I regularly see this exact thing, can’t give me some bs that this is normal.

Even cops drive like assholes in their work vehicles. Had a New Haven cop tailgate the shit out of me yesterday morning in traffic. I couldn’t switch lanes or don’t anything but speed and I’ll be damned if you’re pushing me to get a ticket doing 60 in a 35.

Fuck you, flash your lights and sirens. Don’t be a part of the problem officer and tailgate me like an idiot.

Just remember when they when thru the whole defund pd there are groups out there that went against police and traffic stops . .. but If they do pull people over you get 20 year social media lawyers giving the pd shit . And than things escalate and the officer get jammed up .. so it’s easier for them to just sit on side of road .. thank all the people that are shit bag and the people that defend them for putting the rest of society at risk

They are sitting there because that's their patrol area, so if there's a call nearby they can have a quick response. Like if someone has a medical emergency or there's a burglary they can respond right away.

I’ve been a pharmacist in CT for almost 30 years and I have always done my best to help people. I’ve spent time collecting syringes from parking lots of stores and facilities I’ve worked in because I don’t want anyone to have an accidental needle stick. (Many times on my own time) I’ve collected used syringes at work from “drug users” and never judged. I’ve tried to educate. A safe site like this isn’t JUST about a physical location to inject drugs. It’s also about educating people and keeping the community safe. If having safe sites leads to even 1 accidental needle stick being prevented it’s worth it. Please imagine a little kid in sandals who perhaps gets stuck in the foot while walking in the Chucky Cheese parking lot (I’ve seen needles in real life is this exact location). Imagine infection or disease results??? By promoting safe use and disposal without stigma we can decrease accidental sticks, help the environment, reduce overdose, and help heal the community. Maybe I’m just trying to say that safe sites offer more than just a place to “get high”.

“Everything is about building a relationship with the violent student and trying to coach emotional regulation.”

As opposed to…. What exactly?

School isn’t just for teaching the Pythagorean Theorem, it’s also about proper socialization and how to work with people you like/dislike/hate because that what you do in the real world. The idea that an 8th grader doesn’t need help in their emotional development is laughable, and to think all parents will do their due diligence in teaching emotional regulation is a pipe dream

No i mean I was lazy, didn't have direction. Had the whole college bullshit shoved down my throat. Carrot, stick, whatever. Forcing people to learn and anger or discipline seems crazy when you suspect they might be future waitresses or nurses aids. People can always choose to expand their education. Pushy educators, and sadistic make it seem like your cum loude by 23 or bust....lol. I let the kids be kids. I do remind them that a diploma is valuable to future education.

>I was one of those kids the parents shadowed and bullied through school.

This sounds pretty bad, could you elaborate on this at all? I'm not sure I understand; if I had to guess they thought you were a danger to the other kids, for Columbine-y/sexual orientation reasons? Sorry you had to go through that.
