I watched the video, and I did not hear the officer warn the parent that you must leave, and leave now or you would be arrested. Instead, he said “come on”, meaning what? Come on!
Is that a lawful command, “come on” that must be obeyed whenever it is issued by an officer of the law? Must we be in fear of the policeman who says come on, and if we do not jump, at his command, are we subject to arrest? Did the officer not like what the parent said?
I am very pro police in most situations, but this is so wrong in so many ways. Doesn’t the parent have the right to speak, and if so, only until an officer commands, “come on”?
The school board members who sit by and let this take place should be ashamed.
I agree with much of what you say. Arresting the man (if that is
how it ended) made the school as “over the top” as the parent.
The cop should have escorted the man out of the room and
given him the opportunity to cool down and a verbal warning.
And, that should be the school policy, as well.
Something tells me that if there was a group of liberal parents
protesting something there would have been no arrest and
maybe no cop either. I wonder if having a cop at meetings like
this is even normal policy. The school just earned themselves
a FOX News segment. Good job, morons.
