Kenosha school officials released surveillance footage last week that shows an off-duty police officer kneeling on a 12-year-old girl’s neck in an attempt to subdue the child after a lunch hour fight broke out between students on 4 March.
The incident at Lincoln Middle School in Kenosha, Wisconsin, had previously been reported after a video captured on smartphone by someone in the cafeteria showed the 37-year-old off-duty officer trying to separate the brawling teens before he was knocked to the ground.
