What was the coaches reaction toward the QB? The Coach in question was not happy and told him not to do that again ( heard it from one of the players that the qb told him what the coach said)

According to my kids that attend the school, this did in fact happen. And that is why the students are taking over the school how many teachers will live at the end of this year?

The truth will eventually come out. However, this deputy in question has high character and integrity and I do not think he will be found at fault in this situation. I don't think Merritt will let it happen either. He saounds like he supports his people and I would say he has already seen the video and the deputy was in the right.

yea he could have had 7th and 8th graders playing varsity

The big question now is how much longer will the police be up at school. If they are concerned that if they do their sworn duty to up hold the law and the school will not back them. Why would they want to work off duty at school events. What message is the school sending to the students that this behavior will be ok and nothing will happen. Today, I heard thru a reliable scource that students where talking back to staff. The students would than say their is nothing you can do to me so who cares. It is time for the school to start backing the teachers and staff. They need to say these are the rules and this is the punishment for your actions and follow thru with what they say will happen. Don't let them off for good behavior. The school admin sent a clear message Friday when they wore black clothes in support of the student. That is you can attack a cop and the admin will support you not the law.

absolute power corrupts absolutely.... : ;D 8) : :)

I have no clue what happened so I won't comment on the incident but will about laws and situations. You say there was no fight but I don't see where that matters. The officer has the right to stop and detain someone involved in a disturbance or that may have been involved in a fight. With that right the officer can investigate what happened. Maybe nothing happened but that does not stop a police officer from lawfully investigating it assuming that he had enough information that a fight or other crime "may" have been committed or in other words, reasonable suspicion. When an officer has the right of detention, it is not voluntary. In fact, walking away from an officer that has attempted to lawfully detain you can be the criminal offense of Evading Detention if the person is trying to keep the officer from stopping him. The officer can then lawfully use force if necessary. An officer grabbing onto a person that is walking from a lawful detention is probably going to be ruled as justified force. The officer may have been rude or maybe the officer could have had more tact but that doesn't make what the officer did improper or illegal (assuming that is what happened). If an officer attempts a lawful detention by grabbing a person, that gives no right for the person to strike the officer. A person might not like being grabbed but the person should not be walking away "if" the officer told the person to stop or tried to detain him. Did any of that happen? I have no idea. Just commenting on some aspects of the laws and what officers can lawfully do. When I see people commenting that the officer "had no right", I am wondering if they know what they are talking about. Very good post. Having a brother in law and several close friends that are officers I have talked to them and thay all confirm this if an officer tells you to stop and you don't then you have already commoted a criminal offense. When the student hit the officer he commited a felony and this will stay with him for the rest of his life. yes i agree, but the thing is, is that the cop never told him to stop. There were no words exchanged between them before the cop grabbed him. I can understand doing your job but grabbing a student by the throat is unacceptable. Esspecially since at this point he was not trying to fight anyone and there was not a single baseball player around. I can understand if he tried to talk to him first, but there was no talking The officer did not grab his throat I have heard this from 2 different adults that where within 5 feet of the altercation. Where you that close? Where you close enough to hear what the officer said? The bottom line is once he hit the officer he broke the law no matter what. I just hope the school is supporting the officer. If they are not this could be a field day for parents and teachers to go after the school for unsafe conditions.

I don't know where you get your info number one, but it sounds like you are one of his good buddies. Second several witness to the hole incident say their was an altercation in the locker room first and then the egging on buy others got him to go after him again in the cafeteria. Which was witnessed by teachers and staff. He then was stopped by the officer and he punched the officer in the side of the head and resisted the officer (this is against the law) the officer is trained to use whatever force is deemed needed to restrain him. He had the officer on the ground kicking and punching him. Once the student resisted the officer all bets where off he broke the law and that the bottom line. If he had not done that he might not be in all the trouble he is now.

I would say do to because the parents won't let them

sure does look that way

nikespeed you may not be one that is egging him on but I bet you don't know the whole sequence of events. By the way are you on a school computer doing this are your phone. Either way why don't you pay attention to what your supposed to be doing like learning.

nikespeed I may not have been there but I have heard from someone that witnessed the whole thing and all the adults say different from what you are saying

This is very true
