I go to Kathleen high school and we were put on lockdown for SEVEN hours...They were lieing to the media saying that we were getting food and water though we weren't. We had to be evacuated out of the school and on to busses. The SWAT team dogs and cops surrounded us and we had to walk through them. At my school we a kid care for some of the classes for school so there were 4,5,6and 7 yearold kids crying for their mom. I had a police officer pushing me because I told him that if I din't get out of there I was going to run. We had homeland security and military forces there to. Did they go overboard or is it just me??

Sounds to me like you guys should be thankful they were there. Was there a bomb threat? Was there a crazed student gunning for other kids? Was there a terrorist claim that nerve gas or some other mass kill gas would be released? All of those are very good reasons for you to co-operate fully with the authorities when something like this happens.
If you had run, you would have admitted yourself as guilty of whatever it is they were there about. And they always shoot first and ask questions later. You don't have a "get out of jail free" card just because you're a teenager. The way they were acting it was obviously a teenager that was the problem.
I think they should have evacuated the younger care kids. But all the rest of you needed to be screened to make sure that you weren't the guilty party. And if it was just a hoax, so some jerk-off kid could get away with causing a little excitement, I think his (or her) @ss should be thrown into adult jail, and left to rot for a long time!
Did they go overboard...NO! Absolutely not! The only thing that should have been done any differently was bringing out the young kids as soon as possible.

This kid is talking about something that happened yesterday. A man was pulled over for a routine traffic stop and he shot a cop and his dog killing them. He then injured another and took off.
I am sure that you and your classmates were scared, not knowing what was going on. But you were safer this way. I am sorry that you felt scared and for the need to get out. I would feel the same way. It is over now, you are home and the most important thing is that none of you were hurt.
The cop killer is dead and the kids were safer this way.

It's just you! So you had an uncomfortable day sorry about that. Just remember there is a deputy who didn't get to go home to his wife and kids and he never will again because he was murdered by this piece of crap. So in answer to your question no they didn't go overboard. Life is not always comphy and nice when things like this happen.....Get over it!!! At least you can!

Would you rather have no reaction? After all the school shootings they need to show force and make sure people don't see that they can get away with shooting up a school.

No I wouldn't say they went over board. They are there to protect you and that's just what they were doing. I'm sure kids were crying for there parents. But it'd be alot worse if somethign happened to any of you kids......

I would say no....that's not so bad! Do you know what they were trying to take care of you?? Would you rather them not be so intense and people die?
