C-notesays...In China they have a saying "The nail that sticks out gets hammered".
newtboysays...The next few school board meetings will be interesting.
cloudballoonsays...And I thought Vice Principle was just a dark, over the top comedy...
newtboysays...The news says the police want to be clear that this was a school resource officer, not real police that handcuffed her, and any questions should be submitted to the school board, not the police department.
The board president is claiming this is somehow a setup by other board members as a devious plot to get rid of the superintendent. Does that make sense to anyone? I can't follow his logic.
Fairbssays...they should all be publicly shaming him and the school board
Mordhausjokingly says...You know it's bad when the police want to be clear they had nothing to do with it!

notarobotsays...I know nothing beyond what's in the video.
Any raise given to administrators that is out of step with comparable raises to teachers is already reason to get rid of a superintendent.

littledragon_79says...Fuck that makes me angry. What "lawful orders" did he actually give?
Someone needs to get fired ASAP and they need to get their house in order.
StukaFoxsays...Remember the magic words when you're in a situation like this:
"Touch me and I'll sue."
bobknight33says...Living in a police state. So much for The Land of the Free.
CrushBugsays...That is weird. In my city, the school resource officers are real city police officers. Sounds like nothing more than a rent-a-cop.

newtboysays...Hmmm.....I'm just repeating/paraphrasing what the tv news said. Maybe the reporter misunderstood, or was misled....or maybe I misunderstood. They wanted the angry calls to stop is how I took it, and were distancing themselves from the whole thing.
We didn't have school resource officers where/when I went to school, and I don't have kids, so I know nothing about them. I thought it was to security guard what custodian is to janitor, a fancy name.

entr0pysays...He's a city martial, so something like a court officer? In any case it seems like he should have lost his job a long time ago.

newtboysays...Good article
Sounds like the normal scenario.
Cop violates someone's rights violently. Department pays victim some taxpayer's money. Bad cop transfers to another department so they can claim he was fired, and the scenario repeats.
I think when a civil servant like a cop is fired for cause, they should be blacklisted from the profession like any other professional criminal is, and should lose any pension or other benefits they "earned". That might make them less confident that their actions won't come back to hurt them.

CrushBugsays...Oh, yeah, I wasn't calling into question what you had said, I just thought that it was interesting in the difference between what was deemed "school resource officers" between my city and the one in the incident.

newtboysays...All good, you made me question my own statement, and realize I had no idea what a resource officer really is. It's sounding like it's different depending on where you are.
