Video captures fight at Missouri high school

COLUMBIA, Mo. -- A Columbia high school resource officer is under investigation after throwing two female students to the floor during a student fight.

A video from a student's cell phone recorded Hickman High School resource officer Mark Brote­markle subduing a student during Wednesday's fight.

Hickman principal Mike Jeffers said he's concerned about the incident and regrets what happened to a student who tried to help after two other girls began fighting. That girl said she was thrown across the floor and handcuffed.

The Columbia Daily Tribune said the video also shows Brotemarkle throwing another girl down when she tried to get up from the floor.

Columbia's interim police chief, Tom Dresner, issued a statement Friday asking the public to await a full investigation before reaching conclusions about the incident.
