No Charges for NC Police Officer Who Slammed High School Student onto Floor
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

In North Carolina, a district attorney will not bring criminal charges
against a Wake County police officer who was caught on video picking up
a high school student and slamming her onto a concrete floor.
Fifteen-year-old Jasmine Darwin, who is African-American, suffered a
head injury after the assault by school resources officer Ruben De Los
Santos. The officer announced last week he is resigning from the police
force.
