Student Maced at Meeting

By Antonio D. French

Filed Thursday, March 22, 2007 at 11:48 AM

A group of SLPS students disrupted the meeting of the State Board of Education moments ago with chants of "no takeover!" The Board went into temporary recess while order was restored.

Capitol Police officers were attempting to restore order when they got into a confrontation with one student in particular. The young man darted from the room and was chased through the Harry S. Truman State Building before being caught and maced outside of the building.

An angry crowd gathered around and followed the officers as they handcuffed and dragged the boy into the lower levels of the building.

Why didn't they get the German Shepard's and fire hoses? Antonio, thank you for your excellent coverage of this egregious violation of civil rights. The degree to which our rural friends value urban affairs is quite obvious.

I wonder how much pleasure the people who are still allowed to vote for their own school boards will derive from watching this. I suspect a lot.

It is genuinely sickening.
