Yup We’re Sticking To The Door Thing


Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) wants to make it clear that he absolutely is doing something to prevent future school shootings like the horrific massacre in Uvalde last week, and he can prove it with this letter he sent to the commissioner of the Texas Education Agency (TEA) yesterday. In it, Abbott directs the commissioner to, among other things, ensure that school doors are keeping the kids safe.

• Schools should be instructed to “conduct weekly inspections of exterior doors to verify they are secure during school hours,” Abbott writes.
• The GOP’s new door control platform is part of conservatives’ Very Serious push to “harden” schools into quasi-supermax prisons rather than consider gun control.
• .................................................. ......................

Harden the schools and give teachers guns to protect the kids and themselves.

Oh yeh forgot that police with assult rifles would not go in the school.

how about daily fucking inspectons . holy jesus on a cracker
what a joke :142smilie

How about NO Gun Free Zones, these COWARDS go where you DIPSHIT Liberals tell them to go.

Hope this helps you

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) railed against the indictment of former Trump White House adviser Peter Navarro while saying in an interview on Friday that “if you’re a Republican, you can’t even lie to Congress or lie to an FBI agent or they’re coming after you.”

Gohmert, speaking to Newsmax in an interview on Friday, was asked to comment on the Friday indictment of Navarro by a federal grand jury after the former Trump official failed to comply with the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.

“It actually puts an exclamation point on the fact that we have a two-tiered justice system. If you’re a Republican, you can’t even lie to Congress or lie to an FBI agent or they’re coming after you. They’re gonna bury you. They’re gonna put you in the D.C. jail and terrorize and torture you and not live up to the Constitution there,” Gohmert responded.

When is the right time to prosecute criminals for gun charges? Delaware dropped 71 % of gun charges from 71k felony arrests during a 3 yr period 2012-2014. Maybe it is time for left wing judges to start enforcing the law .

Oh really? Criminals committing crimes with guns are just walking away because liberal judges letting them get away with it? Boy, that sounds like it may be missing some facts. Please provide a link. I have a feeling you don't know what the fuck you are even talking about.

Speaking of Delaware. They are making changes, not excuses, like you and the other cowards.

The package of bills, which has the support of Gov. John Carney, also includes:

• Strengthening background checks by reinstituting the Firearm Transaction Approval Program
• Holding gun manufacturers and dealers liable for reckless or negligent actions that lead to gun violence
• Banning the use of devices that convert handguns into fully automatic weapons

Where's that source Lowell? You always seem to go quiet when I press you to support your claims. Weird.

 

[THE KOD]

Working in any type of job that puts you in situations where you're constantly having to de-escalate scenarios is emotionally draining, which is a big chunk of the kind of what law enforcement requires.

Having to maintain equanimity when individuals are at their most angry, depressed, violent, despondent, drunk, etc. is extremely difficult, especially when you hear horror stories of officers being gunned down by suspects during routine traffic stops.

However, de-escalation training has proven to be an effective tool in not only minimizing violence but further charges for the individual in question. If police officers are able to calm a scenario down, that's a powerful skill to have. As of 2021, 21 US states still don't require police departments to implement de-escalation training as part of their curriculum.

And according to Justin-Brown Woods, a former police officer+current teacher, he said that his police training program demonstrated an almost schizophrenic view on handling pressurized situations. In a now-viral Twitter thread, he delineates his reasons for becoming a police officer, and why he ultimately decided to get out of that game after only 10 days.

For Justin, pursuing a career in law enforcement was a way for him to connect with juveniles and help direct them on paths/practices that were more conducive to their long-term goals/dreams.

SOURCE: TWITTER | @JBROWNWOODS
After applying he decided to do as much studying as possible, checking out episodes of Live PD (before it was taken off air) and studied as many materials pertaining to officer protocol and local laws as possible.

Justin was hopeful that his new career path would ultimately make a difference in the lives of his community.

However, he felt that the tactics taught by his superiors were deceptive, dishonest, and designed to entrap individuals into being criminals, as opposed to helping them out.

SOURCE: TWITTER | @JBROWNWOODS
He highlighted the milk crate example as a "probable cause gateway" into searching potential suspects for...well...just because.

SOURCE: TWITTER | @JBROWNWOODS

He goes on to talk about the experiences he has with superiors in Academy. The screaming, and physical contact he endured during a scenario re-enactment left him with one big lesson: that he never wanted to act or sound like the "local cop" he referred to in the tweet.

Just went on to rattle off all of the acts of kindness he performed while in Academy, and that he made quite the impression on fellow recruits and individuals from external programs. For Justin, he didn't think he did much: he just tried to be compassionate.

He ends up getting hired by a dual-service department, with shift rotations between being a firefighter and police officer. And at first, everything seems great, until he starts getting taught defensive tactics.

He also couldn't believe the violent rhetoric that was being relayed to new recruits and pointed out that one of the more aggressive personalities on the force ended up being sued in a court of law for stealing money and drugs.

SOURCE: TWITTER | @JBROWNWOODS
Justin also couldn't reconcile his personality with the "boys club" attitude he encountered from many of the police officers, like the one officer who told him he didn't trust him as he wouldn't "listen to veterans."

He also highlighted instances where cops would abuse their power for personal sordid entertainment.

On the fifth day of his new job, he had to get tasered, which he describes as "not fun" as well as listen to discriminatory comments about Latino drive whose car had an expired registration.

SOURCE: TWITTER | @JBROWNWOODS
SOURCE: TWITTER | @JBROWNWOODS
It was at this point that Justin was really struggling with the idea of being a cop full-time. He called up his family members and discussed the prospect of quitting. He thought he'd be able to "act" his way through it but couldn't.

