we re 500 or so short of what we need to be. harris: unbelievable. quickly the politics of this. democrat mayor chicago, lori lightfoot. do these leaders realize that they are leaving their their own public in a corner with no one to protect them from being cornered? if something happens to you in the city of chicago or seattle after people leave their jobs over the fight with these city councils and mayors, i thought their number one job was public safety. how do they stay in office? these are cities that are run by folks who have been pushing defund policing. lori lightfoot has walked it back significantly and the mayor in seattle has walked it back some but council members are leaning into defunding. what a better way to defund police to quit on their own and say they were selfish and didn t want to protect the public from covid.

A group of Montgomery County students is pushing back against a new task force aimed at “reimagining” school safety, saying it does not do enough to remove police from buildings and fails to prioritize students’ input.
During a press conference last week, Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich and representatives from the County Council, school district, police department and health department announced the new task force to “reshape public safety” and provide more mental health support to students.
The initiative focuses on removing school resource officers (SRO) from buildings and replacing them with a “community model.” Officers would not be stationed in schools. Instead, they would patrol larger geographic areas around schools.
