“The high school has always had a reputation for being a safe, clean school. And I’ll utilize whatever forces I deem necessary to keep this campus safe and clean… I don’t think it was an overreaction on our part. I’m sure it was an inconvenience to those individuals who were in the hallway, but there is a valuable experience there.”
An inconvenience?! I wonder if he’d object if the next time he gets pulled over for speeding the cop throws him to the ground, gun drawn and then cuffs him. And let’s throw in the K-9 in his face for good measure. Sorry for the inconvenience, sir.
UPDATE: Instapundit has a good summary of the blogosphere’s response to this.
