Vance County Sheriff Curtis Brame said he was thinking of his own grandchildren as he watched the video.
"I was stunned, I was shocked," Brame told WRAL."To see a child that small reminded me of one of my grandchildren."The deputy was placed on paid leave pending the investigation. "This is a use-of-force case," Vance County District Attorney Mike Waters said."I've been able to assure the family that this is being conducted appropriately."
Sheriff Brame said he was not aware of any previous complaints about this deputy. It also wasn't clear what the child might have said or done leading up to the body slams, but Brame said. The child, who is under 12, has a bump on his head from the incident but was not hospitalized, his mother said.
This is battery.
must of been a bad little kid
وماذا تم بعد هل قدمتموه للمحاكمه ام كأن شئ لم يكن ؟
Unacceptable. Fire him and sue him and the district. Emotional scars don’t go away.
Why did he do it? Don’t dangle carrots in front of us? If you don’t have the whole story don’t report it.
I dunno...assault against a child seems like a crime worthy of arrest to me, but I’m just a guy and copsRcriminals
I will do professional mascot logo and artwork design
Suspended.. Not fired, not arrested, not charged, just suspended
Got a Vacation with pay till later date
The only good cop is a dead one
Where are the 'stop resisting' crew at?
Suspended. He needs to be in jail. Everyone saw that video. The so called mental deputy needs to be behind bars. NOW
He didn't even do anything wrong that kid was fighting him
What were they doing before being slammed?
What wrong w firing him?
There is no excuse for this violent assault by this deputy. This child could have been killed. WTAH!!
he needs to be in jail. and his $$ whipped..
There is nothing to warrant this reaction from the deputy. He should be fired and arrested.
Deputy should be on ”unpaid” leave.
Hell no. Fire his ass and charge him with assault, abuse, violation of his oath... everything you can.
Sickening. Just horrible.
Why not fired?
Deputy sb fired
Why not arrested and charged with assault and battery?
Suspended?!?! There is ZERO excuse for that behavior. He should have been immediately fired. But it's backwards North Carolina, so I'm not surprised.
put the blame where it belongs, on the parents. the person was just doing his job.
Government schools are garbage
