We all know that in general American cops are absolute assholes – I mean they’re always shooting people for no good reason FFS – but the guy in this video might actually be the pinnacle.

His name is Ben Fields and he works for the South Carolina police department and he is beating the absolute shit out of a female student in the video below. It’s only short so we’ll give you some context before you watch it, provided by a classmate called Aaron Johnson:

The girl was asked by the teacher Mr. Long to leave the classroom and go to the discipline office, she ignored him, then an administrator came in and asked her if he needed to get the resource officer. She ignored him and then the officer came in. He asked if she was gonna go or if he had to make her go. Then he grabbed her and pulled her out of her desk and she fell on the ground with the desk still on her. He then threw her across the room and then got on top of her. Another student tried to stand up for her, which also led to her arrest.

Jesus. I mean it does sound like the girl was being an asshole to her teachers but I don’t think there’s any need for this kind of reaction. But then again this is America. Says it all.

Fields has been placed on leave pending the results of an investigation. Let’s hope the prick loses his job but given what normally happens in these situations you wouldn’t really bet on it.
