The incident, which happened on Wednesday, led to an investigation by House leaders, according to our partners denverpost.
DENVER — Body-worn camera video from Colorado State Patrol troopers shows the removal of a student from the viewing area of the Colorado House chambers.
Officers got involved when one of the students stood up and began shouting about violence in schools. The body-worn camera video released Thursday picks up as security staff members were speaking to the students. One staff member can be heard in the difficult-to-decipher audio telling the students they can stay as long as they’re not disruptive.
A girl then stands up and shouts, “They’re trying to take away our First Amendment rights!” At that point, troopers told that student she needed to be removed from the chambers. The student didn’t move. Seconds later, troopers grab that student by the arm and hood of his jacket to remove him from the seats. An expletive-laden exchange ensues and troopers pick the student up by his arms and legs and carry him up the staircase to a concourse level outside of the chambers. The student claims several times that his jacket ripped during the confrontation.
