There is something fundamentally fucked up in a country that arrests and puts in jail a 13 years old kid over a bad joke.
And strip-searched!
Without notifying parents
Oh I missed that bit. JFC she's 13. How can police be so clueless about their own job... rhetorical question, I know the answer.
"clueless" thats pretty much what the leo jobs are.
You don't understand, they are brown \s
But can't put the pedo convicted felon grifter behind bars...
The result of "no tolerance policies".
Are schools not government organisations (in most cases) and would they not be subject to the first amendment?
The first amendment is not absolute - things like threats are not protected speech. Although I agree that in this instance there might be a case that her constitutional rights were violated, I suspect it would be dismissed as having been a justifiable action from the administration/police who "couldn't ignore a credible threat" or something equally bullshit...
