You're not getting me. Had they been acting responsibly, they wouldn't have had to do anything at 2 p.m. on March 14th. The school is still at fault.
You all are saying the school's hands are tied. While I agree that idiotic suehappy parents have made it so touching a child, even to stop her from killing another kid, means the school will be out tens of thousands of lawsuit dollars, that does not mean a school's hands are tied.
The problem is that the school's administrators were lazy slobs who didn't do their jobs, so they wound up in a bad situation.
It's like a guy saying "gee, my hands were tied, I had to kill the bear before it killed me" after marching straight into its den, capturing its cub, then waiting 3 hours for the bear to return. Sure, at that particular moment there's no choice but to kill the bear, but had this guy not made multiple dumbass moves before the bear got back, he wouldn't have found himself in that situation in the first place.
The school neglected to take care of the problem when they had the chance, then found themselves in a bad spot in which they had no choice but to call the cops. The fact that at that point they had no choice does not excuse them from blame for backing themselves into that corner in the first place.
And once the cops got there, they HAVE the right to touch the kid. If three big cops can't stop a kid from swinging at them without having to resort to clapping the kid in irons, then they need to consider a desk job.
It's a bad situation all around. It could have been prevented in the first place, and once it happened anyway the cops acted like the kid was a street thug who could actually do them harm rather than a little 5 year old girl who, while being unable to control herself, does not have the physical capability to hurt them.
