Surveillance video shows Chicago police dragging female student down stairs, using stun gun.

and Tasering her three times, are being further called into question after the release of new surveillance video on Thursday.

A school resource officer at John Marshall Metropolitan High School in Chicago can be seen dragging a 16-year-old girl down a flight of stairs in a February incident. Two officers were reassigned after the confrontation. The initial cellphone video did not fully show the actions of the police officers at the bottom of the stairs as they moved out of view. In the new video, they can be seen pinning her to the ground, throwing several punches and eventually using a stun gun on her three times.The department did not offer further comment after the release of the surveillance video this week, deferring to an ongoing investigation.

Totally unacceptable!

My main question is why wouldn't she put her damn phone away? And why would it lead to police force involvement? Where was the respect on all parts? Nothing's changed when it comes to ruffing up rebels or disrespecting authoritarian figures. Nothing.

Heliopolis Akademeia we find abuse of power is due to low self esteem.A year ago we criticized how security violated a female teacher H.rights .She was dragged on the floor under assistant superintendent 's eyes .Today a student is treated similarly.We R violent & ignorant.

Au 21 siècle la police se comporte encore de la sorte c'est très regrettable.

Those officers need to be fired and the family of the girl needs to sue them.

Thank God that wasn't my child

Why didn’t she put her phone away?! I’m sure that’s not all of the story. Probably acted out like a little runt. Police are not the parents. TeAchers are not the parents. Parents don’t teach discipline and expect the world to bend a knee to their kid. Raise up right!

But she acted like an aggressive hooligan and she got stomped on.

They keep doing this because there is no reprisal, people just take it march and shit

This attitude towards the female student and dragging her down the stairs by the Chicago Police is not good.

Bet she puts her phone away next time!!

When is enough a enough people

OH. HELL. NO.

Apparently she deserved it.

She's not a child and I bet she was fighting and resisting from the start. All she had to do was put her phone away and none of this would have happened.

It’s another example of why cops don’t need to be in schools

This kind of behavior from a cop toward a child is ridiculous and needs to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law! This is not the first video I have seen of a cop laying their hands on a minor in this way.

That is totally wrong!

Looks like she had it coming!

All those burly guys could not take into custody one female. They had to taz her multiple times!! Bunch of weenies

I don’t care what the circumstances were - for either side - nor who did what. This behavior is outrageous and uncalled for on the side of the officers. Dragging someone down the stairs is absolutely unprofessional and appalling.

F****n idiots 😡

What the Hell!

That initial part where she gets dragged to the stairs shows her calm and not causing any problems which calls into question their behavior

Resisting arrest, or arrest-ishness in this instance! Always resisting arrest What am i missing?

They should be fired!

Play stupid games win stupid prizes.

ChiPubSchools fire these motherfucking scum & feed them to the wolves. They have no right to be called a human. pieces of shit. There is no place for police interference in public schools unless there is a threat to someone’s life. Excuse my language but they really pissedmeoff.

One cop has her by an arm & a leg while he has a foot on her stomach. The other cop is on top of her holding her by the neck... THIS IS A 16yr old CHILD ! ANY woman of GIRL would fight back as hard as she did. Those cops need to be FIRED & SUED !

Good! These damn kids now a days have no respect for adults!

His would never happen in a predominantly white school. And yes kids can be disrespectful and disobedient. Black kids just get criminalized and harmed for it.

She looks pretty defiant. How about you teach one day in that school?

Sad

Shocking uncalled for behaviour and violence....Is this what Trump means when he says Make America Great Again..I always thought it was before he resided in the White House.

Fire them. Prosecute them. Don’t even try to blame the victim! How much of the violence in Chicago attributable to the police?

But honestly why do American police so so unprofessional? How cruel they are! How can u try to police the world when actually U can’t police urself? They need to be trained abroad maybe in England so they can learn professionalism and ethics. So sad

Police Brutality over a CELL PHONE! Sue the police! They have to treat people with respect!

Cops do not belong in schools.

Curse them

:((

Still a KAP fan big time, does that do it for this response? You will never see me changing my colors for a cop sorry and my cousin has one but there’s too many shady and bad ones out there actually more than people

These cups deserve jail time! Jerks!!!

Excessive?! No way! Really, some ppl just need to beat RESPECT outta em! CPD should of baton, pepper sprayed, and deployed couple tasers for a real education!

Fucking ridiculous. This punishment is nowhere near fitting the crime committed.

She should have put the phone away .... pretty simple request ...

It’s very sad to see that so many people are willing to blame the victim just because they do not know the whole story. This is why people don’t come forward in cases of violence. STOP BLAMING THE VICTIM! It’s supposed to be “innocent until proven guilty”.

🤬🤬🤬 How would they like it if their daughter was treated like this, or if they have a daughter or maybe they do this to their own kids? If someone did that do that to my kids OMG I have real cops in my family and lawsuit will start right away.

I have noticed a pattern in these issues, it's always a black kid that's being disrespectfull and having to be drag out. Never a white kid or Latino kid, always a black kid.

This is horrific. And to think it took place in a high school is deplorable. Grossly mishandled

That's how Chicago police deals over a phone situation? Seriously? It's not all brains wearing a uniform.

