New Mexico police officer resigns after wrestling 11-year-old girl

+6

Officer Zachary Christensen stepped down after an internal use-of-force investigation was launched following the August 27 incident

A New Mexico police officer has resigned after body camera footage shows him using excessive force on an 11-year-old girl who allegedly took too much milk from the lunchroom. 

Farmington police said Sunday that officer Zachary Christensen stepped down after an internal use-of-force investigation was launched following the August 27 incident at Mesa View Middle School.

The footage shows the middleschooler brushing past the principal following a verbal confrontation. Christensen is then seen pulling the girl's backpack off and wrestling her to the ground as he tries to handcuff her.   

 

Farmington Police Chief Steven Hebbe said the behavior seen in the video did not comply with department standards and emphasized that 'there's no excuse for the way this girl was treated.'

Christensen reportedly said he tried to arrest the girl because 'she went straight to the cafeteria, she took more milks than she was supposed to, she threw a milk on the ground. I mean, they try to say something she just walks off.'

That kid needs a good whipping. No respect for authority.

That being said, I'm not sure tackling her to the ground was a good idea.

Over milk? There must be more to it than that. She's prob been a big problem elsewhere and this is the only part we see. Apparently milk was the last straw.

 I agree, I wouldn’t be surprised if this was the last stra. I have some friends who are teachers and some of the stories they tell me are sad.  This girl obviously has no respect for authority and I doubt that this was her first time she showed disrespect.

Yeah, I have friends and family who teach, and the kids are horrid a lot of the time. They are cursed out, hit, temper tantrumed at and sometimes even in an unsafe position that they can't do anything about because they are in trouble if they say/do anything. One teacher pushed a kid away who was hitting her with something (stick?) and she got suspended for touching a kid. I don't know why people go into teaching.

  Yes, here they can’t touch them and if they run out of class they could only guide them back into schoo, if one child is throwing a huge tantrum the teacher has to take the whole class out, at least in my area, doesn’t do any good calling the parents either.  The neglectfull parents are calling the shots it seem.
