Students call police to save them from math symbols

Post by K@th » Fri Mar 02, 2018 11:57 am

Students in Louisiana thought this math symbol looked like a gun. Police were called

http://www.miamiherald.com/article201604224.html

On the afternoon of Feb. 20, detectives investigated a report of terrorist threats at the school, where they learned that a student had been completing a math problem that required drawing the square-root sign.
Not one cop could even vaguely remember seeing that symbol at some point during math class as a kid?
Account abandoned.

The square root symbol may resemble a gun ... but not nearly as closely as the students and police of Louisiana resemble fucking idiots.

The fact that the article actually has to explain the square root symbol...

Blow it up, Kim.

I'd say that calling the cops even if the student actually drew a gun - that looked like a gun - on the blackboard or his mathbook, the cops should just have hung up the phone.

He drew a gun...

Did this also involve a misunderstanding of the homophones of "draw"...
