So I got handcuffed at my old high school's graduation...

My best friend graduated yesterday, and I had made a promise I'd holler/yell for him since he did the same for me 2 years ago. My graduation was on our school's football field. After our class, every county school had to have their graduation at the local coliseum. They got real strict, and didn't allow any clapping, yelling, or anything of that nature until all students had received their diplomas.

Well my room mates brother was graduating along with my best friend. My room mate and his cousin yelled for his brother and then the Sheriff just told them they had to leave. I was glad to see we couldn't get in trouble and I knew I was going to raise hell for my friend Corey.

Finally Corey's row stands up, and he looks at me, smiles and points. I return the favor and prepare. After Corey's name is called I stand up, cup my hands over my mouth, and yell at the top of my voice "THATS MY BOY COREY! WOOOOOOOOOOO! YEAH!" and skip down the stairs towards the exit. Everyone was laughing. Then one of our county school cops tells me to put my hands behind my back and handcuffs me! I couldn't believe it. He told me he was going to make an example out of me. Everyone saw it, thank god.

The cop pushed me around til we got outside and told me he has going to have to take me to jail for disorderly conduct. I was in disbelief. My friend's drove by and I mouthed to him to take a picture, but he didn't understand me. The cop radioed for another one, and THANK GOD I knew the second cop. He told the first one to unhandcuff me and he would take care of it.

I didn't get taken to jail, but he still had to file a report. It is up to the principal whether or not to file charges against me now. I have to call the cop I know back Tuesday to find out.. Maximum fine is $500..

What a load of crap.

While the cop has threatening me outside, they also had to escort an OLD BLACK MAN WITH A CANE! outside for being loud. I wish that man woulda beat the cop with the cane.

We're not supposed to be loud at graduation in our town either...just so parents can hear their kids names...yelling for a friend shouldn't be a problem. 4 years of "hard work" and we can't even get a yell from our friends and family for finishing high school after our name is said? Sucks.
