When detectives searched the mother's home, they found a recently fired gun and the officer's service radio in plain view on the kitchen counter, a police report says. There was no secure gun case, nor a holster present in the area, the report continued.

Jail this piece of shit. Also, this is who gets to exercise authority over students. Wtf

The cop at my daughter's former middle school left his gun on the sink in the school bathroom. Thankfully, the kid that found it told the office. Amazingly, he got fired for it, not just paid administrative leave.

Still, I'm glad we got her out of that shithole.

Where do you live that middle schools have cops and carry guns? My kids attend the utmost progressive hellscape that is Berkeley Unified School District and I feel like any cops at all in middle school or lower would be protested harder by the parents than the students.

Yep. All the middle schools in my city here have an officer assigned to them as a full-time position. The high schools get patrol officers to work there part time.

Damn I just got back from Indianapolis

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Aside from crime being too high, Indy isn't all that bad. It's got some good stuff going for it, especially things like the Vonnegut Library and Newfields, but there are way too many minuses in Terre Haute over the pluses and I would not live here if I had the choice.

Ah OK, I was born in Dayton, grew up in Kalamazoo, so that rings true to me. Best of luck to you in any case (as a multiracial weirdo I noped the fuck out of the Midwest long ago, but still have a sweet spot in my heart for Lake Michigan coast in the summer, skidding down sand dunes that make a weird squeaking sound)
