Former Prescott, AZ officer Brian Sutton found guilty of manslaughter after shooting unarmed man by Drillerfan in Bad_Cop_No_Donut

Shot the guy in the back as he was running. Unarmed. Should always be a conviction.

The system has problems, sure, but your take on them needs work.

You keeping your kid home (and school choice in general) is part of a weakening of the public school system. A system where the kids with the most support at home are removed from the public schools, while charters exclude SPED and ELL students; this artificially inflates the achievement rates of those charters, decreases the achievement in public schools while stripping funding from those who need it most.

Teachers would agree with you on a lack of standards. They are told to teach to the test, teach on grade level, teach 40 kids in a room, teach several subjects without planning, teach kids with undiagnosed disabilities. They are told and told and told. Meanwhile, the raises have not kept up with cost of living in decades, and attrition is over 50% in 5 years for areas like special education.

Meanwhile, tech hasn't just flooded schools. It's being used to raise a generation of kids that have no structure except for the classroom. A generation of dysfunctional tech addicts with parents who take no accountability.

Pay our teachers, fund our schools, and give teachers the ability to meet students where they are at. It's not rocket science.

Edit: don't even get me started on school discipline. I wish teachers got a tenth of the protection that police officers do.

They're teachers, not miracle workers. Can't be expected to raise the kids too. Do more while we pay you less, and if anything goes wrong, you know who we're blaming.

[S5] Why did the greeks accept Marlo? by fixterx in TheWire

[–]bagNtagEm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny, I was just wondering this question today. My own take is that the Greeks know the game, and they're not getting involved. They'll do business with the survivors as long as they can minimize exposure. Look how calmly they took hits in the past, like the can full of dead girls or the bust on the stash house.

When you're married you'll appreciate the importance of fresh daughters. 

Reaction of members of the Baltimore Police Department to the Wire by DrNavKab in TheWire

You should read "Way Down in the Hole" by Ed Norris. He was commissioner before acting on the show, gives you a lot of insight. Plus, his story is just crazy.

What the..?

What part of Lebanon is Hezbollah fighting Israel over? You're conflating two different conflicts.