SOURCE: TWITTER | @JBROWNWOODS
SOURCE: TWITTER | @JBROWNWOODS
He went home and prepped his notice and vowed that if the following day was just as bad as the rest, he would submit it and quit the department.

He responded to a tow truck situation involving a former relationship between one of the officers and a woman who was having her car towed.

Justin said the officer displayed "zero class" throughout the debacle.

SOURCE: TWITTER | @JBROWNWOODS
SOURCE: TWITTER | @JBROWNWOODS
Justin decided enough was enough, he turned in his gun and badge and said that he didn't want to be a police officer anymore and received a classy response from one commander and a not-so-classy response from another.

SOURCE: TWITTER | @JBROWNWOODS
SOURCE: TWITTER | @JBROWNWOODS
After quitting the force, Justin immediately started substitute teaching as a stop-gap solution, but ended up discovering that being a teacher is everything he's wanted to do. He said that he feels as if he's making an actual change in his profession.

SOURCE: TWITTER | @JBROWNWOODS
His Twitter thread received tens of thousands of interactions and people were shocked to see some of the behavior exhibited by the officers Justin spoke of.

Among those seeking answers are Jillian Peterson, PhD, a psychologist and professor of criminology and criminal justice at Hamline University, and James Densley, PhD, a sociologist and professor of criminal justice at Metropolitan State University. Together they run the Violence Project, a nonpartisan think tank dedicated to reducing violence in society and improving related policy and practice through research and analysis.

The idea behind the research was to attempt to identify characteristics shared by school shooters. To carry out the project, Peterson and Densley interviewed incarcerated perpetrators of school shootings and their families, students who planned a shooting but changed their minds, survivors, first responders, and teachers and administrators. They also read media and social media, manifestos, suicide notes, trial transcripts, and medical records associated with these mass shootings. Though there is still so much we don't know, after years of research, we do know that most school shooters have these four things in common.
Early-childhood trauma and exposure to violence


In their research, Peterson and Densley found that most of the school shooters they studied experienced early-childhood trauma and/or exposure to violence. This included everything from parental suicide to physical or sexual abuse, neglect, domestic violence and/or severe bullying. "The trauma was often a precursor to mental health concerns, including depression, anxiety, thought disorders, or suicidality," they wrote in an op-ed in the Los Angeles Times.

One of the aims of the research was to help determine not only the common characteristics of school shooters, but also what can be done to help stop them before they take action. For example, Peterson and Densley note that school-based mental health services such as counselors and social workers may help mitigate childhood trauma. In addition, schools can implement a curriculum including positive coping skills, resilience, and social-emotional learning, especially to young boys—according to their data, 98 percent of mass shooters are men.

Another strategy is to be more proactive when it comes to acknowledging childhood trauma. "Those early exposures to violence need addressing when they happen with ready access to social services and high-quality, affordable mental health treatment in the community," Peterson and Densley wrote. Looking for other strategies to stop school violence? Here are powerful things teachers, parents, and kids are doing to prevent school shootings.
Anger over a recent event, resulting in feelings of suicidality


Nearly every mass shooter Peterson and Densley studied had a specific, identifiable point of crisis in the weeks and/or months before the shooting, which resulted in them becoming angry and despondent. According to the authors, relationship rejection or loss often played a role in the shooter's life prior to the attack.

But, they also found that in 80 percent of the cases, school shooters communicated to other people that they were in a crisis, whether it was in the form of a significant change in behavior, expressing suicidal thoughts or plans, or discussing specific threats of violence.

"For this reason, all adults in schools, from the principal to the custodian, need high-quality training in crisis intervention and suicide prevention and the time and space to connect with a student," Peterson and Densley wrote. "At the same time, schools need formal systems in place for students and staff to (anonymously) report a student in crisis." Find out one teacher's smart strategy for addressing students' mental health.
Being inspired by other school shooters


Another commonality among school shooters is that they have studied—and may admire—other school shooters. Today, with the 24-hour news cycle, the internet, and social media, it has never been easier for potential shooters to conduct their own research into not only how to carry out a shooting, but also, the specific script to follow to ensure notoriety after the event—even if they end up dying in the process. In other words, school shootings are socially contagious, and in some cases, media coverage of an incident can provide a blueprint for potential future shooters.

So what can parents, teachers, and school administrators do to help spot the next possible school shooter? Instead of threat-assessment teams focused on risk factors, Peterson and Densley explain that "schools need care teams dynamic enough to see opportunities to connect students with needed resources and safeguard them in a wraparound process."

Moreover, because school shooters seek validation, the authors of the study suggest that schools teach media literacy to help students understand the motivations behind school violence, as well as the extremist propaganda that may prompt it. Finally, Petersen and Densley note that a change in school culture is also required. "Lockdown and active shooter drills send the message that violence is normal when it's not," they wrote.
Having the means to carry out an attack


In order to carry out a school shooting, students need access to firearms and ammunition. According to Petersen and Densley's data, 80 percent of school shooters obtained their weapons from members of their own family, typically parents and grandparents. "Once someone decides life is no longer worth living and that murdering others would be a proper revenge, only means and opportunity stand in the way of another mass shooting," according to the authors.

One thing schools can do to help with this aspect of school violence is to educate parents and other caregivers about ensuring that all firearms are kept locked up and far away from children. In addition, Petersen and Densley recommend that schools make their property less accessible through visible security measures like metal detectors and police officers.

Many mass shooters have also obtained their weapons through legal avenues. According to a survey by the National Institute of Justice as reported by The New York Times, 77 percent of mass shooters between 1966 and 2019 have bought their weapons legally.

The bottom line is that by looking at the data from studies like the one Petersen and Densley conducted, we can try to find patterns of behavior to help identify potential school shooters before they take action. Here's one teacher's brilliant strategy to stop school shootings, and if you're wondering what you can do, find out how to help shooting victims.
