Video released of 'education' officer choking teenager
Raw video:AUGUSTA,Ga.September 12/09.The incident that led to a school police officer being fired was caught on tape, and that video has now been released.
A Richmond County Board of Education officer was fired for choking a student after the Josey/Academy of Richmond County football game at ARC stadium.
The newly-released video shows the officer lunging towards the student, throwing him on
More..the ground, after the student appears to have said "I will punch you" to the officer.
The officer continues with several statements, including "I'm not your daddy, I will kill you," all the while holding the student by the throat on the ground.
Seconds later, two other officers approach, separate the two, and order the officer to stay back.
The officer was never ordered to take a drug test.
An appeal of the officer's firing was filed with the board yesterday. The board will hear arguments and decide whether to leave the termination in place or reinstate the officer.
Louis Svehla with the Richmond County School System tells News 12 the student involved in the incident is an eighth grader who attends the Laney 8th grade academy. Svehla says the principal "is aware of the incident and will be looking into any code of conduct violations by the student". Less..

in my freshman year of high school I had a math class with a teacher Mr. Sanders. in that class everyone was really rude and bad to the point of where even if you were a bad kid you felt like this was too far. anyways one day the teacher is trying to talk and everyone is being typical dickheads and Mr. Sanders (his name is important) says "alright everyone calm down, dont make me run this class like a general" so Matt S. chimes up "Or like a colonel.." and everyone laughs,, so Mr. Sanders comes over to Matt and puts his hand on his shoulder, and then takes a deep breathe, and starts to choke him right in the center of class. Matt is turning red. chairs and desks start clearing away from them, then as quick as it started Mr. Sanders realizes what he is doing. stops himself, tells Matt to go to the office. Funny part is Matt really had a knack for saying that one ****ed up thing at the wrong moment, so when Mr. Sanders talked to the parents, they understood, he didnt get fired or nothin, and Matt had to write an apology letter to Mr. Sanders :P

Power trips...that's all this country is about anymore. Go get your drivers license...pay a speeding ticket...power trips. Emergency room at the hospital...power trips....Target, Wal Mart...doesn't matter where you go, you're going to have to deal with some asshole on a power trip. This little kid was on a power trip...the cop was on a bigger one.
