The Texas school officer who body-slammed a 12-year-old student has been fired.
On April 11, the San Antonio Independent School District (SAISD) announced its termination of Officer Joshua Kehm’s employment with the district.
Kehm’s termination comes six days after a video surfaced of the SAISD officer forcefully slamming Rhodes Middle School student Janissa Valdez into a brick pavement. Kehm had previously been placed on paid leave.
