The school will be lucky if they are not going to be sued and pay a lot of money. It appears as if the adults are more concerned with assisting one another rather than deescalating the situation. This kind of behavior may provoke youth to despise and actually hate law enforcement officers. We don't know if there was a verbal exchange yet I think it is best for officers to first try to handle situations like this verbally.
