Police are not an ethnic demographic. They are a job that people choose to take on. And a large percentage of the people who choose to do so are violent. Your comparison is so logically flawed that you should try better.

Studies show that %40 percent of police households experience domestic violence.
Ok, I took easy way out.

So here's a not so interesting fact. Occupation that causes most child abuse is teacher/headteacher. Why? Teachers are with kids as an occupation. Close proximity. Emotional connection against policy..

Police officers are surrounded by violence.

So I looked up domestic violence by occupation. NHL player, NFL players, MMA fighter, customer service workers.. Nurses. Nurses were 4th highest. Above the athletes. So you would say nurses choose their occupation due to their violent personalities?

I bet most police officers choose that occupation since that's what their family has done for generations. Some actually thought they were gonna serve and protect. Stress mounts up, things go wrong. Now they are monsters. So we are going to let mass shooters shoot up school, mass mob from emptying out stores.. If not police, who's going to stop them? Mental Health Workers? I hope they are not those violent nurses.

It seems that 40% number has been going around for some time. I'm not finding any new studies by occupation.

The pills are a cop out for half assed parents that won’t do their job. All this ADHD and other sensitivities kids have these days is crap and a real parent would’ve disciplined any of these bs inclinations out at a young age. But parents would rather trust their big pharma shill doctors than their own instinct on what is right and wrong.
I have no doubt that children’s brain chemistry and perhaps even brain physiology has changed markedly over time. Are these shooters the same people that in the past would have already been institutionalized? Whether it’s the chicken or egg, symptom or treatment, contributing to school shootings, is difficult to say. Clearly, all of these perpetrators had been desensitized to violence AND had behavioral problems.

One thing is known: If someone had been there to shoot them before they killed again, lives would have been saved. My high school rifle team would have been more effective than the cops at Uvalde or Parkland. Let people with actual skin in the game defend themselves.

Shocked a thread like this has been up since Wednesday.

I guess it's no politics unless the admins silently agree with the takes.
It's a discussion about shootings in schools. And what can be done to (maybe) prevent them, or lessen the occurance of them.
I've not noticed any "politics" in this thread at all...................... No reason to be "Shocked"
