Just more of the government desentizing the public to its brown shirt tactics.

From the article: Quoting:

“These types of drills are vital in order to evaluate not only law enforcement response, but more importantly to educate the students and school officials in case an actual event were to occur,” Chief ...Bird said in an email to media.

and

Stacy Ray told WTVT that she received a text from her seventh-grade daughter Lauren Marionneaux after two armed officers burst into her classroom. ... police told The Post that one of the officers had his duty firearm – a handgun – drawn.

The gun was loaded, as is required. The other officer was carrying an unloaded AR-15. According to Ray, one of her children texted: “I thought he was going to shoot me.”

“We actually thought that someone was going to come in there and kill us,” the station quoted her as saying. But police say they conduct these drills for the absolute safety of the students.”

Yeah sure....cops say it’s for “safety”....biggest load of BS coming from the jackboots. Exposing & pointing real weapons to children, for “training”. Real classy.....

I’ve gone 180 degrees from my views growing up concerning the police. They’ve gone from 100% pro-cop (good-guys) to a complete distrust and hatred for these lying, thuggish, mafia wannabees.

I know I’m not alone.

Everyone involved in this “exercise” - school administration and police department - should be fired.

Why do they keep doing this, putting on these unannounced raids and emergency drills? Eventually, they will get somebody in the crowd who feels endangered, then pull out their own legally licensed weapon. They are also placing their own officers in jeopardy.

Wonder what would happen to an ‘average Joe’ if they were brandishing weapons in front of little kids?

It is a good thing they didn't try this when I was teaching.

The first one to enter the classroom would have gotten a face full of HCL.

Actually my principal told me they had one of those drill at one of the schools he use to teach in. The same result, traumatized students, parents, and teachers.

Marginally related, and I was a pilot and had very limited experience with ground operations, but I watched those cops move their drawn weapons (albeit fake blue plastic ones) across the back of other officers’ heads as they “cleared” the rooms.

Surely that is bad form.

Never point a gun at something you don’t want to kill. They need to take a basic NRA safety course......or maybe it would be better if they were just fired?

One commenter there made the observation that a kid can be expelled or suspended for pointing a finger in a gun-like imitation because it encourages “gun violence” or some such B/S.

However, these guys can burst into a classroom unannounced, with real firearms, and it’s OK, because (cough) it’s for your safety.

We used to call this:

Assault with a Deadly Weapon
Brandishing a Firearm
Using a Firearm during the commission of a violent Felony.

If my child was in this school, my Attorney would have been FILING CRIMINAL CHARGES against all these NAZI THUGS.

They belong in PRISON!!

This episode illustrate why an armed person in the classroom is so important.

The armed gunman who broke into the room should have been immediately shot and killed.

as armed police officers burst into classrooms with their weapons drawn.

Does this represent a change in tactics? I thought they waited outside the school for it to go quiet before cautiously entering, as with the Columbine incident. Has there been a recent incident where the cops went running in and stopped a mass shooting in progress in a school, or is this just for show?

Not snarking, honest question.

When a five year old bends his fingers and makes the shape of a ‘gun’ with one hand, he receives no tolerance.

When a government employee aims an *actual* gun at young children during an unannounced drill, he receives a taxpayer-paid vacation.

The ironic thing is that in an actual active shooter situation the cops cower outside.

You might want to drop Chief Charlie a short note to express yourself about his (and his department’s) behavior. BTW, he’s white and he’s fat! Typical “doughnut muncher.” From the negative local press and citizen’s responses, my bet is he’s hiding under his desk.
