Omaha police have temporarily reassigned an officer after a video posted on social media that shows the officer punching a high school student while breaking up a fight. Correspondent Andrew Spencer reported that a student posted video of school resource officer helping break up a fight but then the video shows the officer throwing punches and subduing a student to the floor. The fight happened near the end of the school day at Millard South High School in Omaha, Nebraska. High school senior Andreas Dunn said some students caught the incident on their cell phones, “What people naturally do when they see fights: just stand and stare, pull out their cameras, start recording…” Millard School District released a statement, saying in part, “We are grateful no students or staff were seriously hurt.” The video does not reveal comprehensive coverage of the incident. The school district and the police department are continuing their investigation.
