seems to me that the father of every kid that was involved should abruptly show up at the police station during roll call with basball bats and just whup the s##t outta all 14 of the cops plus the rocket scientist that directed this and the principal too for requesting it.

Government employees (especially police) are a protected class. Simple assault on someone in the private sector is just that, simple assault. But if it's a cop or some other government employee, well that's felony time. Oh, and they are allowed to shoot you if you make a "furtive move" or something like that.

I've been playing this game for 18 years and haven't shot anybody making furtive movements yet. Dang, if I would have known I could get away with it.... well, there's always tomorrow.

Which is why if it was my kid, the cop that drew down on him would end up with a mysterious case of RF burns or get blinded in an inexplicable way. Revenge is best enjoyed in private.
