Cary, N.C. — A video is circulating showing a school employee placing a knee on a student’s neck during an altercation.
This happened at Panther Creek High School in Cary. Wake County Schools has suspended the employee.
Principal of Panther Creek Dr. Greg Decker said In a letter to parents that staff responded to a fight between two students during lunch on Tuesday.
Panther Creek's Principal called the actions in the video "deeply concerning."
Parents say reading the email gave them one impression on what happened, but seeing the actual video left parents and students deeply concerned.
The video, captured by a student, shows a Panther Creek staff member placing a knee on a students neck during the altercation.
It’s the same tactic many police departments across the country banned after Officer Derek Chauvin used this approach killing George Floyd.
“It is hard to see that and make the connection. That is immediately what it though of, his knee is on his neck. Do you know what that reminds me of?” said Panther Creek student Jayla Walker.
Walker is a senior at Panther Creek, and president of a student activist group called Teens Dreams.
The group started in response to George Floyd’s murder.
Thursday, she had more questions than answers after seeing the actions of the school employee toward a student.
"How are these people we lookup to and we are suppose to feel safe around? How does this occur? Everyone is going crazy right now I think,” said Walker.
The district suspended the employee and Cary police were called in to assist in reviewing the video.
“A suspension to me is just not enough. He needs to be removed from the school and they need to look into criminal charges. He could of injured the student,” a mother told WRAL News anonymously.
At last check the school employee has not been arrested or charged.