Parents if you teach your children to be respectful of others, this type of incident would not happen.

Merica

A violent disrespectful student must have respect or face the consequences✌️

Maybe this will prove not every single incident involving police is racism.

I’m sure she’s the innocent one in all of this 👎🏻 I can only imagine the level of disrespect she showed to her teacher, her classmates, and the police before it reached this point. Put you’re thinking caps on people. Chicago

Dont start crying accept responsibility. U had a choice u took the macho way, now let the arm of public opinion and protest shame u and maybe get u fired. Think before u act. Its 2019.

She deserved it.....

Just imagine if the girl obeyed the teacher and put her phone away.... Yeah I know , that headline would be just as shocking

This is criminal!

Hello Mr. Mayor, you have greater problems than Jussie. Jussie is just a distraction to an out of control police department. If I had the money, I would pay the 150k you have assessed Jussie.

No one knows what happened that led up to that

Why did the school find it necessary to call the police on a child for such a minor infraction?

In terms of video surveillance, there is always this questioning about personal privacy policies and recording of law reinforcement, is it good/bad?. I believe in these kind of situations, you understand that it is primordial to have those. What they did here was absolutely wrong

You can go peaceably or.....you can fight with the Cops and get this.......But You're Goin!

And still ppl wants to get citizenship in America. NO🙄Thank you 🙏

Where do these people come from? Where do they go to the police academy and who allows them to behave like that? Ex Chicago mayor has a lot of explanations to do.

Old news, try being more current ABC

Good thing that wasn't a white cop they would burn that school down

That’s how the typical cop in Chicagoland behaves. The is outrageous and unacceptable under any circumstances even in the 3rd world countries.

I’m sure that’s all she did...

I seen a girl disrespect authority and kicked her way down.

Yeah ABC are you gonna mention why these officers reacted this way ? Or just film the bad police officer who did not tolerate disrespectful,verbal abuse,non compliant thug ? No that U don’t cover ! Shame on u CBS BLUE LIVES MATTER!

Absurd

Here's an idea. How about put down the cell phone when an authority figure at your school asks you to. Sheesh.

Was she a straight A student?

Now the Law cannot be stupid. I have great respect for the law but can't lose your temper over a rebellious youth.

May be wrong but it appeared to me one of the officers was beating the hell out of her. Why were police involved in the first place? If schools aren't capable of controlling students maybe they don't need students any more because they aren't teaching them anyway, or are they?

This shit because of a phone wow Now you see why people hate the police, ever Action always bring a reaction

She must have had good parents

Happens everywhere! Too many drugs in our high schools, but they drag a kid out of class over a phone, wow!

Teen age Hoodlums! No order, no teach! That Brat has gotten away with punk attitudes for her lifetime! Stop the inmates from running asylum!

Wont do that again

Damn That’s Not Ok ... WOW 😲...

They should have just tazed her. Oops. 🙊Did I just say that out loud?

I don’t think you should be tweeting child abuse videos.

That teacher might need to have a stern talking to as well.

Cruelty

Well done officers!

They are teaching a lessons of brutality & violance to students,she must be lucky those animals did not shoot her first,& athe stupid teacher that call these brutal & wild animals for a kid must be fired.

All I see is a girl falling down the stairs and then kicking, punching, scratching officers trying to help her. 😊

But they are outraged at Jussie smollet lying!

Disobey-Drag-away. No regard for rule or law. Disobey-Drag-away.

Why were these officers not fired and charged

Chicago has the highest murder rate in the country but this is what makes the news? WTF. If I was police I’d prollyreact same way. Scared she or one her people got a gun. Idc she 16

Hope they got fired and charged that's police brutality! Hold him accountable

Disgraceful!

...and all this happened because she was being a nice little gurl...allegedly.

Omg, police have to stop being so cruel

All this problem for the phone hahaha

этих жестоких и глуповатых спецназовцев спустя время так же жестоко будут задерживать избивать казнить и судить

These black kids brainwashed to think they are above reproach or, bruh, it’s racist. High narcissism. The “black community” is 100% responsible for being default racist and indoctrinating the youth.

Shaquille ONeal!

What are they supposed to do? Why didn't student just put phone away ...

Poor parenting. No discipline

3 flight of stairs and still wants to kick them in the balls and punch and kick. Your all genius as you want to give her a million dollars. Where is this money coming from dumb as* people wake up! realDonaldTrump take this 💩down as a officer is killed today this is there way!

Great...let’s get discipline back into the middle and high schools again...A lot of tough love will teach the young punks respect to educators and eventually all people...alittle kick in the asss will wake all up..

Let me guess you want her to be given a millions of millions of dollars that's how you reward your disobeying daughter at school to teach kids not to listen to their teachers and pay them millions. Who is paying this million not your president! You fools! realDonaldTrump

For being tazed, she sure is feisty!

This makes me just as happy as the mosque shooting

No offense but these kids deserve it. The kids at my school be yelling at the teachers, using them to give them free stuff, calling the teacher ugly and more awful names when the teacher say to put away phones. I feel bad for the teachers more than the students.

