The boys were taken to the principal's office, then arrested by police for making terroristic threats. They said they were merely playing a game of cops and robbers.

It is not just the idiot school bureaucrats. What the heck were the cops thinking? Don't they have a clue? Arresting 2nd graders?

cop: you have the right to remain silent.
2nd grader: why?
cop: cause anything you say can be used against you.
2nd grader: why?
cop: cause you're under arrest.
2nd grader why?
cop: for violating the zero tolerance ordinance.
2nd grader: what does ordinance mean?
cop: son, don't make me use this nightstick.

I thought the same thing. It said they were arrested for making "terroristic threats". However, an 8-year old child with a piece of paper is incappable of making a "terroristic threat". It would be no different than the kids, or any child for that matter, saying to the teacher, "I'll give you ten million dollars if you give me an 'A'". You can't arrest a kid for bribary, because they have no means of paying a teacher ten million dollars.

Everyone involved should lose their jobs and be tarred and feathered.
