Major Disturbance @ Miami Edison, 30 students arrested

Click for the full report in the Miami Herald HERE.

Apparently, this started out as a peaceful protest by students against a recent violent event between a fellow student and one of the assistant principals at Edison. There are reports that 30 students have been arrested so far, and about 70 police units responded to the school.

I am asking our leaders to gather (Marleine Bastien, longtime sista in the struggle for the Haitian American community is already on the scene) all information from ALL sides, including the students, and access this accordingly. Don't just jump on the "these wild kids are a mess" bandwagon...please!

I am asking authorities to maintain their humanity in trying to protect the public if there is a danger in this situation. You may have the badge, but we are all human beings, so remember that.

And if there is any wrong doing on any side, we as a community, ALL OF MIAMI-DADE need to handle it with some decency and respect! These are OUR children, and should be OUR police, so let's act like it!
