'Mock shooting', definitely. 'of police' is not clear at all.

Doesn't look like the kids were trying to be police but it was in poor taste.

Why in order to get the point across that it was in bad taste does the original article have misinformation about the kids pretending to shoot cops........

It's in bad taste whatever they are suppose to be doing.

lots of coverage -- lots of agreement -- poor taste.

You know what -- I don't care if the community had any kind of shootings -- it was wrong wrong wrong.

Who does that kind of a marching band show......

Tacky, but if you've ever seen the real halftime show at some of these schools, you might think this is an improvement.

The kids should receive nothing more than a talking to. It is up to the adults to set the boundaries.


The kids are also being fed a narrative; that narrative needs to be challenged and no one is.


Lest there be any confusion as to, "oh maybe they didn't mean that way", judge for yourself.

Looks like another Saturday night in Detroit or south side of Chicago

The comments condeming the halftime show are worse.

Charges should be pressed on them for bringing guns to a school event! There have been children expelled for bringing fake guns on school property! Such poor taste!

How was this allowed to even happen? Sick and crazy people. They should all be expelled & who ever is over them Principles & Teachers should be fired. This is uncalled for.


A halftime show with the Movie Q as the theme. Not a good choice with the gun hysteria out there AND especially right after 2 officers lost their lives only adds to the dumb move.
Expelling children for using props given to them by an adult. For props????!!! Expelling children because of a judgement in error??!!!

The title in the OP is garbage.

The title is bogus as is one line in the article link.

These shows are created by band directors. The adults in charge here were way out of line.

I can't believe the school administrators didn't have a clue about the show. I can't believe the director and the kids didn't know what they were doing was inappropriate.

If so......we have serious issues here and administrators need to look at their hiring practices (what kind of band director chooses to put kids in this kind of situation).

Look at that pic again.

Can you imagine a spectator coming back from the john, glancing up, and seeing that sight with zero context?

We're lucky nobody took action or had a heart attack at this thing.

Yep, they have been doing this since the 1960s.
