(Goose Creek) Nov. 7, 2003 - Students in Goose Creek say they were minding their own business on Thursday when the police burst into Stratford High School with guns drawn.

A full police raid interrupted classes, and drug sniffing dogs brought in indicated the presence of an illegal narcotic.

One student was handcuffed as a result while his back pack was searched. No drugs, however, were actually found, and no arrests were made.

The incident infuriated many parents, who say the children were treated like criminals. The school's principal says the raid sends a clear message to the students that those who bring drugs to school could wind up in jail.

School officials say there have been at least four cases of students bringing drugs to school, and they stand behind the decision to call in the police.

Welcome to the new POLICE STATE. At one time we only thought things like this happened in the former Soviet Union or China....Not now it's coming to a town, church and school near you...WAKE UP!!!!

At least they didn't find any cigarettes.

[Blood of Tyrants]

What is the big deal. IT'S FOR YOUR OWN GOOD! (disgusted sarcasm off)

This really *is* over the top ...

Actually this is what it might take for the chemical warfare mass-poisening of today's young generation to stop.

Oh get real.. If you don't want your kids rights trampled by the government, then for Pete's Sake--- don't hand them over to a Government School every day!!!! Duh!

LOL! Goose Creek [where]? If it's in SC, all you're hearing is the howling of privileged parents whose little snookums should have been doing something better with their time.

Happened the exact same way in Grosse Ile, Michigan not too long ago. GI is an affluent suburb of Detroit. Drug dogs from a number of nearby communities were hauled in, all the students were sent to the gym for the afternoon and the dogs went locker to locker.

Cops found one pipe and a few packs of cigs.

Oh, the cops also found permanent resentment from 1000 young people.

GUILTY till proven innocent (handcuffed while they searched his backpack...in school?)
At least they didnt find any eggs that could be used in an egg war

[joesnuffy]

When will they hit the ghettos and go house to house and do the same thing...

[swarthyguy]

They had a picture on TV this AM.

Cops, some with Swat type outfits, heads masked, guns pulled, pulling stuff out of lockers, while children lined up on one side.

Wassamatta? Wasn't the DARE program effective?

Looked like overkill to me. But since no dope was found, did the students know about it?

Drug test all school admins and all police once a week.

Good point. This may actually be a blessing in disguise as it teaches the children the government is their enemy and cannot be trusted.

Look out "Patriot Act II" also things like this I believed happened once in the early beginning of NAZI Germany, Russia, Cuba, China and the USA......

There's probably someone at the local mall with some unapproved drugs on them, better detain everyone there.

[Stew Padasso]

Public schools are a perfect place to condition the sheep.

[Patriot1998]

That's right train those kids earlier for crowd control.....

[_Jim]

Look out "Patriot Act II" also things like this

PA II proscribes drug dogs and locker searches in high schools?

[Wolfie]

They've been doing that for decades. Not so much fun now, though.

[Patriot1998]

I wonder if the school board is elected or ruled by the police. Seems that all of the govt organizations stick up for each other no matter what.
