A viral video of a halftime performance by the Forest Hills High School Marching Band in Forest Hills, Mississippi, has sparked outrage. The halftime skit shows a group of students with toy guns seemingly shooting other students dressed as SWAT officers in a reenactment from the movie John Q starring Denzel Washington.
The skit was deeply disturbing to many in the community because six days earlier two officers were killed in a shoot out with a suspect. The video was uploaded to social media and even caught the attention of Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant, who posted to his official Twitter page.
