    That sort of thing has already been happening for years with the so-called “safety” officers station in schools

      Literally happened in my daughter’s former middle school.

      So glad we took her out of that hellhole.

      Almost like police aren’t trustworthy with firearms.

          Sigh.

          Guns are bad. Cops are bad.

          And you can’t fight.

          Who or what protects you from violence at that point?

            Legally, cops are under no obligation to protect you.

            Since when do cops protect anyone besides the already powerful?

              Right. There’s no one in prison for violence against commoners.

                That’s some after the fact shit. After the commoners were already violated, because the cops won’t or can’t and definitely have no interest in protecting them.

                How many are in prison for violence against the powerful?

                  Police can’t follow everyone around 24/7. Are you saying there are no instances of police protecting commoners from violence?

                  Also, are you trying to argue that we shouldn’t have police to imprison people “after the fact?” You think these people should just get to roam free?

                    Yeah, that’s exactly what I said you fucking genius. Absolutely brilliant.

            In my experience, it’s my brother-in-law. His testimony was an important part of a case that put 22 people in jail for actually planning an actual mass murder. Actual bad people, actual plans, actual schedules, actual gear.

            He’s a cop, one of a few in my family (we’re more a firemen/infantry family).

            If thats okay with you, I’m going to disagree with your assessment of his character.

              So he hasn’t been forced out or realized what he’s participating in yet. It’s not that hard to figure out. If he sticks around it’ll become more apparent.
