(8,153 posts)a bunch of students would suddenly get the notion to support an officer seen roughly handling a fellow student?
Do you think that they sat down and planned this out themselves or do you think they had help?

Sports team members generally feel a tight bond with their coaches... and team members often have considerable sway over their classmates.

I can't do anything for the victim, and obviously it could happen to me without consequence and at any moment - the reasoning goes - so I had better get on the thug's good side.
Can't say I blame them.

(18,124 posts)about 100 students walked out in protest over the SRO's firing, NOT HUNDREDS. True, they were all races, but 100 out of how many who could have walked out? Probably about the same percentage breakdown as those here who have defended fields for his actions.

(12,882 posts)were ticked that they had to lose their class time to some misfit with an agenda. With my wife's classroom (high school), just writing up an incident (which they HAD to do) - then penning a pass and then calling the office to say she was sending an unruly kid over - wasted at least half the class. Of course, there was the clamor and cat-calling from other students to add to the ruckus and basically, her lessons for that class period were shot in the ass.
Cracks me up here to hear all the "should have dones" and outrage over the faculty shortcomings when most of those carping have never BEEN in a classroom since they left school themselves. I've got news for you - we got booted out of Edan some time ago. And it's ugly out here.

It would be hilarious if the police declared it an unlawful assembly and attacked them.

Most believable reporting seems to indicate that 40-50 students participated in the walkout.
The average high school football team has about 45 players.
You do the math.
