Steven Williams, a police officer in Prescott, Wi., is on leave after a Minnesota school district banned him as a substitute high school teacher for using a student as a prop in a reenactment of George Floyd’s murder. FOX 9 in Minneapolis-St. Paul obtained Williams’ teacher license report, which says he had resigned from two law enforcement jobs, was fired from a security job, and got a D+ in a college ethics class. A photo has appeared on social media of Williams re-enacting Floyd's murder with a student. The school district said Williams made racially harmful comments and said police brutality isn’t real.
Williams had quit the Daniels County, Mt., Sheriff’s Office after a deputy accused him of abuse of authority and harassment. He had been fired by G4S Secure Solutions, a security guard company, after he accidentally brought his firearm to work. Teachers On Call, the company Woodbury High School contracts for its substitute teachers., said, "The substitute educator involved in the reported misconduct passed all required background screens before being placed on assignment."
