    “I thought it was impossible for police to come into a classroom,”

    Why would you think that? It’s a classroom, not an embassy.

    “Common sense would dictate that such arrests not be made in class, even when completely justified,”

    Can someone explain that “common sense” to me? Why not? What is so special about a class room?

    That’s where the person that needed arresting currently was, so that’s where you arrest them. What’s the big deal?

      Exactly. You can’t act like classrooms should be sacrosanct while simultaneously harassing other students. Makes no sense on its face.

      Further, how likely is it that the harassment is only after school hours? If you can talk shit during the school day, you can take the consequences during the school day.

      I mean, have you ever met a teacher who didn’t act like that little box was their personal realm to be god over? I can easily imagine that anything that disabuses them of the idea would come as a shock.
