Columnist: Arming Teachers Will Lead Them to Murder Black Students
breitbart ^ | JOEL B. POLLAK

Posted on 02/23/2018 5:58:37 AM PST by davikkm

Elie Mystal, a lawyer, Harvard graduate, and editor at the popular “Above the Law” legal blog, has written a column suggesting that proposals to arm teachers in public schools will lead to black students being murdered. In his post, “You Realize Arming Teachers Is Going To Lead To Black Students Getting Murdered By Their Teacher, Right?”, Mystal not only dismisses the idea of arming teachers as an ineffective way to prevent mass shootings, but also argues that the inherent racial prejudices of teachers will lead to tragic results:

[T]here’s one more problem that I’m sure most white people haven’t thought about yet: arming American teachers will directly result in students of color being shot to death at school.

I know that because the only other group of public employees that is armed at the behest of the state shoots unarmed people of color on the reg. The cops actually receive extensive training on how to use their firearms, how to asses threats, and how to deescalate situations, and yet they still murder innocent civilians all the time.

Giving a teacher a gun is ASKING them to be afraid. It makes poor judgment a homicidal offense. And that danger will be borne by black and brown students. The students who make teachers “afraid” just by their very existence.

America is entirely too racist to arm teachers. Our legal system is INCAPABLE of holding public employees to account for murdering minorities. Black and brown students should not have to die because disgruntled white boys are shooting up their schools.

Only arm black teachers, to do anything else would be racist. </Richter scale irony>

If the Hero Aaron Feis had been armed he and many others would still be alive.

Arming the Coward Scott Peterson *spit* accomplished nothing.

Thanks to the internet and the massive news cycle we’ve created, it gives the loones more than enough rope to hang themselves.

When they really get started with this lunacy, I just want to say, “Really, that’s interesting! Do tell me more. And please, move closer to the microphone.”

Get admitted into Harvard or other Ivy simply by checking the correct box on the application and then get out thinking that you're way more than the dumbass that you are and always will be. See also

Well, then, perhaps black students need to shut up, sit down and start paying attention in class.

This is pure liberal mental illness. I once worked as a mental health tech in a mental health ER. WE had a sign that read “Upon entering this office police officers must unload their weapon.” A little girl about 22 fresh out of MSW school and there to save the world asked me what the sign meant. I turned the question around and asked her what she thought it meant. She said “ I think it means police officers should disarm so they don’t over react and shot a patient.” I was a cop myself working there as a second job. Over the many years since then I have often wondered how many lives that moron had destroyed with her stupid attitude about who the good guys are and who the bad guys are.

This is racism of the highest order.

What if the teacher is black? Will they just shoot white perps?

As a hunter {shot my first dinner in 1949}, Army Vet, NRA member, grandfather, I know that arming willing {and willing to be properly trained} teachers, will be an enormous deterrent to any would be school shooter.

If not a deterrent, then a quicker end to the shooter.

The author is a deranged racist.

Then why do you support the disarming of civilians?

Harvard graduate doesn’t impress me any more. She needs to learn the definition of murder.

Liberals have decided that blacks are a special, protected class of citizens, so as far as they're concerned, if you shoot a black criminal to save your own life or that of another, you're a "murderer."

Only in those instances where these “yutes” attack and pummel their teachers.

letting teachers pack to combat school violence is akin to upping food stamps to wean the poor off welfare. neither are root causes and both only ramp up the problem.

For an educated person, the meaning of the word murder seems to be foreign. Killing a thug shooting up a school is not murder. It’s threat removal. If you don’t shoot up the school, you don’t have to worry about getting shot by protectors.

This is right up there with the idiot reporters at an anti-Trump rally shortly after the election, where they said that black people were “legitimately afraid” that they were going to be gunned down in the streets by police, because Trump won.
