I don't think they charged in there with their guns pulled. They probably knocked. This isn't America, there is no risk in a couple policemen entering a classroom.

It’s about general standards in arresting someone, that were violated purely to make a political point of showing their hard reaction.

Is arresting someone over literal death threats really a political point?

Unless there is further details about the police actually putting anyone at risk, I see no standard being violated.

No, but arresting him in front of the class as a show of force when that is not the usual and accepted way this is normally handled, is.

Is it not? I admit I haven't read the handbook on police etiquette in such situations. I just don't see how it was "a show of force" other than it was a statement to other kids, which is a positive thing.

When I was in school, I had police in my classroom at least 4 times. But only in one instance they made "arrests". Basically they knocked, asked if "insert names" were present and asked them to come with them. No handcuffs, sure. But this was only about shoplifting. I never though it was a big deal.
