A group of Black students is accused of forcing several white students to say “Black Lives Matter” and physically assaulting them.

In a 17-minute surveillance video obtained through a public records request with the City of Springfield, a student in a white shirt is escorted by two other students across the pavement to the swings, where a third student knocks him to the ground. Minutes later, another student appears to be carrying another to that same area and dropping him on the ground. Finally, about 10 minutes in, there seems to be another altercation in the same area and it looks like another student was shoved to the ground.

Last Monday, February 20, Springfield Police announced they are actively pursuing charges. {snip}
