And in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, city and state police say they will
investigate a school resource officer's tackling of a 14-year-old high
school student. Eight teenagers and two adults were arrested Thursday
after gathering to protest the tackling. Cellphone video shows one
student lying face-down on the floor as an officer grabs a second
