    Really? I almost thought this was a joke. How about making the schools into...schools? Or community centers? Or community banks? Or mental health centers? Police training? Hard Pass.https://twitter.com/CTULocal1/status/1107424419016859650 …

    This week, Chicago mayoral candidate Lori Lightfoot suggested repurposing schools Rahm closed in 2013 for police training. This initiative would be devastating to those communities. pic.twitter.com/xWTeCgJRXS

        Sound like Memphis. They darn near closed every BLACK school in the city and expanded the WHITE ones. They got designated zones to keep unwanted kids out. Just abt all public schools have been privatized to charter.

        American freedom is not what it seems. If government is attempting a riot situation it's important not to feed into their hands. It's important that all Americans unit in a peaceful protest. If children are not in school they can protest too. Youth for climate is a great example.

        Bad, bad move @LightfootForChi Those empty neighborhood schools should be turned back into schools. Barring that they should benefit the neighborhoods in some way. Take care of children first!

        Also known as police stations? Why can’t they “train” there?

        I have not seen the full video, but I expect she's talking about this as an alternative to the 95$ million dollar police academy the city council just approved.
