    Lockdown at Tulsa high school



    (TULSA, Okla.) May 16 - A food fight causes a Tulsa school to go on lockdown.
     
    A TPS spokesperson says for nearly two hours at Rogers High School, students could not leave their classrooms.
     
    The spokesperson says it happened in the cafeteria during third lunch, that's with the seniors.  Now two students are in police custody.
     
    One student was arrested for kicking the principal.  And another, who had already been suspended, walked on campus without permission.
     
    The spokesperson says since officers and the principal couldn't get control of the chaos, pepper spray was used.
     
    Now one student believes officers went too far and can't believe what happened.  “People running all throughout the hallways and everything, trying to get away from it.  It was crazy."
     
    TPS has just hired a police chief to deal with this kind of situation.  However the force won't be on the job until next school year.

    I think that tear gas and pepper spray are going to be the default solution to just about every problem the TPS police face from now on.

    The handful of troublemakers probably have it coming, but unfortunately there will be scores of bystanders and teachers that get gassed in the process.
    It's a policy that may not even be questioned until after the first gas-related fatality or two (yes, people die from this gas, and it's considered "deadly force" in some locals).

    Schools need to send something home to all parents.  That way, parents can't claim they didn't know and the school is covered.  I don't know.  Just thinkin.
