Kids I care about have gone to these things. Grown adults are showing up to harass - “roll coal” in the kids faces, throw things from cars.
Mustang public schools suspended all children who walked out, with support of the governor of Oklahoma.
People almost seemed to get a hard on at the idea of hurting these children in Facebook comments.
It’s the schools story. You also damn well know there’s 100 cell phone videos of the entire thing, and it makes way more sense that a handful of kids fighting got pepper sprayed instead of “school police escorted a thousand students out to the stadium for their protest and then proceeded to spraying them all down with pepper spray” or something like that. Quit blowing everything out of proportion to make it seem like some major atrocity.
It doesn’t need to be some major atrocity. “Police resort to violence in order to end high school fight” works for me.
Ok. Say there was like 10 teens fighting. What did you want them to do?
If they can’t figure out a way to break that up without fucking pepper spraying children they don’t deserve to be a cop.
Ah. I see. “Figure it out”. Great job at an answer, Chief.
Why the fuck are you putting the burden on me? Yes, they should fucking figure out how do deescalate a fight between children without restoring to pepper spray.
I’m not a police officer working in a school so why would you assume I would have training and answers to this situation? Why would you assume I know these answers instead of assuming the adults in this line of work would have been provided basic training on de-escalation and how to keep children safe instead of injuring them? Why the fuck are they carrying pepper spray in a school in the first place?
