Overboard Drug Raid in a SC School

I don't care how many drugs are going around a highschool (they all have them), there is no reason for the police to bust in there and pull loaded guns on random students to find them. Horrible horrible decision on the part of the school and local law enforcement, if I was a parent, I'd be extremely pissed.

If they did that to me, I think id be on the phone with a laywer.

my god! that's rediculous! that's definitly an unnecessary mesure, why would they need their guns drawn??

I like it should be more of these types of raid in schools. Schools are turning into an ideal drug traffic area. If you don't deal or use drugs you shouldn't be worried anyways. Cheers for the police dept to have the balls to do something that should of been done a long time ago.

that's not unnecessary. they are doing their job. stop being pansys. maybe all these little gang banging retarded kids in high school will finally learn their lesson with a .45 right in their grill.

What about me, I did'nt sell drugs, I didn't do drugs, I never had anything illigle in school. If I had a gun pointed at my head for doing nothing and was forced to lay on the floor while the police searched my stuff I think I would be pretty pissed.

Searches are not a bad idea at all. But busting in the school and making everyone lay on the floor guns drawn is not a good idea. What are they kids gonna do? Pull out their guns and shoot them? No... this is a DRUG SEARCH. When they search our school they just lockdown the building for 20 minutse and run dogs through the place, but they dont come busting in and ordering everyone to the floor. Thats just plain wrong

search, but dont do stupid crap like they are all criminals. No reason to point guns at people for no reason, no good comes from it. Especially kids in a school, that wont go down well with the parents

The more I think about it the worse it is. Make the drug offender lie on the floor, but why everyone? If cops had a gun to my head and told me to lay on the floor for something they had no idea whether I had done or not (and that goes for anyone) would not make me happy. I'm sure thats against some kind of human right. Its one thing if this was the ONLY way, but this is just the WORST way to do it.

i wouldn't be, especially if i was still in high school. that's a sick reason to get out of class for awhile.

"hey son what did you do at school today?"
"i had a gun pointed at my head as i laid on the ground. but i got out of class, so it was worth it"

when i was in high school i did anything to get out of class.. i donated blood whenever they had the blood drive, and i even asked the nurse "hey i'll donate some major organs if you hold me in this room for another period or two"

if this is what it takes to keeps drugs and gang banger wannabs in check then I'm all for it. Face it rent-a-cops just ain't gonna do it. You need real cops shoving .45s down the throats of pushers and gang bangers to show that schools can be a safe place to be.

They didn't catch anyone...
Face it kids are going to do drugs, no one is going to stop it.

I have no problems with that, just don't do/sell drugs or gang bang at school. Its an place for learning and should be kept that way. If it takes raids to do it so be it.

not to mention, i seriously doubt that a cop would stick his gun right in the face of some kid who was being fully 100% compliant with the orders they are being given. you guys know how kids are, they want to rebel against everything and everyone. i wasn't there, and neither were any of you, we have NO IDEA what those kids were doing/saying to the cops.

I was under the impression that's how raids work.

My kids will not, if that involves them going to a center for kids that need discipline (basically parent elected juvie) they will not.

I watched one of my friends bury his 25 year old son today... the same age I am. It was a tragedy that involved a party out of hand, someone using drugs, and a pistol. In addition to leaving his mother and father, he leaves two small children. And I know, from personally watching, that this family had taken every step to get their son help...

The look on the face of the mother and father for the past three days since it happened, of total shock, disbeleif... the look on there faces today in front of the casket is enough to make me take any action necessary to keep my kids away from that scene - when your child dies in a car accident, of cancer - (I buried a brother in law a couple years ago who died under 30 of cancer) it is unavoidable. When they die because of someone elses act... I cannot begin to know how that must feel, I cannot begin to understand how anyone copes with that. I am removed from it, and I cannot come to terms with what I would do in their situation.

A police search with ALL the students forced to lay on the floor at gun point...........wow. God I love fascism, er..I mean democracy. Jeezuz, was it really necessary to do it that way.
