Student in Wheelchair Beaten By Security Guard, Second Suspect Named
LatestLast week security footage of a harrowing incident at Oakland High School in Oakland, California made the news. In the video, a student in a wheelchair is seen being beaten by a school security guard and then dumped out of his chair. Now new video has emerged that shows that two security guards abused Francisco Martinez.
The second video shows the initial abuser, Marchell Mitchell, as well as a second person, Shalandra Cotton. In the video Martinez resists the guards’ attempts at keeping him calm outside of an elevator. Halfway through the video, Martinez is thrown out of his wheelchair and kicked in the head. Then he is dragged into the elevator. The entire event took place because Martinez was either too slow or didn’t want to go to class when he was told. After the guards and Martinez exited the elevator, Martinez spit at Mitchell which prompted the attack in the initial video that was released.
