Also the kid who took down the teacher said "its my fucking phone bro". He is right, it is his phone. This is the USA in 2015 and we have devolved into a civilization teetering on the brink of collapse and you cannot take a phone a way from someone without expecting a violent reaction regardless if you are a teacher or not.
Yes, it's his phone. But it's the teacher's classroom. And the teacher is responsible for enforcing the rules (assuming this school has a no-phones rule).

No rules = anarchy and chaos.

I tend to agree with you that we're slipping in to a civilization teetering on the brink of collapse, though. But those tasked with the job of enforcing society's rules can't simply throw their hands up in defeat and let the mob rule. The law of the jungle can't win at the end of the day.
