pecunium School Guards Break Child's Arm And Arrest Her For Dropping Cake
The girl, Pleajhai Mervin, told Fox News LA that she was bumped while queuing for lunch and dropped the cake. After being ordered to clean it up and then re-clean the spot three times, she attempted to leave the area out of embarrassment but was jumped on by security who forced her onto a table, breaking her wrist in the process....
The school expelled Pleajhai for five days before then having her arrested for battery and for littering (the dropping of the cake). Then they had the pupil who captured the video arrested along with his sister who was merely present at the scene.

I suspect the cops (who worked for the District, not the local police, as I recall) were one of the things the area insisted on (at my second high school) because of all the black students being imported.
At my first school they were there because it wasn't unheard of for kids to get into serious fights (though the, general rules were that people wouldn't bring weapons. The school was sort of a truce zone).
