To some, cops' lives don't matter, so why would teachers' lives matter? Unless if they are black of course.
I don't think you can fairly compare teachers to cops. Cops' lives matter, but when you're too cocky because you got a badge and a gun and lose your professionalis
m and escalate the situation further, I think your life can be justified being worthless. Most of these police brutality occurrences are due to "mad dog" behaviors. I'm not saying all cops are bad, just a handful of bad apples, but if you protect them you're just as bad. That's the biggest problem every community here in America has. Cops making a case that their lives matter or are in danger? If you're that scared don't become a cop, besides who told you that you can't have body armor and a partner who's going to watch your every move. It's probably best to just shoot 1st and questions later, I supposed...
Solemn Wind,
I'm sure American public schools and the board of education had experienced plenty of student disciplinary actions to the extreme in the past, where the government had to make restrictions on how far punishments can go. And yes, teachers and admins are powerless to do anything except expulsion which doesn't solve the problem but make another school their problem. I think everyone knows where the source of the cancer but don't have the stomach to get rid of it. If a person love to teach, that's their passion, and you can't really stop them from the things they love to do. But if they can choose the course to teach, should teach advance courses... It's regular courses that are the worst, this is why many teachers lose interest in teaching and just putting up for the sake of a pension plan and a paycheck because they can't go anywhere else.
