See the video. Why has the culture grown to the extent that people really believe they can beat a teacher to a pulp with impunity? Is this what people want for the police too; for the streets to become the Wild West, but with no Wyatt Earp? We need to allow teachers and police officers to control areas under their charge. I see nothing sensitive or appealing about that alleged "young man."And caught in the act? on video? Presumed innocent? Really?
A friend was a substitute teacher after she retired from a corporate career. She found there was no discipline in the elementary schools because the parents were not interested in what their kids did. One day when an eight year old girl was misbehaving she told my friend, "I don't have to do what you say! I'm going to tell my mommy that you touched me in a private place." She quit the same day. Scary times.
A coworker's dad who had made a lot of money in his private business and wanted to give back to the community taught high school. After a year he was told his services would not be needed. "Your pass rate is too low. " He didn't pass enough kids because they didn't do the work.
That is the state of most public schools today, especially in poor neighborhoods.
[quote=erasure;49283718]I don't know how bad the whole violence issue is in Milwaukee, but recently I came across this video, regarding Chicago.
And Trump.
Interesting video. I like Pastor Scott. The problem in my view is corrupt Dem controlled Chicago. It's been that way forever. They have now declared themselves a sanctuary city which means they won't get any Federal money and crime will continue to increase. We have to ask what Mayor Rahm Emmanuel, who used to work for Obama, and his cronies stand to gain from maintaining the status quo. You can't just throw money at a problem especially with such a corrupt system.

Watched, and was horrified. That kind of violence is never okay, and I hope the kid receives an appropriate sentence. However, yes, he is presumed innocent until he has had his day in court. If you dislike that, please take it up with the men who wrote the Constitution. Allowing anyone a fair trial means we have to allow everyone a fair trial.
This is nothing new. We had kids punching teachers back when I was going to school. Only difference is now there are cell phones to capture the whole thing on video.
