Goose Creek Lawsuits
As we wrote here, the principal has resigned. Now it's time for the lawsuits to proceed over the ill-advised high school drug raids. Law Prof Glenn Reynolds (aka Instapundit) writes over at his MSNBC blog:
.... the law enforcement authorities who conducted the raid shouldn't escape responsibility for their misconduct as a result. Raiding schools with drawn guns is the sort of thing that should be limited to terrorist emergencies and hostage situations. It's not the proper way to look for a few bags of pot.
The question is whether other principals -- and law enforcement officials -- will take the lesson. I'm not sure they will, which is why I'd like to see the lawsuits go forward, and see the law enforcement officials who conducted the raid lose their jobs, too. Responsibility demands consequences.
