They're always so fuckin brave when encountering an unarmed citizen they can lord their power over.
Alarms sound at the on site emergency response team and LV Fire Dept. Emergency ventilation and lighting engage. The auto fire suppression system kicks in. Peeps grab the portable air packs and evacuate via the emergency exits..What happens when one of those cars catch on fire, like they're apt to do? One lane? This "genius" invented a more expensive, shittier subway.
My daughter teaches 5th grade and is a second degree black-belt...... No way she should be handling a gun in an active shooter situation without investing in a similar amount of training and even then........ It took her almost a decade to earn those belts.
Nobody can be sure what they'd do but she feels strongly that "these are her kids" so I suspect she would do whatever she could but this is ridiculous. Arming teachers with no military background or experience is stupid. Arming teachers who have prior military experience AND providing them with additional training sounds more plausible BUT IT ALL sounds like a last resort. Is this the best we can do?!?!? Really!?!?!?
No different than when the "school officer" at Parkland was filmed by security cameras doing nothing while children were slautered!
Unfortunately, police officers are under no "duty" to protect anyone, except themselves, and possibly their fellow officers.
I have a confession to make.......My daughter teaches 5th grade and is a second degree black-belt...... No way she should be handling a gun in an active shooter situation without investing in a similar amount of training and even then........ It took her almost a decade to earn those belts.

This is so stupid. Dave Weigel is one of the few good reporters left in this country.

Washington Post Suspends Reporter Who Retweeted Sexist Joke for One Month
The Washington Post suspended political reporter Dave Weigel after he retweeted a sexist joke last week.variety.com
He retweeted a joke, and quickly deleted it. The joke was sexist, but was also very funny. I'm sure if Dave offered to write one of these articles, he'd be in the clear:

"School Resource Officers" aren't just useless. They're worse than useless. They spend their time doing things like arresting a 5 year old for "assaulting a police officer" when they were having a tantrum. Or arresting a teenager for making a science project. That little volcano was basically a bomb, dontchya know.
It's a nice little way to set up a "school to prison pipeline". Lots of easy revenue for our justice system. Give kids a record. Prevent them from getting into college. Reduce their opportunities. And you can guess how much melanin the kids who generally get caught up in this have in their skin.
Wasn't that Peterson guy at Parkland HS in FL a "Armed School Resource Officer"
