Wow.
Here we have kids being kids.
Teachers, still freshly paranoid from Newtown, as well as their inbred liberal inclination, hear one of them say “gun.” They hear nothing else.
Teacher thinks, “If I do nothing, then I am responsible if something happens.”
Teacher calls cops (or tells administration and administration calls cops).
Everyone freaks.
The “process” takes over.
Dad loses right to bear arms.
Cops look like thugs because they are required to take steps or they will lose their jobs and pension.
Teacher feels like crap (maybe) because he/she now realizes he/she overreacted.
Kid wonders why he/she was suspended.
...
We are one f’ed up nation right now.
Father and family moves to Plano, Texas. Everyone happy again.
In my experience the teacher almost has a nervous breakdown sharing the story with peers and family. Few days later, teacher begins to show symptoms of post traumatic syndrome.
Teacher is given a leave of absence followed by permanent disability. Peers become angry seeing their own being broken down and expresses that anger in front of the class blaming right wing racist constitutional loving bigots ruining the lives of innocent people
and the world keeps going round and round
If the damn cops are just “following orders” then I have no sympathy.
