Last month, a substitute teacher in Minnesota who was also a police officer got himself barred from teaching in the district after he set out to prove to students at Woodbury High School that “police brutality isn’t real” by — *checks notes* — reenacting arguably the most high-profile police brutality case since Rodney King…on his students.
Now, that substitute teacher and cop is neither a substitute teacher nor a cop as he has “involuntarily” resigned from his job with the Prescott Police Department.
As we previously reported, Steven Williams was moonlighting as a substitute teacher at the high school when he was captured in a viral photo using students to reenact the vicious murder of George Floyd by disgraced, convicted, and, at one point, shanked ex-Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin. Williams was also accused of making sexist jokes and racially insensitive comments and telling impressionable young minds that police brutality is a myth. (Like leprechauns and unicorns, except this myth can be captured on camera and used as evidence in court. Go figure.)
