Students cheer as four police officers are hit by car, sent to hospital [Darleen Click]

Denver Public schools did not and will not stop the ‘walk-outs’. They consider them “learning experiences”

After a second day of massive student walkouts from high schools, Denver Public Schools officials said they consider the protests “learning experiences,” and they do not plan to try to stop them.

“The Denver Police Protective Association has learned that immediately after the horrible accident yesterday injuring four Denver Police Officers, several parties in the protesting group cheered and chanted “hit him again.” These actions are not only reprehensible but quite possibly the most disturbing thing this Association has ever heard,” a statement released by the police officers’ union Thursday night said.

“This group of high school students not only broke DPS rules by leaving school without authorization, but broke laws of the City and County of Denver and State of Colorado regarding traffic regulations and the right to assemble with a permit. The DPPA recognizes citizens’ rights to assemble lawfully. This, however, was not a lawful assembly, which ultimately cost four Denver Police Officers a trip to the hospital. One of which is in critical condition,” the statement continued. […]

Denver Public Schools released a statement Thursday night. “We have no knowledge of the alleged comments. We would deplore any such comments and will look into the allegation, and would welcome any evidence that would assist us in an investigation. All afternoon yesterday and all day today, students at East expressed their deep concern for Officer Adsit and his family and their appreciation for the police assistance in ensuring student safety during the march.”

    Seems like “[o]ne of which” written rather than “one of” whom — since we can still distinguish between persons and things — while apparently a mere grammatical error, nevertheless sums up the entire attitude deplored here.

    Q: How many Denver students does it take to run over a cop?
    A: Just one, but he gets an A in Driver’s Ed for it.

    This is why I’m not a teacher.

    Because I’d have pop-quizzed the class two days in row.

    ClownDisasterWhiteHouse cheers as al-Qaeda enemies are released: *** The U.S. government said early Sunday that it had transferred six detainees held at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba for over 12 years to Uruguay for resettlement as refugees.

    All six men had been detained as suspected militants with ties to Al Qaeda, but had never been charged. A Pentagon statement on Sunday identified the men as four Syrians, a Tunisian and a Palestinian. They are the first Guantanamo Bay prisoners to be sent to South America. ***

    DoDGuy: “What’s the policy?”

    WhiteHouse: “Surrender. Do we have to tell you again?”

    DoDGuy: “But I thought you just said ‘The World must never cease in seeking to defeat their evil ideology’? Aren’t we part of ‘The World’?”

    WhiteHouse: “Just do what we tell you, stupid peon. You wouldn’t understand even if we tried to explain it to you.”

  8. Whitey House: How dare you question your Gnostic Overlords!