Disturbing and disgusting a scary reality for too many what is it about this profession that it ends so often like this, what standards are taught here?

99.9 of America know those kids need their teeth kicked in.

The news is dirt bags

Doing his job.. The females are the absolute worst !

I want Kim Foxx to “Jussie Smallest” these SROs and send them on their way

We talked about this last week...after teacher talked with kid for a while, then the school security probably talked next, then the police talked for a while.. finally out of frustration they got physical... considering there is a video, it was probably student’s plan all along

Sorry police officers of the world its the news that plays you as one of your officers die today. They got a president that locks up children and never see there parents again and schools get shot up but they don't say anything about trump. Keep doing your good work officers !

Awesome MAGA

MMOB:....saw this 's twt sometimes ago & I am wondering why it's being reposted again this particular time?! cc: all options on the table ~ including HydrogenBombSam🆗✔💯% + NuclearWipeoutSam🆗✔💯% + TotalAnnihilation🆗✔💯% of SatanistsUnited

Officer dies today and this is how the news brings up a old story for the respect of the family of the officer who was dispatched to help someone. Dirtbag news realDonaldTrump

Sure looks like the suspect was giving them hugs and kisses and wonder why some officers accidentally kill combatant suspects but you want them arrested. World you really need to open your eyes. Anyone laying or obeying officers commands get beat down then you got a problem!

She could have just put her phone away and avoided all that.

I don’t understand these kids! If a cop said to me you are being arrested, I’ll let them arrest me and sue afterward for false arrest if it was unwarranted. Why is she so belligerent? She could have gotten a terrible head injury being dragged by one leg down stairs

This is the result of parents not teaching their kids to respect authority. She probably lives with a single mother who left her baby daddy because the Democrats promise her more money as a single parent. Now the police have to be her father figure.

“Video shows Chicago cops doing what they lied and said they did not do to this little girl until video surfaced.” THERE, I fixed it for you ABC “NEWS”

Respect isn’t taught anymore in the home

The people who video this horrible and violent acts and DO nothing NEEDS to be ARRESTED. Full ✋

Why didn't the student choose to obey the teacher This is the result of irresponsible parenting.

As well they should.

No one should be treated this harshly under that threat level of violence over misuse of a cell phone at school. She’s going to win her case! excessiveforce

stop resisting .

When someone asked her to do something, maybe she should have done it. How did it escalate into what we saw? What actions by her promoted that response. At 16, personal responsibility for your actions comes into play.

‘these animals MUST be stopped!

why didn't she put the phone away? seems like a simple task...

Hijosdeputa asesinos

The charges are more likely trespassing, disorderly conduct, and/or resisting arrest. Whether she brushed her teeth in the morning or wouldn’t put away her phone became irrelevant when she was arrested or told to leave the space.

Schools should have cellphone jammers running during all school hours. Prevent calls, texts, internet data. School computers and phones use old fashioned lines.

Don't you have videos of police officers saving lives then only coming up with a girl punching and kicking and resisting officers. You news are dirty police should have way more videos as they save lives everyday but you show this as a officer dies today. Lowlife news

Over a phone. These cops get a little authority and it goes to their head. Additionally, they are treating the students like violent inmates. How do you expect the children to respect authority and why should they when these incidents are frequent in their life?

The RSO isn't there for disciplinary problems. They are there for criminal acts. The teacher should had been able to take the phone from her, then bust her ass if she complained. Once the RSO is involved, it is too late. A crime has been committed.

Kicking cops is a bad idea. (It pisses them off.)

I have so much respect for law enforcement but shit must stop. That gun and sheild means nothing if you lose the respect of the people.

Good

I guess officers should just stand around and take punches lmao idiot and crybaby people.

They’re “school resource officers”. Mental defectives who couldn’t cut it as a LEO, also, it’s Fn Chicago... no surprise.

Meanwhile...they are suing a celeb for money for less. Lol

Maybe you want officers just to get kicked all the time to the face like trumps father that assaulted a police officer and got arrested but you say nothing of that story. Look at abc news cheering as a girl kicks and screams at officers. Less see the video in the stairs!

They were fired, tried, & jailed, yes? Or, this is 2019 America. They were put on paid administrative leave until the outrage passes then put back on the street.

Deplorable!!!!

Maybe she will listen next time

Not fair at all

You will fall under a order of those in service to God.

🙄

Oh my, what will the black female mayor of Chicago think of this.

Leftist twitter couldn’t care less about what happens in Chicago. Wonder why🤔

My mom and dad taught me to listen to the police not act like a loser

The same police did the same to Jussie

Surely the CPD chief is as outraged about this as he is a celebrity wasting city resources, yes?

THANKS JUSSIE!!!

Video Shows Chicago Police Officers Punching And Dragging A 16-Year-Old Student Down StairsThe video appears to contradict the officers statements that the student initiated the violent encounter. Schools are mostly like prisons, so they might as well beat the students ... it doesn't make much difference .... 🙁 I guess Rahm Emmanuel & the Chief of Police wont be holding any angry press conferences to speak out against this brutality & lies by the police to cover what they did.
