@CoralSpringsPD Sgt. Jeff Heinrich was off duty and working on the Stoneman Douglas field when shots rang out. He immediately helped the wounded even though he didn’t know whether his wife and son inside the school were safe. #MSDStrong #DouglasStrong
ROFL!
Yes, it’s not just in Broward County.
Or the next.
Pity you
If this unethical practice of not arresting or disciplining the youth for crimes committed so they can get money is now exposed that would be GOOD.
People need to lose their jobs, get sued for everything they have, and possibly go to jail for this corruption that led to the death of 17 that we know of, may be more.
ALL for MONEY!!!
YIKES!!! I need eye bleach, after seeing that pic!!

Obama admin made schools more dangerous: Column
The Trump administration can bring discipline back to schools and help students of color.
MAX EDEN | USA TODAY
There’s been a sea of change in school discipline over the past five years. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan was convinced that the striking racial disparity in school suspensions was “not caused by differences in children.” According to Duncan and others, students of color were being discriminated against by their teachers, fostering a “school-to-prison pipeline [that] must be challenged every day.”
So, the Obama administration issued federal guidance putting school districts on notice that even if their discipline policy was “neutral on its face” and “administered in an evenhanded manner,” they could be subject to a federal civil rights investigation if minorities were suspended at a higher rate. Partly in response to federal pressure, over 50 school districts, serving 6.35 million students, implemented reforms and 27 states revised their laws regarding school discipline.
An examination of the NYC School Survey shows that, in the eyes of students, school climate has deteriorated significantly from the 2013-14 to the 2015-16 school years. The deterioration was most dramatic in schools that serve 90+% students of color, and especially striking compared to those same schools in the last two years
To make the case that reforms in St. Paul, Minn. had gone awry, Ramey County attorney John Choi noted that the number of assaults against school staff tripled from 2014 to 2015, terming it a “public health crisis.” That’s a tragic result for a policy intended to make school discipline more fair for students of color.
Concerned teachers’ union leaders have commissioned teacher surveys that suggest that discipline reform hurting the students it’s trying to help in many other cities. In Tampa Bay, Fla., 66% of teachers said that the new policy did not make schools more orderly. In Santa Ana, Calif., as well, 66% of teachers said the new system was not working. In Denver, Colo., 75% of teachers said that the new system did not improve student behavior. In Madison, Wis., only 13% of teachers thought that discipline reform was having a positive effect. But in Baton Rouge, La., 60% of teachers said there was an increase in violence or violent threats from students, and in Syracuse, N.Y., two-thirds of teachers said they were worried about their safety at work.
The press coverage has been alarming as well. After the federal government pressured Oklahoma City to revise its discipline policies, one teacher, quoted in a Daily Oklahoman editorial, said teachers “were told that referrals would not require suspension unless there was blood.” In Buffalo, Marc Bruno, a teacher who got kicked in the head by a student said: “We have fights here almost every day.... The kids walk around and say, ‘We can’t get suspended — we don’t care what you say.’” Judy Kidd, president of the Charlotte Classroom Teachers Association, said, “[T]here are some administrators who would rather ignore the behavior to get their suspension numbers down. ... In some schools there’s no structure and no expectation of behavior.”
What a lot of psycho-babble!! So glad there is a NEW SHERIFF in town.
Obummer is just plain NUTS.
Obummer’s Rules:
NEW GUIDELINES FOR POLICING IN SCHOOLS
Seek community input when drafting agreements with law-enforcement agencies that detail officers’ roles in schools and limit their involvement in disciplinary issues.
Incorporate local, state, and federal civil rights laws into those agreements and establish processes for monitoring compliance and receiving complaints about potential violations.
Set policies for hiring and training school resource officers on issues like appropriate use of restraints, child development, and the effects of youth involvement with the justice system.
Train teachers and staff to avoid calling on school officers to assist with nonviolent disciplinary issues.
Establish a process for evaluating school resource officers.
“Communities that do not trust cops in their neighborhoods do not want to invite them into their schools with their children.” — Jonathan Stith, Alliance for Educational Justice
And just who was it that fostered the WAR ON COPS? Hummmmmm!
LMAO here.........too funny.
Thank you for that. Very interesting - especially coming from USA today.
Nuts, just plain nuts.
You can not teach where there is next to no discipline.
I know that our administrators felt like their hands were tied, our discipline level went way down but living in a small community we were not afraid to try and keep control.
One thing that really worried and upset me was the lack of wanting to learn especially in our minority students, mostly Hispanic and Native American, each year seemed to get worse.
They just didn’t care.
They would smart off and interrupt those who still wanted a good education.
I was so glad to retire.
They have mad a ton selling none BPA stuff.
BPA unlikely to be harmful, federal study shows
That is way funny.
Read the comments, so sad, what was Trudeau thinking.
Vote him out Judy, he is embarrassing your great country.
Can you start a recall?
Thank you Prime Minister Turnbull and Mrs. Turnbull for a great visit to the @WhiteHouse today. I enjoyed talking with Mrs. Turnbull about our shared concerns for children and solutions to making the world a better place for them. pic.twitter.com/WEUudE6nOC— Melania Trump (@FLOTUS) February 23, 2018
very nice video

My daughter, Ivanka, just arrived in South Korea. We cannot have a better, or smarter, person representing our country.
Gov. Mike Huckabee Verified account @GovMikeHuckabee 13h13 hours ago Gov. Mike Huckabee Retweeted Donald J. Trump
Gee, I hate to do this, but @POTUS is wrong and I respectfully disagree. Ivanka is great and smart, but @PressSec is there too so we have THE BEST & SMARTEST representative. Of course, I'm as objective about her as CNN is about @realDonaldTrump
CNN says they did not provide a script or questions for anyone ever... this picture says otherwise! 
Sadly, the young people were thrilled to get their pot, and now that they’ve been on it for awhile, they haven’t gotten any smarter.
I miss Prime Minister Harper.
