WMD AT STRATFORD

I was astonished to see on four different national news broadcasts a
videotape that showed our own Goose Creek police performing a
SWAT-style drug bust at Stratford High School, complete with guns
drawn and pointed at kids' faces, adolescent suspects who did not
"kneel and put their hands on their heads quick enough" handcuffed on
the floor (whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty?), and
the crack Canine Unit hunting for the devil's weed in the children's
book bags (shouldn't they be at the airport and SPA sniffing for
explosives?).

Did they discover the WMD? No, but they found plenty of terrified
14-year-olds, probably most of whom have now lost all respect for authority.
