Officer Mitch stated in an interview that he wanted to be a cop not to be a jerk and not to get fat. Many students are extremely appreciative of his assistance and presence.
When Mitch was summoned to the office to watch a video to assist a troubled student, the surprise began. He realized he had been duped as soon as he started watching the video.
While Mitch held the phone, he observed a number of students praising him. He was weeping, and he had no idea that there would be even more students waiting outside the office.
