    This story is peppered with half-truths. Yes police in Texas shot 15 year-old because he pointed a pellet gun at them. If anyone has ever owned or seen a pellet gun most of them resemble a real gun or rifle. This is an unfortunate and sad story.

    The District in which the school is in has a Police force, this is true and has been around forever. For example, I reside in Miami-Dade County, FL. Its school police department has been around since 1957. This is nothing new. The purpose of the school police department is to investigate gangs and drug use.

    As for children being arrested for throwing paper airplanes I find this hard to believe. For starters I am the father of four children, three of which are in school. My oldest one is 13 and he has been in a few fights in school. He wasn’t arrested. I received in door suspension. My second one, who is 9, was just in a fight. He received detention. No police action was taken in neither incident.

    I did read that students are being given citations and are being fined if their behavior is becoming intolerable. But I don’t blame the kids, I blame the parents. My sister is a teacher and the children are out of control because the parents are the same way. Maybe giving citations would wake up the parents. My sister has to deal 8 and 9 year old kids with cell phones going off in the middle of class. A good portion of the time is Mom, Dad or Grandma calling.
