Importantly: they were attacked by the police chief, who wasn't wearing a uniform, and spent the better part of a week in jail already over it.

McElree, the police chief, who was dressed in plain clothes, grabbed a teenage boy and placed a teenage girl in a chokehold, they said, prompting other students to intervene and a larger scuffle to break out.

He's a police chief. He should be smart enough to know how to act in any given situation. Turns out he's emotional and hot headed and not what a police chief should be.

Homie needs to resign before his community removes him, with prejudice.

He knew exactly how he wanted to act and he did it on purpose. This was not a mistake; this was not stupidity; this was evil.

Well now why is the majority of your comment crossed out? It's almost like your trying to imply that first part is true, about there being video of the teens. But the rest of the statement, which was claimed by ICE, was a total and complete lie, which was shown by the surfaced video.

Is that what you're suggesting? That ICE just completely lied about a situation which would make them look bad? Who would do that? Just blatently lie like that? Who I ask? It sounds like the same type of person who would target and harass much smaller victims. A teenager perhaps.

.........hey, wait a minute!

Some things you read and just think, man, we have really marginalized the wrong people groups in this country.

I wish that people like this guy felt like they are on the fringes of a society that collectively disdains them.

  • This will get thrown out in court due to video evidence.
  • There will be a lawsuit after which the town will have to add a new tax line to the rolls to pay these families.
  • Not a fucking thing will happen to the pig that assaulted these kids, and that's the real problem.

Yeah, that's probably why he put them in jail for a week. I can't imagine what those kids went through for no reason.

They used to. Trump changed that which is why they're so loyal to him.

ICE wasn't involved here. It's the local PD responding to a protest against ICE.

I don’t know. I mean cops broadly, and we Americans are kind of raised to be boot lickers even before Trump.

Potato potahto. Ok, small correction, but I still stand by my sentiment.
