They totally just only did it to the students who were fighting guys!
One parent is furious that her son had to go to the hospital because of this.
Monique Goudau’s 12-year-old son, Keenan Pettis, is in the sixth grade at Will Rogers. She says he was outside protesting against ICE with his classmates when a fight broke out between students near the football field.
Keenan says he wasn’t part of the fight, so he and other students went back into the school to keep protesting. That’s when he says campus police pepper-sprayed him.
“I don’t really remember it. I was just, it was… it was just hurting, I don’t know,” said Keenan.

Yeah we should totally take the official police story as fact. They totally should be trusted implicitly.

It’s the schools story. You also damn well know there’s 100 cell phone videos of the entire thing, and it makes way more sense that a handful of kids fighting got pepper sprayed instead of “school police escorted a thousand students out to the stadium for their protest and then proceeded to spraying them all down with pepper spray” or something like that. Quit blowing everything out of proportion to make it seem like some major atrocity.

It doesn’t need to be some major atrocity. “Police resort to violence in order to end high school fight” works for me.

Ok. Say there was like 10 teens fighting. What did you want them to do?
