      I get what you are doing here but I think you are misled. The police has a monopoly on violence to protect the state apparatus and the ruling class. Protecting normal citizens is a means to an end of that, it never was the goal. The US police originated in a force that brought back run away slaves. Are we talking about run away slaves? Is there private property at risk? Is the school shooter threatened any organ of the state? So why bother? TLDR ACAB

            It was their duty to rush in there and have 4-5 of them get shot to stop it and they valued themselves over civilian lives. Idgaf what the supreme court says their duty is. Fuck 'em.

    And you have 15 minutes to inhale your food before you’re kicked out of the cafeteria. Keep up that productivity.

    School district here even got rid of passing time to lunch. Your time begins the second class ends

      So I’m new to this and couldn’t figure out why kids don’t finish their lunch. Why are they given like 15 minutes to eat? It’s unhealthy.

        The why is beyond me. Trying to meet state hours in minimal days to save operating cost? Lunch pulls admin and other staff to monitor instead of doing their other routines, so they try to minimize it maybe?

        15 to eat, kick them out to recess so they can clean tables for the next group.

        Many don’t bother to eat because the lunch line eats up their time, too.

          They also yeah combine with recess time so some kids don’t eat at all because they just want to energy release and play while others are just slower eaters, either way so unhealthy habit building.

          Gotta get them ready for the work world where their employer will try to ignore their required (unpaid) lunch…

      Where I am, parents have to pay extra to have their kids stay at school during lunch. Like we’re paying a babysitter to watch them during that time. And then if we don’t pay the kid isn’t even allowed to stay on school grounds at lunch time.

          Alberta, Canada.

          Lunch supervision is an optional service that covers the direct cost of supervisors who set up lunchrooms, supervise students while eating lunch and on the playground, and then clean up following the lunch break. Lunch supervision costs about $1.55 per day.

          Families are free to make alternative arrangements consistent with their individual circumstances, e.g., child goes home for lunch.

          Lunch supervision is an annual fee that is broken down into monthly installments for ease of payment. Refunds will not be provided for occasional disruption of service due to vacation.

      In my country lunch is completely different. We also only have 15 minutes to eat, but we just eat in the classroom with the teacher of the previous hour. So you have to bring your own lunch, in my school you can even buy any food. But at least I am allowed to go into the city during lunch.

        The NYPD is also not in constant famine, they’re one of the richest cities on the planet.

          Because they’re an international trading hub at the central of a global empire.

          North Korea is a bombed out backwater with more economic sanctions on it than Cuba, whose people spent the last 70 years gradually rebuilding after the US literally bombed them back to the stone age.

          Even then, NYers are getting shot over proximity to fare evasion. Korea’s rough, but I’ve yet to hear of anyone executed for failing to pay for a bus ticket.

            I’m not the one who made the comparison.

            Also, bombed out? They were a larger economy than sk at first, Kim IL sung did an OK job.

            But the problem with a hereditary monarchy is the fastest sperm is often the dumbest, as evidenced by his 2 moron heirs.

            But no, his hereditary dystopian dictatorship where people are reduced to eating grass and anyone who disagrees ends up in camps is still better than NYC, where we know about incidents like this which everyone agreed was horrific because we have freedom of speech.

            But please, go to North Korea right now and start talking shit about Lil Un, I’m curious how that will go.

              They were a larger economy than sk at first

              They were a larger economy after decades of domestic rebuilding, while SK was left to languish under a brutal right-wing military dictator. Then the US transitioned the SK economy into a tech manufacturing hub and granted a handful of influential families access to the limitless low-interst credit window of the Federal Reserve. The South became a workhouse for the American retail electronics market, where Korean workers got paid pennies to work long hours in dark warehouses to make low-cost bobbles for their western peers. This allowed these six influential families to go on a construction bonanza using the leverage afforded from foreign export revenues. Cheap steel from China combined with the fossil fuels imported from Russia and the Middle East, allowed the SK economy to soar past its heavily sanctioned NK peer… on paper.

              But the real legacy of the Korean economy for its people enormous entrenched personal debts. The South Korean economy is a product of cheap foreign lending. Household indebtedness to gross disposable income ratio in South Korea from 2012 to 2022 has grown from 152% to 203%.

              South Korea’s prosperity is entirely predicated on its continued access to cheap credit and cheap foreign commodities imports. North Korea’s stalled growth is a consequence of its embargo, the continued need to deter a large military presence on its southern border, and its need to build and maintain an economy entirely within one half of a small peninsula.

              But please, go to North Korea right now and start talking shit about Lil Un

              Please go to your local police department and start screaming obscenities at whomever is on duty.

    Shit schools make poverty trapped children, and poverty tapped children are more willing to not care about the legality of trying to survive or gain reputation with their friends/city. And the police love locking away people.

    It’s a win/win. You lower the cash to schools, increase the cash to police, police catch more “Criminals”, and the politicians who sold this can tout the tough on crime to the next election cycle.
