It's more than simply exercise of power and control

All school board members, along with any other person involved in the power and control of public school students, should read this:

Policing In Schools

Because that is what is first and foremost when it comes to education. Keeping law and order to keep all kids safe.

This law and order along with power and control has always fascinated me. My favorite scene is to see 10 or 15 SWAT team members, armed with enough fire power to take out forty or fifty people within seconds, aiming their weapons at a person that is threatening to commit suicide. The cops even have a name for this weird sense of power and control. They call it "suicide by cop."

I fully understand that a person who is in a state of mind to kill themselves is also a threat to others. What I am isolating is the point that our government agency, be it SWAT team or school person, sees it as their responsibility to be in control of everything. The next point is how they secure this power and control, lawful or not.

This subject came to me this way:
