MODERATORS
Many have commented on why police were there. In events that I have hosted in the past, security is demanded for safety reasons, AND often, it is spelled out that people trained in handling emergency situations (police) are required. It is in the contract, and if they are not there, you do not get the keys to open it.
The band director's best response would have been to tell the police that he was responsible for the entire group of students and had the responsibility to get each and every single student safely home. If the police take control, they are taking that responsibility upon themselves. And remind them that that action would be without consent of the parents.
I dont think that this complex thought can be argued with someone who thinks one minute is too long.
Also in the US police has shown many times that they neither care, nor face repercussions for failing to take responsibility for the life of their fellow citizens including children.
This presumes the cops think logically
No, they flexed nuts because one of "Those People" said no. Can't have that.
