After the terrible Columbine High School shooting, our school administrators, school boards and Sheriff/Police departments across the country had notice to make our schools safer. Did they, NO? Eight years later and 4 more school shootings including Virginia Tech shooting that killed 33. Again everyone was put on notice to make our schools more secure! Three more shootings later and we have the Sandy Hook shooting that killed 28! So at this point if your school board, administrator and law enforcement haven't taken steps to secure your schools they are complete idiots or the don't care about the welfare of your children!! LOW and BEHOLD, five more school shootings including Stoneman Douglas High shooting that killed 17!
What then happened was the crazed get the guns off the street, more gun control and so on and so on!
What I saw was that our school board didn't do their job!! Principles didn't do the jobs! School administrators didn't do their jobs! Sheriff's department didn't do their jobs! FBI didn't do their job!
I ask you this, how many officials were fired or recalled after this. I know the sheriff was, a deputy was but what about the FBI personnel that didn't do their jobs, what about the school administrators, what about principle of the school. Are these people still in positions that this can happen again.
If we do not hold people responsible for there incompetence this will continue to happen! Perfect example is the riots going on now. Let's now take a look at racism.
How can we stop racism in our law enforcement? It's actually pretty easy. Most of the police I've seen that have hurt or killed a black person has been brought up for using excess force before. The question is, why was he still working there. That old saying "we protect our own" is part of the problem. Cops don't want to turn other cops in. Real problem, this allows bad cops to continue on hurting and eventually killing someone, black or white. So I see the problem within the law enforcement environment, including administration and District Attorneys office. If they are covering for each other and no one is getting fired or prosecuted, nothing changes.
I don't know about you but I can usually tell if a person is a racist after spending some time with them. I wonder why our law enforcement people can't or can they and again, 'protecting their own".
My advice is simple, if there is a problem, hold the people who allowed it to happen responsible. Police chiefs, sheriffs, district attorneys and commissioners. They will always point their fingers at someone else but they are the problems.
We can point at the white people as we did with the guns or we can get to the root of the problem and help stop the killings of blacks.
