a south carolina state representative is calling for this deputy to be arrested but as we know with these cases, there s always more to the story. when it comes to the richland school district, officials have now banned officer ben fields from the district in response to the ongoing investigation. but when you watch this, what is the discretion needed for an alleged obstinant student to be removed from the classroom? what s the training? the training is a matter of the richland county sheriff s department. our level of responsibility is advocating for our students. no student should be treated in a manner begetting what we saw on screen. it s reprehensible. it was egregious on the officer s part. and our level of responsibility is making sure that this officer is not returning to any school in district 2. i trust the way our school district has been handling the situation and trust that it will go forward at same.
