Now that IUPD has started the standard investigation that comes after any police action like this, it looks like they think something went wrong to students, mostly because of the way the IDS reported on the situation. What people don't understand is that any time a show of force is used by police, there is an investigation that follows to make sure every policy and protocol was followed, not because they think something went wrong. I just hate it when law enforcement gets a bad wrap. That probably stems from my dad being retired from the State Police. Yea, agreed.

These kids have to understand that IUPD was just doing their jobs. I feel the same way you do... i would be ok with being detained if i matched the description of these individuals and i was in the area. At the time i would probably be angry, scared, or otherwise upset... but after a few days i think i would actually feel safer knowing that IUPD was taking a 'better safe then sorry' stance to these kind of issues.
