My school had that but it was bc the kid was racist and of course the rich white town probably wasn’t gonna do shit. Not right but not out of nowhere

Yeah this is called context. We've known for decades the same approach doesn't work with everyone.

Also, that's a shit situation you describe, but EVERY kid needs love and kindness. It's not unique. At the point where one student's behaviour repeatedly detracts from the class/school's safety (rare in general, but there's often one-a-school) you sometimes have to mitigate that one kid's presence temporarily for the good of the rest. It's not complex, it's just reality. Removing that ability helps no one...boundaries help kids.

Teachers aren't paid to infinitely take abuse and you can't expect the quality of education to be high when that's the case.

I love that the mom is bragging that her daughter is a straight a student in a Louisiana parish school… So she’ll be managing the Wendy’s?

Attacked a garden with a baseball bat, interesting.

Just remember, all prison are for profit prisons.

The profits are just indirect to the businesses that indirectly support the prison itself.

Until they address the problems at the leadership level, the police in that city won’t change. They will just hire more people and train them to be brutalizers. I read the article and no where did I see anything about addressing superiors officers who train and manage these cops.

Well, they could do what the city of East Detroit did and give themselves a fancier name. https://www.cityofeastpointe.net/

I have to agree with you and point out that those parents were raised by the previous generation that tended to be extremely hands off and is currently showing their true colors with their entitlement. They're the fruit of the works of previous generations.

You don't need permission from someone else to let go.

True forgiveness is a unilateral action and it's a much better feeling than catharsis (wrong word here since there's no real action you're taking unless "listening" is your catharsis) brings.

Seems unfair to put the "action" of forgiveness on the victim but it doesn't change the fact that it results in real positive healing and growth.

It always has been. The thing changing is cameras are everywhere now and it's being exposed. I worked with a girl for a little over a year that was going to school to be a police detective and had a job essentially lined up out of school from family being on the force. She was constantly lying and manipulating people around her. Stealing from people and setting up others to watch the drama. Saying that people were saying fucked up things that they never did. Total cop material. Probably going to be sheriff one day.

They ARE doing police work. FELONIES in a porcine costume. Ever come across a PIG that wasn't a criminal in some way? I haven't.

> I started a job last October in BR

In the context of your comment, I'm choosing to believe that that BR stands for Battle Royale.

Florida is welcoming these former cops to be cops again under a special unit that only answers to the governor. They get a $5k signing bonus too!

It's almost as if we are seeing a trend with thousands of bad cops. Videos of them all over the Internet committing felonies to arrest someone for jaywalking. Shooting and killing people who are following their commands. And yet still nothing is actually being done to hold police in check. Sure, we arrest the ones who get caught on video. But with the sheer number of bad police that we have fucking evidence of, it should really make you think if the police are actually good and not worse than the criminals they claim to be there to protect you against.

Maybe some sort of systemic change from the federal government is needed instead of letting every district dictate what the qualifications for being a cop are. 15 years ago when I considered joining, I looked up the qualifications and process and it was less than the training for a car salesman at the dealership I used to work at. GED and the ability to run 2 miles in 30min got you in the door because they have such a hard time hiring. I'm sure it's changed some by now though... Hopefully.

They probably won't need to move, just add 25 minutes to their drive to work.

More cops need to be the ones out behind bars and barred from ever entering the police force

The worst is when you meet your former bully thats gets hired at your job and then they act like you've best friends and they never bulled you. Luckily they were crappy worker and got fired in a couple of months.

I'm all hot and bothered by this comment.

Where’s the footage of this 200 person brawl? Someone had to be recording
