State NAACP officials say state Attorney General Henry
McMaster's decision not to prosecute law enforcement officers or school
officials involved in the Stratford High School drug raid in Goose
Creek is an injustice to the students. The Nov. 5 raid began at 6:45
a.m. when 15 officers entered Stratford's main hallway, ordering 130
students to the floor. Officers handcuffed 18 students with plastic
ties. School officials opened and searched 17 book bags that police
dogs reacted to. They found no drugs, and officers made no arrests. Of
the 130 students, 91 are black, 36 are white, two are Hispanic and one
is Asian, records show. Less than 25 percent of the school's population
is black. [more]
