A Columbia, Missouri high school resource officer is under investigation after throwing two female students to the floor during a student fight.
A video from a student's cell phone recorded Hickman High School resource officer Mark Brotemarkle subduing a student during Wednesday's fight.
Hickman principal Mike Jeffers says he's concerned about the incident and regrets what happened to a student who tried to help after two other girls began fighting. That girl says she was thrown across the floor and handcuffed.
The Columbia Daily Tribune says the video also shows Brotemarkle throwing another girl down when she tried to get up from the floor.
Columbia's interim police chief, Tom Dresner, issued a statement Friday asking the public to await a full investigation before reaching conclusions about the incident.
