Why? It sounded like the officer was doing his job in the article.

This is what zero tolerance gets you. Well that and everyone having to cover their azzes because they would be crucified if this kid EVER did anything bad with a gun in the future.


Everyone is scared of everything.

Well that is what happens after every school shooting. Everyone wants to know what the warning signs were and why didn't anyone do anything when they saw them.

Joking about getting business done with a gun isn't a funny joke.
This isn't anything about being a police state, this is about understanding that we have a gun problem in our schools and it isn't good to overlook potential warning signs anymore.
Most of Hollywood's movies are over the top gun filled entertainment, yet people say nothing. A story is written and people are becoming outraged.

Obviously you feel you are privy to info no one else has. I doubt it.
You can lay those doubts to rest, as this was in the original link.
