telling the student to stop,, she should've told the cop to stop immediately so she could call the kids parents down and then they could all check the back pack.

The teacher was so willing to give up the kid's 4th Amendment right (google it if ya dont know what it is) because of the bully cop. Perhaps she was intimidated by the cop but she should have helped the kid not the cop. School administrators should instruct teachers/adult staff on how to protect their students and deal with abusive cops.

The cop lied as there were no drugs in the backpack.
