yeah building a relationship between law enforcement and the community, who would want that?
-
Elementary school kids aren't the part of the community that needs a relationship with law enforcement.
-
That's when you want them to learn they can rely on officers. If you wait too long, you'll lose the chance.
-
I don't want kids to learn that AT ALL, because it isn't true. How about use the funding for a Plead the 5th class?
-
goodness man.i don't think you can be more pessimistic.establish a relationship early and you can change the culture.
-
I have reasons to be pessimistic. Cops are trained in lies and coercion to make the case, they aren't our buddies.
-
i'm sorry, buts thats no reason to write off any attempt to establish a positive relationship.

Stop teaching children that something "uncomfortable" will be magically removed from their environment. Just walk around the cop.

And you wonder why we have the distrust of our fine men in blue? If a policeman offends a person, maybe they shouldn't be here.
