It’s not enough that Deputy Ben Fields, the police officer involved in the arrest of a disruptive student, was fired. It’s never enough. Now the unnamed student has a “Go Fund Me” page set up by her attorneys. As of midnight in the Eastern Time Zone, the monies raised amounted to nearly $42,500.

Why does she need money? According to her attorney, Todd Rutherford of the Rutherford Law Firm, located in Columbia, South Carolina:

Jane Doe was the victim of police brutality. While seated in her desk, doing her math work, former Deputy Ben Fields forcibly removed her from the desk by choking her, flipping the desk over while she was still seated, and slinging her six feet across the classroom by her clothes. As a result, she suffers injuries to her ribs, back, neck, shoulder; a broken arm, and abrasions to her face. The funds raised will be put towards medical costs, educational expenses, and any other expenses she has to endure. (Bold face mine).

Yes, dear readers! The poor darling was just quietly doing her math homework when a racist cop burst into the classroom and brutalized her. She needs to collect money for her “broken arm” — which sounds about as specious as the false claim that she was an “orphan.” (Richland County sheriff Leon Lott — who fired Fields, incidentally — claimed ‘she might have had a rug burn . . . but she was not injured.’) And “educational expenses”? What “educational expenses?” Isn’t public high school free? Or is this to go into a college fund, which is puzzling, since I question whether she is college material.
