The real problem is the severity cannot be assesed from the text. I called a teacher a "bitch" once after she made a wrong decision which would have a negative impact on my grade and she was ready to scream suspension, citation, in school suspension, and ruin my otherwise perfect academic and disciplinary record.
However if he said "fuck you bitch I'm going to kill you if we have one more homework assignment" then I guess it could be enough that this action be taken. However I still think it would be dealt better with a fine and suspension rather than jail time, the kid is digging his own grave, 30 days in jail isn't going to change things, so why waste money on him. People are going to choose their own path regaurdless of their situation, if he is going the path of nowhere 30 days won't make a difference. Yet again not enough information was really given to judge anyone in the situation. Who knows maybe the officer had a fight with his wife that morning and vented.
