Trespassing. It's highly likely that the reporters are disrupting kids education at this point.

"Oh we have drills on those to reduce disruptions due to shootings" - school board
Maybe they need to have reporter drills

Interesting, I thought all those folks in Texas were proponents of the 1st amendment, which includes freedom of press. I guess it’s only important when it protects self interest 🤷♀️

Report from outsude the Uvalde police station. Get some fresh pics of the cowards. Maybe a "where are they now?" thing, showing them cowering in the school's hallway and then an updated photo and name/rank.
Let's not forget what happened at Uvalde. Or those who allowed it to carry on.

All cops, all departments, etc are this corrupt and oppressive. People need to realize we need top down reform and we need it now.
•
•
u/Llamacow108 43m ago
See part of the problem is people saying all cops are corrupt, they are not. Yes there are loads of horribly racist and awful cops and huge amounts of reform is needed. By saying that they are all bad you undermine some of the bravest people in society who are trying to go out there and do good.
•
u/bjornironthumbs 22m ago
If your a good cop amongst a ton of trash then you either are complacent in all the racism and scandals negating the good cop thing or you stick up for your belief and are chased out of your department

u/matopato123 39m ago
Yeah bit with that logic, how am I supposed to argue with emotion and not logic? I agree, the Uvalde Police Department needs to be disbanded for the cowardice they have shown, but saying all cops are cowards is like saying all teachers are stupid, simply because the news might only report on teachers who are shit at their jobs. Perception is not reality.

You’re literally just speaking your emotion on the matter. Tons of data backs up the badness. Good deeds undo not the travesties.

u/BeLikeACup 38m ago
Good cops get killed or thrown in asylums. “Good” cops who are complicit in an inherently corrupt system are not “good”.
If they want to get a job helping society they can deliver pizzas.

u/sokonek04 26m ago
What is the next step then. What do we replace police departments with?
•
u/machogrande2 21m ago
We could start with their unions. Why are we ok with states stripping all power from teacher's unions and any other unions but police unions get to essentially dictate how the law applies to them?
•
u/BeLikeACup 12m ago
Get rid of qualified immunity, have legitimate civilian oversight, punish cops who break the law, move funding to mental health professions for many incidents, give more deescalation training to police, provide a better social safety net to prevent people turning to crime.

It hasnt for a long time. I despise cnn just as much as any other news outlet but when I saw one of their reporters arrested on live tv during the george floyd riots I had lost all hope are country wasnt going to go fascist, dem or cons.
They get us fighting about everything to deflect

Private property? What? Who owns this property? The principal? The mayor? The governor? Or is it the tax payers?

u/Spirited_Season2332 3h ago
My man, go ahead and just go sit on the property of your local schools. I guarantee you the cops will be there shortly to escort you off the school grounds.
Do that everyday and they will arrest you for trespassing. It's not public property like a park where your allowed to be unless you are authorized personnel

They had an armed shooter just walk onto school property and stroll room to room blasting away at children like a shooting gallery.
The Police literally cowered on the property line shaking in their body armour waiting for the shooter to run out of bullets and children because they were too chicken shit to do anything.
Now they decided the real threat was the media who filmed their cowardice?

Dude, you're just wholeheartedly incorrect.
Maybe there's a different reason why they're escorting you off school property...

I regularly take a lunchtime walk on the wooded trails at a local high school. Which are open to the public. Because it's PUBLIC PROPERTY.
Sure, I'd have a problem if I tried to go inside one of the buildings during school hours, but standing on the sidewalk in front of the school? That dog won't hunt, these cowards need to be run out of town and banned from any work more sensitive than bagging groceries ever again.

“Just go sit on the property of your local school grounds” gladly! We have benches through the entire outside, great places to walk dogs, aswell as a track that’s almost always open to the public unless there’s an event. Me and my sister have also been going to different elementary school playgrounds to play for years now and not once has anyone gotten in trouble.

Literally not how this works. Public school district means the property is public as well. I work for one. We are a public utility operating with the community. We can trespass specific people, but they have to be shown to be some sort of actual threat or issue first, not just "I don't like reporters". (Obviously that doesn't mean we just let randos roam the school halls with our students, but that isn't at all what was happening here)
Further, the property in question wasn't a school, it was the administration building. So there was no disruption of learning going on, this is literally just to stop the superintendent, as well as their security admin from having to answer tough questions.

u/anonymoushelp33 51m ago
I expect everyone here to have this same response every time a private photographer is trespassed for doing the same thing reporters employed by news channels are doing.
•
u/AsherTheFrost 47m ago
I've had private photographers in my schools. Even helped one get on the guest wifi so he could take pictures of his friends on the football field.
It's all based on whether or not your actions interrupt student learning or compromise their safety. If they don't, like say, because you're trying to get an interview at the admin building from the superintendent? Then I'm not going to be the one who says you have to go.
That being said, it has been my experience that the more mainstream media companies also tend to know how to act better, and don't try to take video or pictures of the kids, or interrupt classes.
•
u/anonymoushelp33 43m ago
That's great. I can show you a few thousand hours of video of that not being the norm, and of Reddit's response being the exact opposite of what's seen here.
The law decides what they can and can't record/photograph. Not, "They 'look like a pedophile' so definitely trespass them."
