The image shows

The image shows kevlar-packed flac-jacket camoflaged officers (plural) combing the woods with a German Sheppard, their quarry? A frightened 14 year old boy 'armed' with only a knife and explicitly "not believed to be a danger to the public" but hey, what a GREAT opportunity to drive home the 'importance' of the lunacy of the Lockdown Drill. Welcome to the future.

"They know who he is, there's no issue there," Const. Steve Starr, media relations officer with the Grey County OPP, said in an interview. "It's just a matter of making an arrest in due course of their investigation."

Just to recap: Multiple armed officers and their dog, grade-school boy who is not a threat, a school full of needlessly frightened children. Let that sink in, and then I'll tell you about the little 8 year old girl who was fine with general police/army imagery until the first fake terrorism-attack exercise in her school; now she reacts to such images with a full-on panic attack.

I expect the authorities will recommend we drug her.
