The people who did this to that kid are the ones who need to be arrested -- every last one of them. Stripped of their ranks, stripped of their certifications, their badges taken away, and relegated to flipping burgers at McDonald's for the rest of their pathetic little lives, because people who straight-facedly make such poor decisions as these have NO BUSINESS BEING IN POSITIONS OF AUTHORITY, period.
Agreed - but it's not gonna happen. Heck, once you are in any position of authority in the public sector, the next exercise is a constant striving to make sure you can't get fired for any reason. Period. This incident is about making sure the school and police can't even get criticized (getting criticized for over-reacting doesn't count). This reads like a classic case of CYA.
What is lacking here is leadership. As usual, the person with the least protection/power pays the price for that lack.
