Attorney for former SRO Ben Fields releases statement
The attorney for Ben Fields, the recently terminated Richland County Deputy at the center of controversial cell phone video incident at Spring Valley High School in Columbia, released a statement late Wednesday.
The complete press release from Fields' attorney, Scott J. Hayes, is below.
"First and foremost, Mr. Ben Fields would like to acknowledge and personally thank all of those who have offered their support of his actions during Monday's incident that occurred at Spring Valley High School. The positive response and heartfelt support of Ben has been overwhelming.
"We believe that Mr. Fields' actions were justified and lawful throughout the circumstances of which he was confronted during this incident. To that extent, we believe that Mr. Fields' actions were carried out professionally and at that he was performing his job duties within the legal threshold.
"Mr. Fields welcomes the opportunity to address the particulars at the appropriate time. However, since this matter is presently under investigation with federal authorities, he is respectfully declining to make a statement at this time.
"Until such time, there will be no further public comments from Mr. Fields or on his behalf."
Fields was terminated by Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott Wednesday shortly after noon, after saying "Deputy Ben Fields did wrong this past Monday, and we're taking action for that."

That's the problem with these young niggas nowadays, think because they got a camera on they phone, they get a free pass for not acting like responsible citizens.
She wasn't acting up she just looked at her phone

Actually i have a home, but if having to have strangers living in your house pays the bills, i guess you do what you gotta do right, Brother?
Dont even do it to yourself sweetheart, you got nothing to impress me.

Nigga...and we're saying teenagers are stubborn and buck authority. This has happened since the first person became a teen. You as an adult do not counteract trivial shit like sitting in a desk/checking your phone with throwing said teen across a room. Did your parents do that to you every time you did something stupid like roll your eyes, talk back, stayed up past bed time?

Did not know she was an orphan
She's been through a lot in only year
Sad, most the time these kids be crying out for help
Yet we continue to cut funding to social programs that could possibly help the needy, than turn to law enforcement and other retarded means such as corporal punishment
deal with the fallout
Teen acts out...instead of getting to the root of the issue and maybe providing counseling...suspend kid...no let's arrest the kid...let's think about increasing police presence in our schools
Child left alone while the mother goes to an interview. ..we don’t look at the lack of affordable child care but instead rather arrest the mother and throw her jail
Gangs fight over territory...addict is caught with contraband ....let's them all in prison...the war on drugs wages on
Crazy

I thought it was her refusal to leave that warranted the dismount from her chair? I'm in college and i'm sure if I refused a professor's order to leave a lecture i can expect the same thing.

Actually I take that back. I should expect the cop to empty out the lecture to have some 1 on 1 time to get to the root of the problem.
