The Justice Department issued new guidance this week on preventing school police from sexually abusing students, a first-of-its kind effort aimed at creating safeguards around cops with immense access to children.

Weird how the fear is teaching kids about queerness — which will always exist and has existed since the beginning of humanity — but they didn’t think of these kinds of obvious protections
lol if kids were being raped by clowns ad often as they were by cops, you’d all ban circuses in your towns forever & because you’ve failed to protect your children from gun violence in public schools you have to put these thugs in your schools around your children?! Ha! Seriously WHAT THE FUCK?!
New guidance just means another hurdle for the bad guys to jump over. And guess what! They have no trouble jumping over. The cops dont seem to be doing anything good. Probably spend most days harrassing the students.
The guidance comes after a Post investigation revealed predatory school police officers have used their positions to exploit students, while the DOJ, law enforcement agencies and school systems have failed to take basic steps to prevent sexual misconduct.
So good guy police need to be in schools with guns to kill the bad guys with guns that want to kill kids but the good guy police need guidance on how not to sexually exploit the kids they’re protecting
The Post identified more than 200 elementary, middle and high school police officers who were charged with crimes involving child sexual abuse from 2005 through 2022.
The Abused by the Badge series examines police officers accused of sexually abusing children and the systemic failures that allow those crimes to occur.
Why do news organizations lean towards headlines/social post with minorities as the main photo? I think I know why but I wonder if there is research about this. Sure this guy is terrible but let's post equitably. My local news does the same. Often a minority. When the data says otherwise. 🤔
I'm not saying there's an issue posting anyone. But there is an issue if 80% of the time a minorities photo is posted but the data says it's not a minority 80% of time. Or insert any group on any topic. News organizations should be delivering accurate representations across the board.
Yeah I think the poster is just making an observation about the rando they chose for this article and other articles being a minority in addition to being a b
I was working on a case in Placer County CA and randomly ran into 5 different officers who left their positions after sexually assaulting girls/women. The job attracts creeps who want to abuse power, and when they get caught breaking the law they just resign, and get hired somewhere else.
About time! The fact that this wasn’t already a priority is shameful. Protecting our kids from predators, no matter their badge, should be non-negotiable. Let’s see if the GOP backs this or keeps looking the other way like they always do. Accountability starts now, folks!
Well, your bizzaro world counterpart will more than likely have this rolled back since his DOJ is going to be the Department of Retribution and just plain getting even. We're screwed don't ya know...
You don't want trans in your bathrooms? I don't want any adult males in positions of authority alone with any child. They have proven they have no self control of their bodies or minds.
Wanna stop child abuse in school? make any interaction between student and a person in power is filmed, under penalty of termination without a reference.
So law enforcement hired to protect students from gun violence in schools (they aren’t - Uvalde, TX) are sexually abusing kids? There is no male that can be trusted. Tell me again about gay & trans people 🤨😡
Okay, I realize I asked for too much, but shouldn't we just not hire pedophiles as police? And is the proper remedy to pedophilia in police departments actually to train it out of them?
As I recall a much discussed remedy to police officers murdering citizens is training. I'm sure that works well.
Indeed, and much like school children being massacred in classrooms, as a society we are incapable of effectively addressing the causes to these extremely destructive problems.
So who were the powers to be who managed these folks and perhaps personally held liable without holding taxpayers as hostage to their nefarious activities

Can you "train" a sexual predator?
Seems like you'd want to weed out the predators to prevent them from working at the schools in the first place.
MAGA:
- ignored the guns
- brought in sexual predators
- banned books to "protect kids"
Can't see a flaw in that strategy...
Were police confused and thought only NON cops weren’t allowed to abuse children?
So glad pearl clutchers and homophobes are looking at drag queens all this time but ignored the guy with the badge
Then they were abused by pastors, priests, nuns but republikkkans claimed it was the children's fault,
They they were abused by school police officers hired to protect them, but republikkkans blamed liberals
And….hi Onions!

/s, just in case
Maybe the answer isn't guns and guards on campus, but removing guns from the streets.
The right wing seems to whine endlessly about regulation, but it seems humans cannot regulate themselves even in the most horrific of circumstances.
Same cop and the police chief were later arrested for embezzlement. Fuck them.

Training pedophilia out of persons with privileged access to children is as effective as moving pedophile priests to new parishes.
