VIDEO: Breaking News; IL: Abuse of Special Needs Student Caught on Tape

The following is a disturbing video of a School Police Officer brutalizing a 15 year old student at The Academy for Higher Learning; a school specifically for children with disabilities.

Watch as the officer throws him against a set of lockers, beats him, and prone restrains him on the floor. The student's offense? He failed to tuck his shirt in fast enough.

The teenager, who'd reportedly previously suffered a traumatic brain injury from being hit by a car and has a learning disability as a result, incurred numerous facial injuries, including a broken nose, because of the attack.
