High School Girl Has Jaw Broken by School Cop After Being Falsely Accused of Having Mace--pictures
Tampa, FL — Several of 17-year-old High School student Brittany Overstreet’s classmates accused her of being in possession of mace. After the accusation, which was proven to be false, Brittany claims that she was severely beaten by a school resource officer.
Overstreet said she was slammed against tables, suffered a broken jaw, lost consciousness and ended up in the hospital.
More than a dozen protesters gathered in downtown Tampa on Monday to demand that the charges be dropped against Overstreet.
“I’m thankful. It is very emotional,” Overstreet said in regards to the protest.

ABC Action News reports:
According to criminal reports, three students approached the school’s assistant principal alleging Overstreet threatened to spray them with mace or pepper spray.
In the school’s cafeteria, the report says, Overstreet was approached by the female assistant principal and her bag was confiscated.
Some sort of altercation ensued and the school resource officer was called.
The officer involved in the altercation was officer Manuel Santana. He wrote in his report that Overstreet refused to comply with his demands.
“I quickly went to my pouch to handcuff and attempted to grab her hands and cuff her,” Santana wrote. “Overstreet became more aggressive when she realized my intent and became more combative, kicking Mr. Henderson, flailing and pushing at me. I decided to grab Overstreet by her ankles/calve area to stop her from kicking. I proceeded to, with the assistance of Mr. Henderson, bring Overstreet to the ground, where it was more of an advantage to control her and handcuff her.”
That’s when Overstreet said she was slammed against tables, resulting in her broken jaw.
According to conflicting reports, Santana, grabbed Overstreet’s ankles and snatched her legs out from under her. In the attack, Overstreet was slammed twice by the officer, first against a table and then onto the ground. Another student reports that Overstreet was slammed even after being handcuffed.
“It was excessive force,” said Crystal Wilson, a protester. “There was no mace found on Brittany and they took and slammed her twice, fractured both sides of her jaw. That girl is suffering through trauma for what? An allegation?”

I AM DISGUSTED BY THIS EVENT!
In the reform I promise all that unfair gestures will result in GOD’S PRISON AND PUNISHMENT! No worries I know who he is and his family along with many alliances joining such causes!
This happens because fathers don’t respond.
Should a cop break my daughter’s jaw, it will make the news. My response will make bigger news.
That’s horrible, what is wrong with people! My gosh you don’t just go up to something from someone especially a purse/bookbag. I don’t care if your a school official, school resource officer, board member or another student. That is called stealing, especially if that person is not letting go. Then to assault the poor girl on top of it; if they were that sure she had something why didnt they just get a warrant. Hope they enjoy their law suit. She will deserve every dime.
I am a white guy but if the police do not police them selves, the people will. What is really sad is that the good cops do nothing.
Does that there are none or all of them in the pack and are afraid. My guess is yes to both. My guess is that there are a lot of men who will be forced to deal with them at some point in time. My question is, when is enough, enough? My guess is when it becomes main stream.
By that when the people know they can no longer ignore it anymore.
The internet exposes a few bad cops but they are no all bad. I know they feel helpless too.
The good cops should work with us in a way that will not cause them to loose their jobs. The how is the question.
