man says tattoos cost him his kindergarten teaching job. Kids shocked at first sight but get past it

A schoolteacher whose body, face and tongue are covered in tattoos and who has had the whites of his eyes surgically turned black said he was prevented from teaching at a French kindergarten after a parent complained he scared their child.

But the teacher, Sylvain Helaine, 35, still teaches children from the age of six up, and said that, after an initial shock when they see him for the first time, his pupils see past his appearance.

The protester has yet to be identified, and his condition following the incident is unclear.

In a statement Thursday, the Seattle Office of Police Accountability, the city's law enforcement watchdog, noted that a review from the department's Force Investigation Team found what unfolded in the video to be "potential violations of SPD policy, as well as potential criminal conduct." The office said it had received more than 30 complaints about the video, and requested a criminal investigation.

The incident, which happened around midnight on Thursday in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood, unfolded on a tense night of protests around the nation after a grand jury in Louisville declined to indict officers for the death of Breonna Taylor. In Seattle, multiple officers were injured and 13 people were arrested on charges including property destruction, resisting arrest and failure to disperse. One protester was charged with assault after an officer was struck in the head with a baseball bat, cracking his helmet, police said.

"The SPD is fully committed to the oversight and transparency systems the City has in place," the police department said in a Thursday news release. "The SPD calls on the community to encourage peaceful protests and conversation, and bring an end to continued destruction and violence."


Response to the incident comes amid an ongoing political battle in Seattle over proposed police budget cuts. The city council has pushed for 50% reduction in the department budget, a plan opposed by Democratic Mayor Jenny Durkan.

Footage of the incident, filmed by independent journalist C.J. Halliburton, was widely shared, with one video tallying about 3.5 million views as of early Friday. Backlash to the incident was swift.

"@SeattlePD is this how you train your officers?" asked the Twitter user who posted the viral video.
