8-year-old boy suspended from Florida school for using fingers as gun during game of cops and robbers

An 8-year-old boy was suspended from a Florida school for using his finger to simulate a gun during a game of cops and robbers with a classmate, his family said. Jordan Bennett was sent home from Harmony Community School in Osceola County after he and his pal were busted using the gesture during their game on Friday, WKMG-TV reported. “There was nothing in his hand. He used his thumb and index finger,” the child’s outraged mother, Bonnie Bennett, told the news station. “It was a game. He made no threatening advances or threats to harm anyone. No words were said.”
