    Wait wait

    You call the cops when CHILDREN have fights?

    In the UK 30 kids form a circle and shout FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT and then they kick the crap out of each and get detention then go home?

    What the fuck why are the police involved? They're children!

      We arrest kids and send them to prison when they have fights. After the Colomubine shootings in 99 the official solution was to have a cop in every school. They called them a "School Resource Officer". Supposedly they were going to somehow prevent violence, but what they actually did was terrorize the kids, bring in drug dogs to arrest everyone suspected of having pot on them, criminalize minor discipline issues, and generally do cop shit.

      In the 20+ years since school cops have never stopped a school shooting, but they have sent more than a million children to prison, plus god knows how many more to jail or on charges that didn't result in a prison term.

        We do that in Canada too. It's dumb as fuck.
