The bullies in our schools are not police officers. They are full grown students(yes, there are 18, 19 even 20 year old grown men in our high schools) who are only there to protect their gang turf, sell drugs and otherwise terrorize students who are there to learn. I could just see the principal chasing this student down the hall with a paddle as he is trying to find the student he wants to beat up. The officer did what he had to do to protect all the other students and teachers at that school and I think he should have. It's time for these future (or current) thugs to realize their are real world consequences for criminal behavior. If an officer warns me he will taser me, I'll choose to comply with what he tells me to do. Stop defending a student who is old enough to know better. It's not like he tased a 10 year old.
