Vermont Police stage a fake mass shooting for kids on a field trip

wonder how bernie feels about this?

 

Whoo hoo!

Hard to believe that a group of adults all brainstormed, practiced, and executed this idea.

 

:10 to lawsuit

 

stupid is as stupid does. Whoever thought that was a good idea should never work in law enforcement again. Go be a wal mart greeter.

 

Wow. & they didn’t kill any? Progress

 

This particular VT State Trooper, some say he's super, doesn't approve:

 

I remember posting a story years ago about a guy who was denied entry to a police department because his IQ was too high. The court eventually backed the department.
I wonder if this was them.

 

Are you saying these were simply shenanigans?

 

I'd believe that when my poop turns purple and smells like rainbow sherbert.

 

In their own statement, Burlington police said that the department apologized “to any students in attendance who were upset by the specific scenario and crime scene portion of the presentation.”

Sorry if you were offended.

The purpose, they wrote, was “to make a point about how witness statements can be unreliable, and detectives wanted the event to be as realistic as possible.”

We wanted to make a point about how citizens are wrong and cops are right, and firing a gun was the only way we could think of to do that.

 

Mock executions are used by terrorists as literally a form of torture.

 

Real bullets, leg shots only. Super realistic, kids will take that to heart (well, femur at worst), and a lesson that teachers like me can marvel over from afar.

 

Ron Swanson approves of this test.

 

Hey Welcheye Gator. You ever gonna pay your bet?

 

Damn, I'm stupider than I though!

 

As George Carlin pointed out, the average IQ is 100. Half of humanity is below that.
