(Daily Mail) This is the shocking moment a Florida high school student body slams a cop trying to break up a fight between two other kids.
The 15-year-old boy, who has not been named, also landed punches down on policeman Russell Ball during the vile encounter in St Cloud on Thursday.
The young thug marched over to the school resource officer, grabbed him by the neck before flipping him on to his back.
He then pulled away from the cop and started reigning blows down on him before school staff dragged him off.
The child was arrested for battery of a law enforcement officer and resisting an officer with violence.

Authorities say Ball was separating two other students, both 14, from fighting each other when the unnamed 15-year-old — who was not involved in the fight — walked up to the cop and grabbed him by the neck.
The student then allegedly pulled the officer away from the fight, and the officer attempted to control the student ‘with the least amount of force possible,’ according to St Cloud Police Chief Douglas Goerke.
Footage then shows the 15-year-old wrapping his arms around a school resource officer and flipping him to the ground as bystanders at St. Cloud High School in Florida yell in surprise.
The student could then be seen repeatedly body slamming and punching the officer before, authorities say a school administrator, another school resource officer and other students intervened.
