A video posted on social media earlier this month shows a police officer prepper-spraying and tasing Black high school student during a incident at a high school in a Dallas suburb.  The unnamed teen was apart of a protest at the school in support of a female schoolmate who has alleged she was groped and harassed on a school bus in October.

Hundreds came together in the hallways of the school in Little Elm, Texas on the Friday before Thanksgiving after news spread on social media that a sophomore named Jaelyn was placed on in-school suspension after she was discovered to be talking to the person she accused of sexual misconduct. The students walked out of their classes around 10:20 a.m. when one student witness said officers attempted to gather the students by linking their arms together and pushing the students back. However, the students broke through the human chain.

Chaplain Crystal Bates of the DFW Metro chapter of the NAACP commented on the videos calling them “very disturbing.” She added, “I’m concerned to know what are the policies for this district.”

Four students were arrested. Superintendent Daniel Gallagher later said that a large group of students in pursuit of others tried to break into an office during the protest.

The city has launched a website, LittleElmFacts, to give their side of what happened on Friday.

The city’s explanation about the Black teen who was tased and stretched out on the floor is under a section titled “What happened on the first floor?” It reads as follows:

“This is the scene captured on the videos currently circulating on social media and in the news. Officers were transporting the people arrested through the building. That’s when a third person – a male student wearing a light-colored warm-up jacket and pants — attempted to interfere with the arrest. This crime is a Class A Misdemeanor. Video shows that student aggressively advancing on the officers escorting one of the students from the second-floor incident. Based on this aggressive action, another officer used pepper spray to deter the assault. When the student continued to charge at the officer, the officer was forced to deploy a Taser device to stop further advances.”
