High School Cop Investigated for Involvement in Girl Fight

From LiveLeak:

Officials in Missouri are looking into a high school fight that was captured on video by a student.

The fight broke out Wednesday between a couple of girls at Hickman High School in Columbia, Missouri.

As the fight escalated school resource officer Mark Brotemarkle threw one of the girls to the floor and dragged another student a few feet before pinning her to the ground.

The first student grabbed by the Brotemarkle claimed that she was trying to break up the fight.

Officer Brotemarkle has been removed from the high school pending an investigation.

The incident led to two student arrests. Until the investigation is complete, Brotemarkle will not be at Hickman, Principal Mike Jeffers said. The decision to remove Brotemarkle from the position was made by the Police Department.

Following the fight, Demetria Stephens, a Hickman parent, began collecting signatures for two petitions, one to remove Brotemarkle from his position as Hickman’s resource officer and one to remove him from the Police Department.

As of 5:30 p.m. Saturday, she had 46 Hickman parent and student signatures on the Hickman petition and 48 signatures on the petition to remove him from the Police Department. She said about five people signed both petitions.

Stephens said she began the second petition because the goal of getting Brotemarkle removed from Hickman is not enough.

“He’s going to be somewhere else with the same type of behavior,” she said.
Stephens said the fight on Wednesday was not the first time she heard of problems.

In the video, Diamond Thrower, the student in the yellow shirt, was thrown to the ground and handcuffed.

Thrower had been trying to mediate the fight and was not personally involved, said mentor Ray Magruder, founder of the Rising Star Sports Association.

Magruder said Thrower had been taken to the hospital for neck and back problems Wednesday night.
She did not attend school Thursday or Friday due to continued pain, Magruder said.

Promise of thorough investigation
In the release issued Friday, Interim Chief Tom Dresner said Brotemarkle “historically has the support of the (Hickman) staff and has, on many occasions, prevented small problems from becoming big ones.”

Dresner said in the release that a thorough and impartial investigation will be conducted. The Police Department could not be reached for further comment.
