Police Association Upset New York Elementary School Is 'Demonizing' Their Profession with Book Stating Cops 'Don't Like Black Men'


A New York school district issued an apology on Monday, April 19, after a local police union accused the district of sending an “anti-police message” by reading aloud a book about police shootings to students.
The book, “Something Happened in Our Town: A Child’s Story About Racial Injustice,” was selected as the book of the month for April at MacArthur Elementary in Binghamton. The story follows how a Black child and a white child respond to a police shooting, and was read aloud by teachers at the school, which serves students from pre-K through fifth grade.
