We’re The “Only Ones” Handling it Internally Enough
H/T to the FAP list, again.
Members there pointed me to this outrage in Albany, New York, which turned into an “Only Ones” three-for-one. I suspect that if you or I walked up to a woman, and ended up inserting a finger in her vagina without her permission, we might be charged with a sex crime. It’s probably better that the Albany’s Citizens’ Police Review Board not investigate this. They probably didn’t get the special training they’d need, since Albany police officers are apparently the “Only Ones” trained in illegal searches.
Hmm. Maybe not. Maybe the Albany County Sheriff’s Department got some of that training, too.
Albany PD must be the “Only Ones” who are highly trained in firearm safety, though.
Brendan Lyons certainly has his hands full up in Albany. I’ll have to talk to a friend of mine who used to live up that way, and see what her recollections are of life there. I bet it’s changed.
Why We Homeschool #4,852
We do it so our kids will never, ever be faced with something like this.
I know it wasn’t a strip search (although those have happened before in some schools), but come on. We’re talking about 8- and 9-year-old kids. Yes, they’re capable of stealing. But a physical search is wrong, no matter what. Aside from the fact that it’s against school policy, there are better ways to handle this. I think at this age, a letter home to all the parents explaining that $5 was missing from the classroom probably would have been a whole lot more effective. Legal, too.
