Guns drawn, High School Drug Raid
Link
This is ridiculous. This could've been handled so much better. If I were a parent of a student at that school I'd sue. The cops in that town would learn what fear really is, an angry mob of parents with a class action suit.

If you've got someone on camera selling drugs, go search them.
Those cops are ing idiots. Chief of police and school superintendent should be fired.
I would be extremely angry were I a parent.

I'd suggest a mix of half coke, half diet coke so you don't get too much sugar when you're that angry.

It's the sentiment that counts! Two or three years ago, when I was in high school, the police periodically conducted searches of lockers. The thing is, it was a lot more organized in Pennsylvania than in South Carolina. Our local police had the good sense to conduct searches with classes already in session. Granted, we were more or less confined to our room, but no one really thought much of it. I think if students were in the halls and were forced to get down on their knees by policemen with drawn guns...

Legalize drugs and you won't have to deal with street dealers.
Unfortunately we'll still have to deal with idiot cops.
Legalize it. Don't criticize it.

Well if the unions weren't out of control we could weed out the crappy cops, teachers, longshoremen, et cetera very quickly.

Well if management weren't out of control we wouldn't need unions.
The proper way would've been to identify the students on the cameras, to pull them descretely out of class. Then search them, their lockers and cars.

Look at the supermarket strike in my neck of the woods. Here management is NOT out of control. The union is.
I am scarred, is this America. That is not my America, not a place where innocent children are treated like violent criminals in the effort to search for marijuana. None was found by the way. An incident like that could cause a lifetime of suffering due to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. That raid was entirely uncalled for and everyone involved should be justly tarred and feathered.

The only thing dumber than what the cops did, is the idea that you can fix the problem by suing them. Getting someone fired does not require a law suit generally speaking, and the objective should be to get the people behind this idea canned and banned (from taking the same job somewhere else).
The objective now should be to leverage this incident to hasten the demise of the failed war on drugs. Imagine how balanced our budget and how much lower our taxes could be if prisons didn't have to keep prisoners held only on drug charges, the DEA is all but disbanded, the FBI refocuses their work on protecting America from the REAL threats, and the courts are no longer tied up with drug related cases.
Probably will never happen though. People in this country are too dumb and nosy to ever allow people the right to ingest whatever they want as long as they don't go out and hurt others.

That might be true. Of course, I don't know where your neck of the woods happens to be.
The USPS is a great example of failed management.
