Ragebait title. Bullying is one thing. Death threats is another. That goes way beyond simple bullying. The arrest was fully justified.

But it isn't about the arrest. Of course it was justified in general. It is about arresting him in front of the class for show, when that isn't matching the usual procedures in such a case.
