An image from a video shows Kiara Bogan, a school resource officer at Thornton Fractional South High School, pushing a student March 7 as he walked past Bogan at the school. The interaction is at the center of a lawsuit filed by the student and his mother. Video showing a Lansing police officer pushing a 17-year-old student at Thornton Fractional South High School is at the center of a federal lawsuit against the school district, the village of Lansing and the officer.
A security video provided by the family’s attorney, viewed by the Daily Southtown, shows Bogan walking into the left side of the frame and, when approached by a student entering from the opposite direction, stopping and raising her right hand. Lansing police Detective Sgt. Joe Pomilia told the mother in a meeting after the confrontation with her son that Bogan “lost her cool” because she “had just broken up a disturbance” between different students that morning, according to the lawsuit.
But Lansing police Chief Alfred Phillips defended Bogan’s actions, saying Bogan responded in accordance with how police are trained. The lawsuit states “a school official arrived and scolded , telling him something to the effect that ‘That’s a cop, you don’t get to say that.’”The school officer is seen standing between the two and guiding the student away from Bogan. As the student turned his back and started to walk away, Bogan followed and yelled “Don’t make me put you down,” according to the lawsuit.
