    All the hi5s when he got back prob packed some punch.

    Also, lmao, I know it’s a thing over there, but I still did not expect security & cops at the scene by default (def did expect them be quick about protecting the ICE enthusiast).

    (Also bonus funny double-take - it’s Lake Zurich, Illinois.)

      They keep anywhere from 4 to a dozen or so cops stationed at all the schools in my hometown. They are called Safety Resource Officers or something but they are usually state police. They’re billed as being there in case of emergency. Typically they just harrass minorities and shutdown and unsanctioned student movements like strikes or walk outs. As we’ve seen, they dont historically do much of anything in a real emergency.

        Between the constant presence of (armed??) cops, flag allegiance thing, the sus history lessons, and Chrome laptops … idk man, feels freen’t & it saddens me when I think about it.

        agreed, Uvalde demonstrated pretty thoroughly that school resource officers are not there for emergencies at all and should be abolished. They are low iq freeloader parasites there to LARP and provide security theater.

          I bet no LARPer is paid that good.

          Do you think they can claim PTSD extra pension from the mean girls baking oinking noises at them?

      They’re there to stop kids from punching each other. But if someone shows up with a weapon, they’re out.
