High school student dragged to swimming pool by teacher speaks out

Garcia’s attorney says Peterson should not have put a hand on the girl. The video shows he even asks other students to help him: “somebody tickle her,” he is heard saying in the 95-second video.

“No means no and stop means stop. This isn’t a situation where she’s attacking a teacher and he’s defending himself. When a woman or a 14-year-old girl says no, it means no,” he said.

If I find a teacher treating my child like that – there will be hell to pay.

Rodriguez was one of 12 reportedly unarmed people shot by border agents. Autopsies on three of them show they were shot in the back, or the back of the head.
