We demand that Officer Ben Fields be immediately fired and prosecuted for brutally and maliciously attacking a black female high school student who posed no threat.
Why is this important?
Multiple videos show school Police Officer Ben Fields brutally attacking a peaceful black female high school student. Officer Fields has a history of attacking students, who say they’ve complained about him for years. He’s facing a lawsuit from another student, and he was sued by a couple who he attacked and arrested without provocation. This time, his violence was caught on camera.
The number of police in schools has skyrocketed, and every year thousands of students – disproportionately black – are needlessly arrested and abused. Local police say they’re “investigating” Officer Fields' brutality. But videos of what happened provide more than enough evidence he committed a crime.
Join us in demanding that Officer Fields be fired and prosecuted immediately and that all charges be dropped against students already victimized by Fields.
