Denver, Minneapolis, Portland, Seattle & Oakland cutting ties, disbanding school bases Police.

Denver's school board votes to end its relationship with the city's police department - CNN (https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/12/us/denver-school-board-cuts-ties-to-police-trnd/index.html)

Wasn't it about 5 minutes ago people were demanding armed Police at every school in the country?

And who is going to defend and protect these kids?

If a parent in one of these school districts they would have a problem dealing with me.

Kind of think the police would be on my side

Next will be taking honest people's guns. No police, no guns. This will make it safe for the children?

Maybe CHAZ can send over their armed guards

They are too busy going house to house searching for TP that people are hoarding.

Politically driven cowards.
Too stupid to realize they are advertising "we are a gun free zone again, so those who would still harm/kill the children....come on in at your leisure".

Politicians are like sail boats, they go in whatever direction the wind blows.

Any school board that eliminates police protection is simply inviting another mass murder.

What did folks think would happen? Probably won't be any traffic control Officers at the start and end of school!

What positions would be good for elimination for a City that plans to defund its Police Force? I can't think of one...except maybe parking meter patrol - but that would likely "defund" community coffers with tickets not being written for timed out meters!
