No matter what the probable cause (if any), the way this was handled was totally out of line.
This has nothing to do with the Patriot Act -- they were looking for drugs, not terrorists.
Police officers should draw their wepons only when confronted with opposing wepons, or if they are sure there are known felons inside -- or some equally dangerous situation. Going into a crowd like that with pistols drawn is reckless.
I suspect that city, police department, school system and principal will be facing lawsuits for a long time to come.
They deserve it.
It's damned fortunate that nobody was hurt.
