he didn't cuss at a teacher, he cussed at a deputy -- In my mind that makes him a police officer -- and the kid is as dumb as a stump for doing so.

But -- Even if it was a teacher -- on what planet is it acceptable behavior to cuss at a teacher? Why does that seem to be no big deal to people? And it's not the cussing that would concern me, it's the complete and utter lack of respect for an authority figure, the parents are absolutely to blame for how this young man was raised (at 17 you are not a kid and you should know better.)
