 | Goose Creek police Lt. Dave Aarons has said officers put students who failed to “respond to repeated police instruction” in “flex-cuffs,” though students and their parents counter that officers restrained them for no reason. |
 | At the City Council meeting, five people in attendance voiced support for the police and their drug raid, with most citing that the police were trained professionally to handle the situation. |
 | Aarons said last week that he suspected someone tipped off the students by cell phone and that officers drew guns for safety reasons because weapons often accompany drugs and large amounts of money. |
