A Rolesville (NC) police officer has been placed on administrative leave after a video was posted Tuesday on Twitter showing him slamming a female student to the floor.
The eight-second video shows Officer Ruben De Los Santos lifting the student into the air and dropping her to the floor before leading her away from a crowd of students at Rolesville High School. De Los Santos, the school resource officer assigned to the high school, is on paid administrative leave, said Rolesville Mayor Frank Eagles.
There is significant outrage online about the incident but a shorter video is being seen that does not encompass the violent student fight that occurred just before the police encounter.
