School principal uses pot to expell student (WTF?)

[Grins]

Hope this is the right place to post this one...

"AN American assistant principal who was trying to get a student expelled admitted planting marijuana in the boy's locker, police said.
"Police say Pat Conroy told them he placed the marijuana in the locker at South Haven High School, Michigan, last year because he suspected the boy was a drug dealer and wanted him expelled."

Should we tell Rush?

Hope this kid gets a lawyer and sues the bastard.

1. A pre-emptive bust

This principal should get a Neocon medal! If you wait until the drugs are imminent, it's too late.

4. Hey, what if he had been a CO?

Wouldn't it be a big time Civil Rights case?

Which makes me wonder, "Did race have anything to do with this?"

Pat) Conroy told police he came up with the idea of placing marijuana in the student's locker early last year after several locker searches by the South Haven Police Department's drug dog, Herbie, turned up no drugs at the school.
Why no criminal charges for the attempt to frame the student? For once, I hope there's a lawsuit. That kid could have been the one with a criminal record, as well as being expelled from school. And all because the assistant principal wouldn't take no for an answer. (I do wonder if Herbie's lost his nose.)
