An Akron, Ohio, Police Department school resource officer has been requested to not return to Firestone Community Learning Center after surveillance video captured him punching a student in the head multiple times. The incident occurred on October 16 “during morning routine metal detector procedures,” according to a news release form Akron Public Schools. “There was an interaction between a student and the SRO, which ultimately resulted in the officer using force against the student,” the release said. The student was instructed multiple times to go through the metal detector, which initially “glowed red and beeped after he went through,” according to a police report obtained by CNN affiliate WEWS. The report indicates the officer said, in the interest of keeping the school safe, he wanted to make sure the student didn’t have any weapons. The incident escalated when the student appeared to try to push by two officers, who immediately began attempting to detain the student, surveillance video showed.
