The new student pick-up policy, which reportedly started last week, says that parents can only pick up their children after 2 p.m. by waiting in a line of cars until everyone is released at 2:35 p.m. In this particular case, the parent was walking, so it wouldn’t make much sense to wait in the line of cars.
As Jim Howe made his case to South Cumberland Elementary School Resource Officer Avery Aytes, the man’s fiancé recorded the entire exchange. In the roughly 6 minute discussion captured on video, Howe does not appear to seriously raise his voice or make any threatening gestures. It should be noted that there could be more to the video, however, the moment that Aytes arrests Howe appears to be shown in full context.

Don't wonder about the police state!
Here it is - in full "Lack-of-common-sense" mode.
This is so stupid!
That's just great.Now his kids will grow up to be non conformists.STRICT schedules must apply to insure student safety.

You are exactly the kind of individual the Obama administration and big gov't count on. What's wrong with non conform? For crying out loud that's exactly why this country was founded. Now you want to defend the very practices that are going to destroy it.
Have all of you forgotten the school shootings already? We can no longer adhere to the liberal school principles that previously applied.Yesterday I was put through the ringer to see my grandson in class (National Education Week).I commended the staff for the job they are doing to keep the children as safe as possible.And for the record,try to clean yourself up before entering a school.It's no wonder some people are overly scrutinized,not to mention an embarrassment to their kids.
I don't recall any school shooter going to pick up his kids, nor do I recall any wearing sweats. The world is wicked, come out of her.
My kids school has a similar policy. Before they had it, parents picking their kids up by car would not wait in the line. They would park anywhere and everywhere. Illegal, double parked, in the bus lanes, etc. There used to be 100 kids called to be picked up at the end if the day, holding up car rider dismissal and bus riders, walking and running in front of cars. Since switching last year to a new policy, we have maybe 10 kids called at the end of the day, after car riders are released. Car line takes less than 10 minutes for 100 cars to get their kids. They probably went to the policy b/c people were trying to beat the system by signing their kids out a few minutes before the official dismissal time to avoid the rush. You know, because some parents are better than others and should get special treatment and not have to adhere to the rules that are in place to ensure an orderly, safe dismissal.
Sorry, but dismissal is dismissal. School responsibility probably officially stops when the bell rings, or shortly thereafter. Is walking to school now illegal? What am I missing here? Dismissal, bell rings, Parent walks to school to claim responsibly his own flesh and blood who he is legally responsible for after school hours. It's suppertime.
Cop doesn't want his job, is all.

that might work at your school but not the one on this topic. cars are stretched out on the shoulder of a public road as far as the eye can see.
Lord help the person, and the families involved, who has taken more than they can take of jerks like this cop and starts shooting them.
I hope it isn't me.
