Going Wayyyy To Far: Cop Gets Fired After This Rough Arrest Of A Special Need Student On The Bus!
"A Sarasota Sheriff's deputy was fired after he
aggressively threw a special-needs student onto a
school bus seat and threatened to shock her with a
Taser during a videotaped confrontation on the
bus. The deputy, Mark Perrin, was fired Wednesday
after an internal investigation spurred by a
videotape that shows him snatching a 17-year-old
girl from her seat and flinging her across an
aisle while others on the bus looked on in shock.
Perrin also used profanity during the episode,
authorities said. The situation began when an aide
on the bus called 911 to say that the student
threw a plastic bottle, punched her in the stomach
and kicked her wrist. The bus, from Sarasota High
School, pulled over at Cattlemen Road and
Cattleridge Boulevard about 3 p.m. on Dec. 15.
Authorities say that Sarasota County firefighters
were the first to arrive, and that the aide and
driver remained on the bus as the girl refused to
get out of her seat. When Perrin shows up, he sees
the teenager in her seat a few rows back. He asks,
"What's your problem, girl?" The teenager, who has
not been named in reports, is told to stand up,
but refuses. "I'll snatch your ass out of that
seat," the deputy says. He then grabs the teenager
by her sweatshirt and violently throws her across
the aisle and face down into another seat. The
deputy climbs on top of the teenager's back and
struggles to restrain her. "Put both hands behind
your back before I Tase you," he says. The girl
can be heard screaming while others on the bus
back away. She later told internal affairs
investigators that she could hear her sweat shirt
ripping and that she was surprised the deputy
grabbed her out of the seat."
