Another officer slamming a kid to the ground.

Is this a contagious things for officers lately?.

A Florida police school resource officer slams a 13-year-old boy to the ground and twists his arm for over 40 seconds in a video released Tuesday.

Investigators said the Kissimmee Middle School student did nothing to provoke the takedown, and officer Mario Badia was placed on leave and arrested in May after the run-in earlier that month, according to the Kissimmee Police Department. Badia, 41, pleaded not guilty to battery and child abuse last month, the Orlando Sentinel reported.

The video investigators viewed of the incident before charging Badia went public ahead of Badia’s trial later this year, according to Angela Starke, the spokeswoman for the Ninth Judicial Circuit State Attorney’s Office. Badia found out he has been fired from the force Friday, Starke said.

The one-sided clash between the officer and the boy, who is African-American, happened months before other school officers faced discipline for their treatment of students.

At least they did the right political decision and fired him. Not like the other cop that got 5 paid days off.

His kids should ask to move out, just in case.

Does that video show the complete story? What was being said. I doesn't look good but I can't pass judgment without the full story.

Now....if every video of every officer attacked by suspects was aired at the same rate....would there be any sympathy for officers? Remember, the majority is usually pretty good with a few bad apples thrown in.

Sure, the boy was probably telling him to fuck off but doesn't give the officer the right to use physical force.
