The New Mexico police officer accused the girl of assaulting a school administrator. "This proved not to be true,” his police chief later said.
A New Mexico police officer is off the force after body camera footage captured him slamming an 11-year-old girl to the ground while ignoring school officials’ commands to release her.
The officer had been assisting school administrators in trying to get her to cooperate when she appeared to push past a man identified as the school principal, prompting assault allegations by Christensen, the video shows. The administrators repeatedly asked the officer to allow the girl to stand, with one man telling him: “We are not going to use excessive force to get this done.”Farmington Police Chief Steve Hebbe, in a statement on Sunday, said an internal affairs investigation found that there were policy violations and Christensen’s claim of assaulting the school administrator was “proven not to be true.”
