has been suspended from the Richland County School District amid an outcry over the incident at Spring Valley High School. The video shows the girl sitting at her desk as Officer Fields grabs her around the neck and flips both her and her desk to the ground, before dragging her.
