WRIC 8 News Report on George Wythe High School is Rife with Hyperbole and Inaccuracies
According to WRIC 8 news “Nearly a dozen Richmond Police Officers were called to the school to break up a fight that authorities say broke out between 5 male students.” According to an adult eyewitness, who for reasons of self-concern refused to identify himself, stated “There were no more than three or four cars at the back of the school and front, which is closer to a half-dozen than a dozen.”Let’s think about this rationally for a moment. There are about 1,000 students enrolled in George Wythe High school. God forbid a riot should break out there, but just how many police officers do you think would be necessary? If it was your child at risk, how many would you want to see there? In fact WRIC 8 quoted, “”To come here and see all these police cars and then they won’t let anyone in or out I think this is just a bit ridiculous,” says Wendy Whitaker, one student’s aunt.” But ma’am, did you just want them to let anyone off the street into a dangerous situation or worse yet, what if some of these so-called dangerous students were to get away and do more harm to another student? I’d like to know what else any reasonable person thinks should happen when a police emergency takes place.
