Police were called to Miami Edison Senior High School after a student protest became unruly Friday, officials said.
"A couple of hundred" students were involved in the protest, which began during lunch hour in an open patio next to the cafeteria, said Quintin Taylor, a spokesman for the Miami-Dade School Board.
Minor injuries were reported among police and students, and video from the scene showed several students being led away as if under arrest.
Students were angry the principal put a student in a "choke hold" Thursday. Taylor said officials are investigating how the protest, which started peacefully, became unruly.
"Our officers assigned to the school became a target at the school of objects being thrown at them ... books, soda pop, water bottles, milk cartons," Miami-Dade Schools Commander Charles Hurley said.

My father used to work at Edison, and soonafter left. It's a shame stories like these don't get much coverage, even local coverage. Schools around here need a lot of help (don't we all).
