[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hmmm…teens arrested for ASSAULT. Would love to hear what Loony McLoony “it’s was just a fight” poster has to say now. [/quote]

Where was I wrong?

A WJ parent took their kid to the police station and reported it as an assault.

Police will need to do an investigation to determine if it was an assault or a fight.

You will need to wait for facts.

A police report is not facts, it is a report written when people are interviewed. People can lie in the interview.
A police investigation is usually based on facts (though something they are wrong too).

Kid comes home beaten up and he told his parents, "I was assaulted", it might be the truth or he lied because he didn't want to admit he was in a fight (and lost).

Well they had probable cause to make those arrests...so there is that.[/quote]

+1 Police do not make arrests based solely on the report. An actual arrest, particularly one that follows days of reviewing tapes and talking to school officials, means they've identified someone and met with the prosecutor who thinks s/he can make a case.

I have not weighed in on this "it's not assault if it's a fight" thread before because it seems transparently insincere and likely a troll, but five arrests with more to come is a pretty strong indication that the police and prosecutors are not treating this like a bunch of kids who squared up to fight willingly.
