Watch: Teen Beats On Police Officer While He Tries To Break Up A Fight

The MSM and Social Media have been making police officers look like the bad guys and you can tell that they don’t get the respect they deserve by this incident. Resource Officer Zapico was trying to break up a fight between some high school girls and was kicked in the head by one of the combatants.

“A school student was caught on cellphone video kicking a school resource officer in the face as he held down another student after breaking up a fight, police said.

The video, which was posted on Instagram and viewed thousands of times, shows the chaos and commotion Thursday at Homestead Senior High School. An arrest report says Officer Zapico was breaking up a fight among four students when he was kicked by another student, identified as 18-year-old Shardae Pittman.

The initial fight began when a couple of girls confronted the student seen in the video being held down by Zapico. Her mother identified her as 17-year-old Diamond Braddy.

Sharnell Lee said Pittman was apparently trying to help her daughter. Pittman is seen in the video trying to pull Zapico off Braddy, but was pulled away by a man who appears to be a school employee. She then takes a kick at Zapico’s face. “

Diamond Braddy’s mom had the following to say about the incident.

“She’s the victim,” her mother said. “Of course she is the victim. Why did the officer have her on the ground the way he did? The officer dragged my daughter and everything. Who was there to defend my daughter?”

Pittman remains in jail as of Thursday night on a $5,500 bond. Attorney information was not available.

“It is a shame that while this officer was attempting to break up a fight and maintain a safe learning environment, this adult student acted in a cowardly way rather than fall in line with MDCPS values,” MDCPS Chief of Police Edwin Lopez tweeted.

This is ridiculous the Officer was just trying to break up a fight, he should not be harassed for doing his job. Braddy’s mom should be thanking the officer for breaking up the fight and apologizing for the poor behavior. But in our current climate apparently, students can’t do any wrong.
