November 09 Pepper Foam?A couple of folks are trying to make an issue of the fact that over 40 high school students in Pinellas County were affected by pepper foam... foam, not spray... when officers tried to break up a girl fight involving 4 girls.
They had to spray from a distance because interested spectators blocked the officers from getting to the fight.
But the kids involved, and one wise school board member with teaching experience, know what it's like when a fight breaks out in a school cafeteria.
It ain't pretty.
I could move middle students from a fight ring when I was younger, but I'm not sure about today's high school students. I used to explain to students and to parents that I would do whatever it took to get to the fight as quickly as possible... even some in the ring ended up with scrapes or bruises from my attempts to break the ring. The same with the bozos involved in the fight itself. Prevention of more serious injuries to combatants is the only duty. TrackbacksWeblogs that reference this entry
