12 charged, five cops hurt in melee at Franklin High School homecoming

yes even though i was not at homecoming on friday october23,2009 i still would like to say something about what happend because i know what happend from begging to end.i think it was very wrong and just not right.frnaklin cops think they just have the rihgt to just do what ever and noone will have no reacion or something to say,not everyone is gonna take it.thats why there was so much retalition going on.most of the kids where innocent and some parents to what the cops did was just not right at all.my frineds were sprayed and trampled and beat up on for no reason at all this is just not right and it wont just go away or something that people can forget.

an animal, you get treated like an animal

if you act like wrote:

an animal, you get treated like an animal

Wait til the fact come out, jerk. There's a lot more to the story. Judge not lest...

emoni p fhs student, work on your language/grammar skills. There were so many it made it difficult to read.

the police dont go and look for trouble...if someone acts like an animal, they get treated like an animal, period....cops in franklin should get a LOT of credit with all the ANIMALS they have to deal with on a daily basis....but everyone forgets that, just like this situation, im sure if the people involved listened to the police, then this wouldnt have happened...which leads me to say again, if you act like an animal you get treated like an ANIMAL...cage and all!!!! JERK

Franklin police don't have it as bad as some other townships. However, in the last 5 to 10 years, there has been a spike in crime throughout the township as the population has risen. Most of these offenders are folks that have move into the rea in that 5 to 10 year timeframe...........

I'm a franklin high school I would like to state and speak to everyone who has called us animals and for the people who thought this was funny. Ok we are not the ghetto but we are not a utopia. Yes we have a problems and we can't blame anyone for them. What happened that night was police treating children and parents wrong we were pushed,slammed,pepper sprayed and cursed at we look to police to help us not to harm us..

police dont just use force for no good reason...heres a HINT do what you are told and you wont get smacked around!!! or just act like a civilized human being and not an ANIMAL

That's why my daughter will never go there! Yet my tax dollars at work... Franklin cops put up with too much crap...and it's always there fault..lol..please!

I live in Franklin Township, and rest assured the Franklin Township policeman are professional, top quality. A lot of students in FHS learn in that school that there is no consequence for their criminal behavior, and that is why they were so brazen as to challenge the authority of the police. The high school needs to punish students when they do criminal and delinquent behavior, not turn a blind eye.
