8-year-old boy with disabilities assaulted and pinned facedown by Wyoming school officer, lawsuit says
An 8-year-old boy with ADHD was allegedly pinned facedown on the ground and told "I should be taking you to jail!" by a school resource officer at his Wyoming elementary school, leaving him bleeding on the face and traumatized, a new federal lawsuit claims.
The second grade boy, who was identified by the initials J.D., did nothing to provoke the use of force, according the complaint filed Nov. 27 in the U.S. District of Wyoming said.
The incident unfolded on Feb. 15, 2022, at Freedom Elementary School, located at the Francis E. Warren Air Force Base in Cheyenne, where J.D.’s father was serving.
The suit was filed against Deputy Benjamin Jacquot and his employer, the Laramie County Sheriff's Office. It claims the department and officer violated the boy's rights and a state policy against use of prone-position restraints in schools.
After the incident, Jacquot allegedly deleted portions of the assault from his body camera and pulled the boy's private school records, but was never disciplined by his department, the complaint contends.

This cop should never, ever be around humans or animals. Ever.
