Subsidiarity Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 Day care supervisor Savannah Silvana said the children are learning that police officers are their friends and people they can rely on. Someone they can turn to in times of need. “We talked about the things that happened,” Silvana said. “We try to teach the kids how police protect us.” She said one student asked why the man killed the police officers. And they discussed how the police risk their own safety by trying to protect the people. Asked who is looking after the three fallen police officers now, several children said “the angels.” http://www.journalpioneer.com/News/Local/2014-06-11/article-3758933/Youngsters-honour-fallen-RCMP-officers/1 To be fair children have less to fear from police since they don't have anything to steal.
Alan C. Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 You'd be hard pressed to find somebody in the forums who didn't receive this kind of indoctrination. Sadly, the children won't be told the truth about the alcoholism, domestic violence, malfeasance, incompetence, or brutality of the situation.
Anuojat Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 Thankfully where i live at, polic officers are seen more or less like tired old postal workers... no seriously Also i never had the "police are here to protect you" BS. Mine was "if X happens call this and this number for help or/and stay away from said danger" and "how to avoid trouble or people trying to fool you" A lecture by police officer on how to protect yourself from frauds and thiefs and... *sigh* yes from people whom woud try to kidnap you. Which yeah fearmongering a bit but actually he didnt say that he was here to "protect" you. He said police were there to be called to "rescue" and that most impor thigns is sefl protection (and common sense and clear mind among strangers) first And this was done in all schools. And only twice. Unfortunately he didnt give advice how to escape bad schools...
