College in Boston apologizes for letting police officers use its bathrooms

Boston’s Berklee College of Music is now apologizing for "perpetuating feelings of oppression, silencing, and marginalization” by allowing the city’s police officers to use its bathrooms.

The school’s public safety department, in a Facebook post, said Boston Police have been staging officers near the institution since a May 31 demonstration in memory of George Floyd. This past Sunday, officials let the cops use the Berklee Performance Center’s restrooms after an informal decision was “made on the spot."

“We have heard from many of you personally and across social channels of your hurt and anger that this access was permitted, especially as the facility is not currently open for students and members of our community,” the statement read. “Allowing police officers into the space was in no way meant to undermine Berklee’s support for Black Lives Matter.

Proposal: Henceforth do not distress Democrats, BLM sympathizers, other socialists, communists, and snowflakes with police protection and services. Someone wants to rape, rob, kill, burn them — too bad. Let them call a social worker or community organizer to live their lives for them. Investigate scary noose and graffiti hoaxes? Nope. Don’t want BLM and the homeless taking your homes by force? Sorry, wouldn’t want to stress you with police intervention. We suggest you give trespassers your keys to avoid conflict.

For the rest of us, please apply all that freed-up police time protecting us and our hard-earned property.

Well, nearly a half century ago, the standard ad for a band member for a working band in the Greater Boston area ran something like this:

LOL! Jokes on you! Their students get federal loans. If the students don’t get federal loans...the college won’t have many students.

That’s not what you typed originally and you know it.. So perhaps you need to think before you type.

I guess they must have spent several hours sanitizing it.

I just called up the College Security office and asked them about this. I told them that this was absurd.

The security officer agreed with me.

He said that the order came down from high up.

Folks, we are being surrounded by powerful elites, who are disgusting human beings.

The college is triggering me with feelings of oppression, silencing, and marginalization when they refuse to honor the police who protect life and property.

You nailed it—it is a handful of elites who are enabling this insanity.

I recently had a spirited discussion with a mob of Berks.

I now understand their problem.

Don’t call the cops if you need help, just lay down and get raped, robbed, or murdered, you liberal assholes.

I graduated from the Berklee College of Music (with honors), several decades ago.

And now, for the first time ever, I am embarrassed to have attended.

We are going to have to literally fight for our country. It’s come to that, with little question. Most of us who have just tried to have ‘normal’ lives have some degree of Normalcy Bias, and really don’t want to believe that thinks are as dire as they are. The thing the Trump Presidency has done as much as anything is to take the masks off of the left, before they were ready. They are now out in the open with their desire to totally change America and American society, and to mold it to fit their delusional world view.

You need ONLY apologize when you’ve done wrong.
