[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Finally got picked up by MoCo 360: https://moco360.media/2024/11/21/fight-walt-whitman-posted-to-social-media/[/quote]

Wow Principal Gregory Miller is really downplaying this , saying they might get an infraction for beating the child wtf[/quote]

Why do the rules not apply to the schools? If you are walking down the street and a couple of people come up to you and start hitting you, beating you up, kicking you in the head it’s not a fight. It’s assault.

The schools and principles and media keep minimizing this as a fight. I said it up thread, these kids need to be expelled, and some of them need to be sent to Juvie.

Again, principals have full latitude for how they categorize incidents in their schools. If the principal says it's a fight, it's a fight. And MCPD backs off and doesn't question it.[/quote]

They don't exactly have full latitude.  The MOA identifies the situations in which law enforcement will get involved or not.  For a physical altercation/fight MCPD has agreed to stay out of it unless the altercation resulted in injuries beyond what would be addressed in the school health room.  The MOA is on the MCPS website.  I encourage folks to read it.

Based on the MOCO360 article, it sounds like law enforcement did show up but MCPS is letting the school handle consequences.  [/quote]
