Damn, I didn't know the crusade he believed in extended beyond .ml
Or a school teacher (that way they can enforce bully solidarity by punishing kids who stand up to their bullies)
When I was in kindergarten I broke a bullies nose and for that they wanted to hold me back a grade to separate us instead of punishing the racist homophonic bully in any way.
I mean, did you even try meeting him half way, or did you go straight violence? /s
In 7th grade another kid ran up and started swinging on my way out the gate after school. Neither of us were competent fighters, so no serious blows were landed by anybody. But I still got suspended for being jumped because, in their exact words, "But what did you do to de-escalate the situation?"
You did the right thing, even if you were born in the wrong world.
Sometimes I feel we are doing the next generation a disservice by teaching them to not bully others. Shouldn't adults stop bullying each other before we ask the younger generation to do the same?
To be the example to aspire towards for the next generation. Maybe next life...
Just wondering. Have there been serious studies about how likely a cop is to be a former Schoolyard Bully?
That would be interesting. I don't believe the data exists. Just need a definition of bully, a list of kids who are bullies (which would be difficult given they are children and that has ethical issues), and a follow up to see if they went to cop school, became cops, career length, etc.
The stats would be easy to do.
I imagine asking a cop would be a bad idea (might go to jail for example), but maybe their former teachers or classmates could work? I'm just yapping at this point lol
Perhaps psychological records/background checks to determine if they were bullies? Those should also be a thing before someone becomes a cop.
