I wonder how many e-mails they’ve received like yours.
Cheeks is guilty on a few counts:
1) When the protestor read Cheeks name as “Officer Wesley Cheeks”, Cheeks agreed and said “yes” that implied that he was an officer, and
2) When Cheeks threatened to arrest him if he didn’t comply with the “officer’s” orders.
3) Using that assumed position of authority to violate the protester’s civil rights.
4) He’s already guilty of being a dumbass.
I would be willing to believe the school system has a no pictures policy on school property. Don’ty be too quick to fault the officer for enforcing it.
From the emphatic response I would guess quite a few.
I did respond to them with an apology for my error. I sent the same email to the School's Department of Communication and Community Outreach and have received no response.
On another thread, somebody had found out that “school security officers” are police officers with arrest powers, but working for the school district.
