A widely circulated video on social media shows a school resources officer in Florida crashing into a student land. CBS Orlando affiliate WKMG-TV reports that it happened at Liberty High School in Kissimmee.
The video, which had been viewed more than 70,000 times on Tuesday night, shows the MP throwing her hard on a concrete walkway. Moments later, the deputy is seen marrying her while a second deputy stands beside her.

The student looks motionless as they put their fists on her, her back with her face down.
The officer is an employee of the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office, who said Tuesday evening that he was collecting video and witness statements.
The sheriff’s office also said the officer “was in the process of trying to prevent the student from fighting another student in the hallway when the deputy took her into custody. “
The sheriff’s office did not release information about the student’s condition, the school resources officer who assisted the student, or the sub-delegate who put them on.
The Orlando Sentinel reports that the sheriff’s office’s use of force policy says officers should use “the minimum amount of force required to perform official duties.”
