Outrage after high school band glamorizes police being murdered 1 week after two area officers killed

A halftime show by the Forest Hill High School band in Mississippi is drawing widespread condemnation after they depicted doctors and nurses gunning down police officers, less than a week after two Brookhaven officers were fatally shot in the line of duty.

Brookhaven police officers James White and Zach Moak were shot and killed by 25-year-old Marquis Flowers in the early morning hours last Saturday after responding to reports of shots fired. Their funerals were held on Wednesday and Thursday this week.

At no point in time is this acceptable. At any school, at any performance, in any town.

If you agree that this is unacceptable and a public apology and holding both students and staff accountable for this are necessary here is Forest Hill’s high school’s assistant superintendent’s email:

That’s not gonna happen but the adult staff members like the band director who allowed or even encouraged this need to be fired.

[Sauer Koch]

Absolutely!

Well, after choking back the bile (how can this be any worse than using high school kids?) I've got a question: Why Doctors and Nurses? Why not our dear, misunderstood brother who was just getting his life together? What am I missing?

I've got a question: Why Doctors and Nurses?

The idea that this has anything to do with the events a week ago is deceptive in the extreme. These sort of marching band shows take months to plan, teach, practice... Still not in good taste, but that's why it doesn't seem to make any sense.
