San Antonio, TX — A San Antonio police officer is under an internal investigation this week after cellphone video shows him slam a handcuffed 16-year-old girl into the counter in her school office and then force her down as she screamed for help.

According to the girl and the San Antonio police department, the entire incident allegedly began over cussing.

The incident occurred during school hours on Wednesday after an SAPD officer was called to Por Vida Charter High School. The officer was not called to the school to arrest the girl. Instead, he was there to remove a Spanish-speaking woman from the office for refusing to leave.

The 16-year-old girl, Tiffany Rodriguez explained to KABB news that the woman did not speak English and she thought the officer was treating her unfairly. So, she spoke up about it.

“Yeah I was mouthing off, but I was mouthing off to help the lady out like translating Spanish, because he didn’t know Spanish,” said Rodriguez.

1. That's some sick shit, there.

That cop deserves to be in prison.

[byronius]

2. What would Andy Griffith do? Not this.

Serious consequences needed for this poorly trained mentally ill policeman.

[msongs]

3. another police union member who needs to become unemployed nt

[Mr.Bill]

4. He needs a lot more than unemployment.

He should go to prison for a very long time.

[PatrickforO]

12. So, why do you feel you need to cut down unions?

What's with that?

If you worked just 8 hours today, and no more than 40 this week; if you went into an office that was habitable and your working conditions were safe; if you are covered with Worker's Comp and Unemployment; if your 6 year old doesn't have to go to work in some sweatshop...then thank a union.

Because honest, hard-working people actually bled and died for your rights as a worker.

Didn't you know?

And, yeah, the union will protect this officer to a degree, but the officer can still be disciplined and even fired. So don't blame the union.

Maybe instead, let's talk about changing the law enforcement culture - body cams, exhaustive training, more community policing.

But lay off the unions.

[GeorgeHayduke]

14. This isnt about unions

I know feelings run deep and perspectives abound, but this is about a cop roughing-up a girl barely old enough to drive.

[Merlot]

16. Thanks for writing this about unions - I had the same thought

when I saw that comment - why the dig at unions? What needs to change is cop culture and hiring policies.

[Drahthaardogs]

19. Seriously

Anti-union = right wing talking point.

[DiverDave]

26. Sure, unions are a good thing

But when they defend unlawful behavior, people have every right to question them.
The "union" will fight for this idiot.
And that isn't right.
So, yeah, a right wing talking point

[Merlot]

30. How do you know "the union will fight for this idiot?"

Cops will fight for their own, unionized or not. Getting rid of unions would have absolutly NO effect on cops getting away with bad behavior.

[Bengus81]

22. Yeah sure,the UNION for SPD trains them to do this....

This POS cop is a rogue and needs to have his ass arrested and fired.-

[jaysunb]

5. Yet ANOTHER San Antonio " Charter School "

https://www.democraticunderground.com/10142042916

[OhNo-Really]

6. Barbarian! I hope they sue the school for not intervening.

That hold looks very painful.

[dawg day]

7. Tiffany, our new heroine!

That's someone who stands up for people and tries to protect them, you know like cops are supposed to do.

[sharedvalues]

8. Bet he watches Fox or listens to Limbaugh and other GOP propaganda

Anyone want to bet the cop watches GOP propaganda TV?

Fox spends a lot of time demonizing Hispanics.

If you want cops like this to change, the best thing to do is vote straight Dem. till at least 2040.

[dalton99a]

9. Kick

[iluvtennis]

10. unacceptable and this shithole got perverse pleasure out of what he did to this girl...

...Lock. Him. Up.

[CakeGrrl]

11. The Sheriff in FL who just lost two deputies

claimed they were killed because police are "demonized".

He needs to understand that protests (NOT "demonization" ) take place because police aren't held accountable for shit like this NEARLY as often as they need to be. Instead, police unions protect scum like this.

[PaulX2]

13. How Big Of Check

Will SAPD write that brutality victim?

Anyone want to guess?

[left-of-center2012]

15. Contact the Mayor and tell him how you feel

[Merlot]

17. I can't even watch this.

The still frame of the video is enough.

Horrific.

[oberliner]

18. Cellphone video is transforming our society

Holding more people accountable for their actions.

[Evergreen Emerald]

24. Will Smith said that racisim is not increasing, but that we are now recording it.

We are now recording it for the world to see.

[flying_wahini]

20. I often wonder if many of the cops that have these issues are taking Steroids and

This manifests in these 'roid rages'. It seems they are so quick to anger. ???

[LiberalArkie]

27. 'T' is very popular in this profession.

[truthisfreedom]

21. Terminate employment

[Bettie]

23. That poor kid

and the cop feels like he can do whatever he wants to since there is only a very small chance that he'll ever see any consequences for his actions.

[Joe Chi Minh]

29. Yes, the Eichmann type functionaries of the judicairy

are even more despicably, more murderously criminal, than the rogue police they encourage. That phrase, 'the banality of evil' springs to mind so often, when we tend to judge by appearances and are surprised at the seeming ordinariness of some of the worst people.

[heaven05]

25. typical POS in blue

contributing to the hate and meanness, in this trumpPOSpotus era, with unnecessary roughness. These 'protect and serve' robocops are truly out of control. She's lucky she wasn't AA or darker skinned, she'd be seriously hurt and dead or at the least in the hospital with serious or life threatening injuries or gunshot wounds.

[gopiscrap]

28. sue the fuck out of that cop and the city

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

31. I hope her shoulders heal. That looked like a lot of rotator cuff strain. nt

[muriel_volestrangler]

32. Locking - the hosts feel "The Free Thought Project" is not a reliable source suitable for LBN

Snopes, for instance, has a tag for it: https://www.snopes.com/tag/the-free-thought-project/
and says it "mostly posts stories geared towards stoking fear that the government is on the verge of becoming an authoritarian police state".

Please repost either from a reliable news source that ran this in the last 12 hours (they picked it up from http://foxsanantonio.com/news/local/caught-on-camera-handcuffed-16-year-old-dragged-by-sapd-officer , but that appeared on Thursday), or repost in GD. Thanks.
