“We don’t release video of incidents. It’s a privacy issue. Anybody involved in the investigation will have access to them,” Salter said adding that Moore is not included as being involved in the investigation.
Both Montgomery Public Schools and Montgomery Police Department are investigating the incident, Salter said.
MPD Lt. Denise Barnes said it has been turned over to the investigations unit to determine if it was intentional or accidental."
Those of us who understand FERPA and privacy issues understands it as written however, no one from Montgomery Public School System ever asks anyone who enters their facilities or grounds for permission to be video recorded and we are. So the privacy premise seems weak. Technology has allowed IT Departments everywhere with the capability to blacken out the faces of those included in videos who are not a part of a raised issue. In most other states as many of us have witnessed on national news, media, and Social Media the video recordings of students involved with Teachers,Principals, Police, and School Resource Officers where students faces were not blackened out. Why is Montgomery Public School System continuing to uphold wrong doing within the system. Again I ask, how many children will have to be raped, beaten, handcuffed, terrorized, criminalized before the State of Alabama Department of Education steps in and clean house to save the children? Each time that a rape or student beaten and or arrested happens the student is criminalized before Due Process is ever considered.
I have read several of the comments on Facebook as I was tagged in the photo of the student, Devonte Moore, who was excessively beaten. There is no justification to a beating when the student was already known. The proper protocol was to write him up not chase him and beat him unto a pulp. I don't condone skipping, disrespectful children however beating a child will not rectify any situation. I was appalled to learn that the same Security Officer was at work the very next day. It is just like when I had the parents to report to you all that their child(ren) were illegally stripped searched last year. Supt Allen and Supt Bice waited and did not take immediate action. Not until the media is alerted do the kids have some sort of partial protection until MPS hush money or threats are given to parents who want to take full action but because MPS has a marriage to MPD by way of de facto Superintendent and Mayor Todd Strange nothing happens.
If Parents/Guardians were guaranteed that no retailiation would ensue they would do more but when you hold unpaid tickets over a Parent/Guardian's head so that he/she can not sign a warrant that is egregious and mob like.
So look at the pictures of these Black Students who are often Criminalized, beaten, handcuffed, and terrorized even before Due Process is given to them, why are we waiting to give this grown man any type of Due Process when this officer's reputation is known to beat children (allegedly and I say this because of legal reason but we know it is the Truth). When the Spec Ed Student was beaten with a lunch box by a white teacher who has not ever been punished yet he suffers traumatic brain damage, his brother who was beaten by numerous School Resource Officers and Police given him a concussion, numerous 6th,7th,and 8th grade boys were forced to be stripped to their underwear (if they wore them) and socks last year by SRO Willie Knight, as well as most recently another Black Spec Ed male student was handcuffed by black SRO Charlie Knight while the white MPD Officer S.W. Campbell pointed a taser at him (white officer did not refute it in court) are just a few of the incidents that occur and instead of firing the SROs and MPD officers involved you all transfer them to other schools to continue to beat, brutalize, criminalize, and retailiate against students especially Black and Special Needs children. Here are a few who still are working in Montgomery Public School System that have reputations just as bad as Officer Aarington, Officer S.W. Campbell,MPD Officer Officer Snyder, MPD Officer Officer Charlie Knight, Jr, School Resource Officer Officer Richard Johnson, Supervisor, School Resource Officer.
I am nicely asking that this man be removed from all schools until after the investigation happens. He needs to be arrested for child abuse because we know that if a parent sends a child to school with a mark on them DHR is called immediately and a parent/guardian is arrested until after a full investigation so what's the difference?
Look at the picture and tell me how this child was not excessively beaten. Look at his face and tell me he just happenstance run into a locker. Read the comments and posts that I was tagged in with other Parents giving their accounts with this same officer and others within MPS. It is beyond comprehension why MPS continues to allow pedophiles and child abusers work for them. It is also hilarious each time that I make a post about MPS and their wrongdoings my Facebook page is "reported" and blocked for 30 days. As long as the children are being violated the Truth will be posted by me or others who stand for justice.
bruised wrists
I know MPS has already perused my page but it is a Public page, I keep it Public so that maybe just maybe someone from out of the Bible belt States will offer some sort of help for the children. If I had a whiteboard it wouldn't be large enough for the connections of individuals affiliated with MPS or the State DOE employees which in my opinion is why true justice is never given.
How long will we have to wait until this man is fired or removed from the school in which the child must go? If Devonte was a white student the entire story would be different, Officer Aarington would have been fired on the spot.
