At least in the article they could still be charged (doubt it) McNamara said she has turned the report over to the Norfolk County district attorney's office, which would be the agency to bring any criminal charges against the former officers.
At the same time you're supporting your wife having kicked someone out of class bc they wouldn't do what she said and "sje couldnt just let him sit there". Not bc they were interrupting the class, just bc they didn't follow her orders. So you can't say you're OK with her doing that and then say the coach shouldn't have done the same. It's one or the other. Your wife did the same thing the coach did, her kid just complied so she didn't have to call the cop. If her student wouldn't have complied, she'd be in the same spot as the coach.
I’m not okay with how the adults handle the situation with the kid in that video. I’m not okay with calling the cops on him. I’m not okay with them assaulting the kid. Neither of which happened with my wife. My wife is a good teacher who cares about and respects her students. She has never had to call school police on any student. So I’m confident in saying it would not have escalated to that level. This is the last I will say about the situation, my wife gave the kid the option to to X or Y he made his own choice. She didn’t call administrators or the cops. It’s not remotely the same thing. FWIW I asked her your question. “What’s the big deal of letting the students who refuse to do anything sit in the class”. Her reply. 1. teachers aren’t babysitters. If your kid doesn’t want to do the classroom assignments keep them home. 2. Other students will try and do the same thing and she’ll lose control of the learning environment. She will have no way to tell anyone what to do because they’ll ask why are the rules different for X. Why doesn’t he have to do it but they do. 3. They never just sit there quietly. She is someone with almost 20 years teaching experience so I’ll defer to her. You can take her word for or not. FWIW the student came back after school and they talked he apologized to her and is back in the classroom doing his work. The other kid who refused to do anything ever is now in another class. We aren’t going to agree so let’s move on.
There should be a button that after a certain point allows other posters to simply call for a vote for the winner of a long and pointless debate just to end it.
So you're ok with the coach forcing him to leave. Just say it. That's what started the entire situation. You're ok with a teacher getting in their feelings bc a kid isn't obedient to them and then forcing the kid to leave. If this kid refuses, we end up with this situation. 1. If a kid is sitting in his seat and staring off into space, he's not affecting anything. 2. "Do what he's doing and you'll fail this class" should be sufficient. 3. That's an entirely different argument. If you say the kid was interrupting the class and not allowing the teacher to teach, cool, he can be removed. That hasn't been this entire discussion. Earlier it was "I can't just let him sit there and do nothing." not "He was making it impossible for me to teach the class." So make up your mind on why the kid was removed. Your earlier comments and even #1 in this post make it seem like she was just pissed he wouldn't do as she said and made him leave her class bc of it.
This is fucking gross. I'd like to think the new chief is playing it cool, legally, in that she's giving it to those than can prosecute and saying more would jeopardize what should be obvious
If the left ever gets to pack the supreme court again besides finding judges that are to the left on social issues they need to find judges that will undo 200 years of case law making police officers accountable to no one
Theres a recent story about the Beverly, ma police department ousting an officer. I don't have the article off hand. She sounds awesome, fwiw, but with the last ma article, sounds like they're trying. Seems ma is taking it seriously
As in creating accountability and actually holding people accountable. Sometimes just firing, but the big one seems to decertify. They cant be cops again. That's huge, Imo
What does tactical gear mean in this case? I assumed it meant bullet proof vest but it could also mean she was wearing cargo pants. Edit: read the link in the post and it was a vest and helmet, unknown if a bullet proof vest or not. The father may have put her in that gear to protect her from the cops, and she was running to the cops for safety (because that’s what kidnapped people do), but the cops killed anyway. https://t.co/dblP2xR8e1
Not as obvious as the 19 yo that was just killed by cops a couple blocks from where my folks live, but to me it’s pretty clear it’s suicide by cop. Cops seemed like they tried to deescalate the situation. They fucked is by not clearing the car. It’s kinda why we need trained professionals to deal with those situations.
Without clearing the car obviously not if they’d cleared the car than I don’t think it would have been an issue. Him telling them he had a weapon in the trunk should have made them tell him to wait for them to check the car. Dude didn’t have to lose his life.
we agree here but I don’t know what they can and can’t do. Can they search the car in this situation without his permission? Anyway they made a mistake and this guy could’ve lived to fight another day. He also made a lot of mistakes obviously
Based on prior situations like this, lets assume this new evidence is made up until proven otherwise. But even if it were true, do they really think they have the authority to murder someone who MAY have committed a crime at some point in the past? She wasn’t armed, and wasn’t a danger to them, she didn’t deserve to die.
