After Depicting Cops at Gunpoint During Performance
A high school band in Mississippi was barred from a yearly state competition after it recently depicted holding police officers at gunpoint during a halftime performance.
The state's High School Activities Association reportedly notified the Jackson School District last week of the sanctions against Forest Hill High School.
The sanctions also include prohibiting band members from wearing uniforms and marching at football games for the rest of this season.
Images from the Oct. 5 halftime performance viral after students who appeared to be dressed as doctors pointed toy guns at officers on the ground.
