威斯康星州基诺沙的一名警察辞去了他在当地学区的下班职务，目前正在调查他在制止一名年轻女孩参与的打斗时用来约束她的策略。
警官Shawn Guetschow是基诺沙联合学区的兼职安保人员，在一段病毒视频显示他于3月4日在林肯中学试图阻止一场打斗时用膝盖顶着一名12岁女孩的脖子后，他受到了攻击。
基诺沙联合学区的首席沟通官Tanya Ruder向ABC新闻证实，Guetschow于3月15日辞去了他在学区的职务。
基诺沙警察中尉约瑟夫·诺萨利克周三向美国广播公司新闻证实，Guetschow仍然受雇于警察局，目前正在调查中值班。
在他的辞职信中，美国广播公司新闻获得了一份副本，Guetschow引用了公众对该事件的关注给他的家人带来的“精神和情感压力”，以及他所说的他从该地区获得的“缺乏沟通和/或支持”。
这一事件是周二学校董事会会议上激烈讨论的主题，一些社区成员呼吁该地区暂停与基诺沙警察局的合同，而其他人则认为学校需要警察来保护学生的安全。
12岁女孩的父亲Jerrel Perez在上周的新闻发布会上公开反对警官的策略，并呼吁对他提起刑事诉讼。
“她很丢脸。她受到了精神创伤。佩雷斯周三说:“每天我都会听到，‘爸爸，我不想去上学。’”。
“这让我很难过，因为我没能去帮助她，”他补充道。“我感到无助。”
警方告诉ABC新闻，两名参与斗殴的学生被指控行为不检，并被提交少年法庭。
代表女孩和她父亲的律师德鲁·德维尼在周三的新闻发布会上说这家人计划采取法律行动反对警察和学校。
鲁德告诉美国广播公司新闻，基诺沙联合学区无法提供更多信息。
“由于这一事件可能会导致诉讼，该地区目前不会提供进一步的细节，”她说。
ABC新闻获得了一段由该校一名学生拍摄的事件视频，视频显示该官员对两名学生在食堂午餐时间发生的打斗做出了回应。
这个12岁的女孩，由于是未成年人，她的名字没有透露，推了那个警察，然后他在聚集观看的学生的叫喊声中把她按在地上。
片段长10秒，不清楚之前或之后发生了什么。
“我们继续调查，密切关注事件的整个范围。我们目前没有进一步的更新，”基诺沙警察局周六在一份声明中说。
上周，基诺沙联合学区发布了该事件的学校监控视频的编辑版本。
在视频中，Guetschow将女孩的头推到地上，然后似乎跪在她的脖子上超过20秒。

佩雷斯对警官的策略表示愤怒，并将这幅图像与乔治·弗洛伊德(George Floyd)相提并论。乔治·弗洛伊德是明尼苏达州的一名男子，在一名警官将膝盖放在他的脖子上近9分钟后遇害。
在弗洛伊德死后推动警察改革的浪潮中，威斯康辛州禁止2021年6月，除了在危及生命或警察必须自卫的情况下，使用警察锁喉。扼颈包括各种警察颈部约束。
DeVinney本月早些时候告诉ABC新闻，女孩“头部和颈部受伤，目前正在接受治疗。”
他说，既然威斯康星州已经禁止了掐脖子，那么“这一事件就不应该发生。”
“这个家庭希望找出发生这种事情的原因，这样它就不会再发生在别人的孩子身上，”他补充道。
Kenosha officer accused of kneeling on girl's neck resigns from school district
A police officer in Kenosha, Wisconsin, resigned from his off-duty role at the local school district amid an investigation into the tactics he used to restrain a young girl while stopping a fight in which she was involved.
Officer Shawn Guetschow, who was working part-time as a security officer for the Kenosha Unified School District, came under fire after a viral video appeared to show him putting his knee on the neck of a 12-year-old girl at Lincoln Middle School on March 4, while trying to stop a fight.
Guetschow resigned from his role with the school district on March 15, Tanya Ruder, chief communications officer for the Kenosha Unified School District, confirmed to ABC News.
Kenosha police Lt. Joseph Nosalik confirmed to ABC News on Wednesday that Guetschow is still employed by the police department and is currently on desk duty amid the investigation.
In his resignation letter, a copy of which was obtained by ABC News, Guetschow cited the "mental and emotional strain" that the public attention surrounding the incident has brought on his family, as well as what he says is "the lack of communication and or support" that he has received from the district.
The incident was the subject of a heated discussion at the school board meeting on Tuesday, with some community members calling for the district to suspend its contract with the Kenosha Police Department, while others argued that police officers are needed in school to keep students safe.
The 12-year-old girl’s father, Jerrel Perez, spoke out against the officer’s tactics in a press conference last week and called for criminal charges to be filed against him.
"She's humiliated. She's traumatized. Every day I gotta hear, 'Daddy, I don't wanna go to school,'" Perez said Wednesday.
"It breaks me, because I wasn't there to help her," he added. "I felt helpless."
A charge of disorderly conduct was referred to juvenile court for both students involved in the fight, police told ABC News.
Attorney Drew DeVinney, who represents the girl and her father, said during a press conference Wednesday thatthe family plans to take legal actionagainst the police and the school soon.
Ruder told ABC News that the Kenosha Unified School District could not provide any more information.
"As it appears that this incident may lead to litigation, the district will provide no further details at this time," she said.
A video of the incident taken by one of the students at the school was obtained by ABC News and shows the officer responding to a fight between two students during lunch time in the cafeteria.
The 12-year-old girl, whose name has not been revealed as she is a minor, pushes the officer, and then he pins her to the ground amid shouting from students who have gathered to watch.
The clip is 10 seconds long, and it is unclear what happened before or after.
"We continue our investigation, paying careful attention to the entire scope of the incident. We have no further update at this time," the Kenosha Police Department said in a statement Saturday.
Last week, the Kenosha Unified School District released a redacted version of school surveillance video of the incident.
In the video, Guetschow pushes the girl’s head to the ground and then appears to kneel on her neck for over 20 seconds.
Perez expressed outrage over the police officer’s tactics and compared the image to George Floyd, the Minnesota man who was killed when a police officer placed a knee on his neck for nearly nine minutes.
Amid a push for police reform after Floyd’s death, Wisconsinbannedthe use of police chokeholds in June 2021 except in life-threatening situations or in situations where police officers have to defend themselves. Chokeholds include various police neck restraints.
DeVinney told ABC News earlier this month that the girl "suffered injuries to her head and neck and is currently receiving medical treatment."
He said that since chokeholds have been banned in Wisconsin, the "incident should never have occurred."
"The family hopes to find out why this happened, so that it does not happen again to anyone else’s child," he added.
