Fight at School, Get Deported

From the "That Was a Really Bad Choice Department" at the Seattle Times:

An Everett High School senior could be deported to Mexico if he is convicted of a felony assault charge for pushing an Everett Police officer during a March 6 fight outside the school.

Rogelio Hernandez, 18, was charged with third-degree assault in Snohomish County Superior Court on Thursday for checking an officer with his upper body and knocking her to the ground, according to charging papers.

Hernandez, a legal resident of the U.S., has been in the country five years and could be sent back to Mexico if convicted, Schwartz said. He has no criminal history, according to charging papers.


There's more in the full article. The kid says he was just trying to get to his friend to help her, but when the police are on the scene and telling you to get out of the way there's really no excuse for not doing exactly that.

There were alot of other issues that were surrounding this entire situation. I hate it when people judge what they don't know. Police are not always right. Kids are not always right either. But I hate how no one listens to anyone but the cops.
