A pair of students now have been found guilty of trespassing because they were building a snow fort on grounds of the high school they attend, on a snow day.[1] The article makes it sound like the police officer was throwing his weight around, being a bully, and is getting away with it. I doubt anyone now, except the two kids and the police officer could really say for sure, both sound possible to me. I can see an officer getting upset at the lack of respect from some of today's brats. I can also see an officer getting upset at having his authority legitimately challenged, and deciding to throw the book at the kids. Personally though, these simply cannot be the brightest kids in the world, they could so easily just have left and come back later.
