Still thinking about school sponsored violence against children. When a 12 year old kid playing with a toy gun gets murdered by the police in a park isn't bringing armed officers into schools like inviting the fox into the hen house? I mean I know cops have been in schools for years now, but really it ain't working and it was never going to.

School systems around the country have armed uniformed police arresting children on a daily basis and making criminal offenses out of normal everyday disciplinary issues which really should result in detention. Instead these kids end up with criminal records as well as battered bodies.

The racist and classist criminalization of children continues, feeding our big business prison industry.
