My Teacher’s a Fink
Oklahoma City Police Department Crime Report: “ON 12/17/10, AT 945 HOURS, RP WOODSIDE ADVISED ME THAT SHE HAD A STUDENT IN HER CLASSROOM, IN POSSESSION OF A PERMANENT MARKER. AR [age 13, name redacted] WAS WRITING ON A PRICE OF PAPER, WHICH CAUSED IT TO BLEED OVER ONTO THE DESK… I ALLOWED RP TO SIGN A CITATION AGAINST AR AND AR WAS TRANSPORTED TO C.I.C. [juvie] BY SGT. SPENCE. SGT. SPENCE BOOKED THE MARKER INTO THE PROPERTY ROOM.” [The Smoking Gun]
I feel much safer now.
Oh, they’re wimps. Florida knows how to criminalize the kiddos. In the past couple years, that state has had two separate incidents (different cities, schools, and years) of kindergartners being handcuffed and arrested for having temper tantrums in class.
@Dodger and all the other iPad owning lucky bastards: The ALT text is “Unsafe at Any Bleed.”
ETA: I’d have written “Let It Bleed,” but that’s just me. War, children, it’s just a shot away…
Now it’s Sharpies?
I’m pretty sure in Canada City, both teacher and principal would be castigated for wasting police time not just by the police but also the school board and the public.
Are you fucking kidding me?
Thank goodness the American police community has come to understand that there is no difference between a Sharpie and a stinger missile.
@FlyingChainSaw: Unless said Stinger missile is pointed at the head of a Mooslem, in which case, Hoo-Fucking-Raw, die!
@TJ/ Jamie Sommers /TJ: Darling, I don’t know why this is on The Smoking Gun. This shit happens every FUCKING DAY to black and brown kids in this country. Forget about DWB, we have GTSWB (going to school while black/brown). I obviously need a new life perspective, because I wasn’t outraged by this, but instead mildly amused by the shock and outrage.
