North Carolina high school student arrested after assaulting his teacher as students in the class filmed and laughed (video)

The teen is now facing three misdemeanor charges for assault on a government official. Unlike many other school assault cases, the district attorney launched an investigation into the assault within an hour after the video was posted.

“Both Sheriff Kimbrell and myself spent the morning at Parkland High School speaking with the teacher,” said Forsyth county DA Jim O’Neil. “This isn’t about the color of your skin, this isn’t about your political affiliation, today is about one thing.

Sending a message to the teachers out there, that law enforcement and the District Attorney’s Office support you, we care about the job you do.”
