Importantly: they were attacked by the police chief, who wasn’t wearing a uniform, and spent the better part of a week in jail already over it.

McElree, the police chief, who was dressed in plain clothes, grabbed a teenage boy and placed a teenage girl in a chokehold, they said, prompting other students to intervene and a larger scuffle to break out.

    He’s a police chief. He should be smart enough to know how to act in any given situation. Turns out he’s emotional and hot headed and not what a police chief should be.

    Homie needs to resign before his community removes him, with prejudice.

      Well now why is the majority of your comment crossed out? It’s almost like your trying to imply that first part is true, about there being video of the teens. But the rest of the statement, which was claimed by ICE, was a total and complete lie, which was shown by the surfaced video.

      Is that what you’re suggesting? That ICE just completely lied about a situation which would make them look bad? Who would do that? Just blatently lie like that? Who I ask? It sounds like the same type of person who would target and harass much smaller victims. A teenager perhaps.

      …hey, wait a minute!
