David, doesn't matter the venue....they're all "copy cats".They're all targeting soft targets and want to be martyrs. The media is playing right into their hands.

Maybe the school officials should be asked if they applied for/received safety grants for officers through the "Secure Our Schools" fed. grant program($1bil.?) or an accounting of how any funds received were spent(like in Broward Co.). The fact remains that removing officers was a widespread movement(like in Denver) after the George Floyd incident because of ideological(racial) issues(oppression/trauma/criminalization of students)
There are plenty of articles detailing the removals and why they were argued for...

I won't say funding is never an issue but the real question is what has removed more school officers, funding or the widespread denial of what some kids and segments of our society are like and believe.
My definition/understanding may be wrong but it seems like some of them want to be taken alive.
IMO those aren't martyrs.
But maybe leering at everyone in court, smiling at the TV cameras and being a drag on the taxpayers for decades gives them feelings of continued power?
Most private Christian schools won't apply for or accept any kind of federal grants or handouts even if they're not monetary. They fear that strings will be attached if not presently but even in the future.Maybe the school officials should be asked if they applied for/received safety grants for officers through the "Secure Our Schools" fed. grant program($1bil.?) or an accounting of how any funds received were spent(like in Broward Co.).

agree - our civil liberties sometimes bite us in the ass
