For the third time in 8 months “Pistol Play” erupted at Denver’s East HS. This time as a couple Faculty members were searching a student for a weapon. Yup, he had one and used it to shoot the school employees.
The suspect has been identified as having a number of problems and was searched every day for a gun.
One must ask…would a School Resource Officer(s) prevented this shooting? Don’t know, but the school board threw the SRO’s out at the end of the school year in 2021.
The schools saved about 700K and were going to hire mental health and restorative justice practitioner’s…What ever the hell those are.
When the Cops were dismissed from the schools, the board said…”students were afraid of the cops and study’s have shown that students felt that this perpetuated the school to prison thought process”…or something like that.
Police Officers are from the community. They can relate to students and, perhaps STOP the school to prison mentality. They also can gain students trust and prevent a shooting, such as this, from happening. Hey, Denver School Board…Wake Up Fools! Get the cops back in schools. They’ll be a lot safer for everyone. God Help Us!
Peace
