“A Texas school police officer has been placed on paid leave after video surfaced of him slamming a middle school girl to the ground.
A video uploaded to YouTube on Tuesday shows a San Antonio Independent School District uniformed officer lifting a struggling 12-year-old girl in the air. He then appears to fling the girl, identified as Janissa Valdez by the Washington Post, face-down onto a brick walkway.
“She landed on her face,” a student can be heard saying.
The officer responded after two students began arguing outside Rhodes Middle School on March 29, school district spokeswoman Leslie Price said.
“The video is very disturbing,” Price said, adding that the department has launched a formal investigation into the incident. “The officer was placed on leave this morning.”
