THE BIG REVIEW: The violent confrontation

The incidents started when a Spring Valley High School teacher told the student to leave the classroom. When the student refused, Richland County Sheriff's Deputy Ben Field was called in. It's not clear what happened immediately before the cell phone video starts recording. But when it does, the school resource officer is heard telling the student to get up from her desk. "You're either going to come with me, or I'm going to make you," he says. The student doesn't budge. Fields tells her, "Come on, I'm going to get you up," and tries to pull her from the desk. She falls backward in her chair, but the officer doesn't stop. He lifts her body slightly off the ground and hurls her several feet across the room. The cop has been placed on administrative leave. The school resource officer has been told to not return to school pending an investigation by the department. Seriously, the department investigating their own officers? That would be like allowing the Mob to internally investigate the murders that their own hitmen commit.
