Is it not? I admit I haven't read the handbook on police etiquette in such situations. I just don't see how it was "a show of force" other than it was a statement to other kids, which is a positive thing.

When I was in school, I had police in my classroom at least 4 times. But only in one instance they made "arrests". Basically they knocked, asked if "insert names" were present and asked them to come with them. No handcuffs, sure. But this was only about shoplifting. I never though it was a big deal.
