A Florida high school student went viral for body-slamming a police officer and is now paying a steep price.

In fact, a viral video shows him not only taking the cop to the ground but throwing a couple of punches. It all happened as a result of policeman Russell Ball attempting to break up a fight between two 14-year-olds. This student, 15, then wildly attacked the officer — despite the fact this student wasn’t involved in the fight.
What the video doesn’t show is the aftermath, in which school staff intervened and Ball placed the student in cuffs. The student was arrested for battery of a law enforcement officer and resisting an officer with violence.
15-Year-Old Student Body Slam Cop to Ground
That usually means some serious time in juvenile jail.
“What occurred to Officer Ball was despicable and should never have happened,” St. Cloud Police Chief Douglas Goerke said in a statement. “We will never tolerate behavior that targets our officers and will hold those accountable at the highest levels.”
Neither Ball nor the student were injured, per reports. The student is now being held at the Juvenile Assessment Center in Orlando. With footage of the attack making rounds, it’s likely the student will remain there for some time — as the cops and courts now have proof. Honestly, this fight was brutal. Obviously, the 14-year-old wasn’t thinking, or he was probably trying to show off. But man, that body slam was TOUGH. You know that police officer was hurt badly. Also, I bet he had so much satisfaction when he arrested the teenager.
How does a fifteen year old punk throw a trained LEO to the ground and land numerous punches to his face? And don’t tell me that the LEO was “observing standard procedure”. This criminal, no matter what his age, is an out of control menace with no regard or respect for anyone or anything. Life in prison or, better yet, a quick execution.
Crazy that you can just advocate for the execution of minors on the internet
Bet his parents are maga supporters
Parents need to whip the kids, stop trying to be their best friend.
Amazing how people ASSUME Soo much…Do you know the parents? Are your parents responsible for your flaws?? Your secret sins?? Or is it you don’t have any??
Get that beam out of your eye so you can see clearly to remove the more from another’s…..
That just goes to show you some B.L.D.M.
Just imagine if it was a black or brown kid. Kid would have been shot as soon as he walked towards the officer….smdh!
