No, chiropractor can do more harm than good, thank you very much.

As a police officer you need to control your emotions at all times. It is a difficult thing to do however its something that must be done. He or any police officer for that matter can handle 1000's of jobs correctly. One job that you handle like this and your career is kaput!!

I think it's the lack of accountability that pisses people off.
He still has his job and is on administrative leave receiving full pay.

Incorrect, he was fired.


South Carolina school officer Ben Fields fired, but more fallout possible - CNN.com

Oh, Dear God, are we going to go on about race again? The second SRO assault needs its own thread. It's not even remotely related to this one.

Both black & white students walked out of school Friday in support of the police officer.

[url=http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2015/10/30/student-walkout-backs-fired-deputy-sc-school/74874920/]Students walk out to support fired S.C. deputy[/url]

Some students say they loved him. The high school football team plans to show support for him too.

[url]http://www.thestate.com/news/local/article41935716.html[/url]

I posted the 2nd link in case someone points out that the first video shows a white girl who supports him, but many black students are rallying around the deputy.

He has counseled students, coached them and now he doesn't have a job. He never should have been called to the classroom in the first place. Although I do not condone his rough behavior, I believe much of this is political. Just my opinion.
