The only cops we had were two officers we called Starsky and Hutch. They were assigned to my high school and intervened in a lot of nonsense. They weren't enough. We needed more. Here they are taking them away for their feel-good bs.
"Feel-good bs" now redefined as including ending the over-policing of Black and Brown kids, interrupting the school-to-prison pipeline, and using social science research to inform how best to help kids in trouble, and protect the overall student population.
I love you, but your ideas on school safety are woefully out of date. "Starsky and Hutch" indeed.
Oh God. You don't think they didn't try everything back then up to now? They're not going to do anything that helps anybody. 10 years from now there will still be dysfunction. They're not interested in solving crime. Just being able to foment the right attitude and re-direct money to suit themselves.
You don't think that people are being murdered around me right now every day that isn't on your radar? We're swimming in crime. You think cops are the only thing that bring harm to Black and brown people? Cops are a tiny tiny fraction of that.
