A sheriff's deputy caught on security video twice body-slamming a child under the age of 12 at a North Carolina middle school was fired on Monday morning and state investigators are deciding whether to file criminal charges against him, officials said.
"When we first saw the video ... we were shocked," Brame told ABC News."I don't expect my deputy or any deputy, or law enforcement in North Carolina to carry out their duties in that way."In the school surveillance video, the deputy, a school resource officer, is seen walking with the child down a hallway when suddenly he lunges at the boy, lifts him off the ground and slams him to the floor on his back.
"This is just a stunning kind of incident. I don't see any justification at this point for that officer's behavior and action," Waters said. "I don't know what was said," Waters told ABC News."I don't think anything that was said or anything like that could justify his action. I don't think that will be relevant to any determination."
