A Mississippi high school band is under fire for an off-key halftime show depicting police being held at gunpoint — performed in a city where less than a week ago two cops were killed on the job.

Photos circulating online Saturday show students from Forest Hill High School clad in medical scrubs and pointing assault rifles at bandmates wearing SWAT vests and lying on the field with their hands up.

The Friday skit — supposedly a take on a scene from the Denzel Washington movie “John Q” — performed at Brookhaven High School came as the city reels in the wake of the deaths of Patrolman James White, 35, and Cpl. Zach Moak, 31, killed on Sept. 29 when they responded to a call of shots fired at a home, USA Today reported.

Their funerals were held Wednesday and Thursday.

“This is unacceptable in a civilized society. Someone should be held accountable,” Gov. Phil Bryant raged on Twitter.

The Mississippi Department of Public Safety said in a statement it is “extremely disturbed by Forest Hill [High School]’s leadership approving and allowing their band to display a reenactment of violence against law enforcement at a high school football game in Brookhaven, MS.

Forest Hill’s band director has been put on leave, pending an investigation by the school district, WLBT reported.

Chokwe Lummumba, the mayor of Jackson, where Forest Hill is located, offered his “sincerest regrets to the Brookhaven community for the insensitivity that portrayed during the Friday evening halftime show,” adding he does not believe “that there was a malice intent on behalf of the students that participated.”
