Short answer:

I have seen the video to this story and I was scared when I saw this. After reading the story it seems the girl didn't do anything illegal or bad enough to have to get thrown. I have never seen a officer act like that to a child and it scared me to see that. I do think that police brutality is a problem in the country because every once and a while there will be a police man or women who gets to caught up in having power and they decide to take advantage of that. Some will also become to cautious and they will brutally hurt or injure a person just because they look suspicious. I think racism is a big factor in the issue of the law. People have been labeled by the color of their skin and some people automatically still think of it in that way and they can't help it, so police men or women can be more attacked to seeing suspicions with people who have colored skin because of the way they were labeled. I believe sometimes social media and technology can be the cause of a illegal or lawful issue, but sometimes like in this case it can be helpful. Cell phones allow you to be able to call for others when you need help and get proof like how a student did for this girl in the situation so they can have justification. If no one had recorded the situation that deputy may not have been fired and he could have done what he did to that one girl to other people. I do think it is a good thing that this story and others like it get exposed because with out these videos some people could get away with bad stuff and never get caught. Not getting caught one time could cause them to try to do what they did over and over again and again.
