That infowars article made me aware of this 2012 event I think I'd missed...

Unannounced "shooter" drill panics students at Texas college
KHOU Staff, KHOU.com 6:29 a.m. CDT October 9, 2012

IRVING, Texas Dozens of students at North Lake College in Irving feared for their lives on Friday. They heard gunfire and saw police inside the nursing building.

While their panic was real, the situation was anything but and now school leaders are reviewing what happened.

Erin Culton is studying to be a nurse at North Lake College. Her biggest concern on Friday was passing a big test.

It was a really hard test, and most of the people failed, she said.

But minutes after she finished the exam, her relief turned to fear.

We heard two gunshots and women screaming loudly, Culton said.

The sound of gunfire just feet outside her classroom sent students scrambling.

I pulled a chair over me and was grabbing bags and building a fort over it, she said. One student checked and said there was a shooter in the hall ... there was a woman around me crying.

Culton started texting her boyfriend, a state trooper: Shots at school. Call police.

What Culton didn't know was that the gunfire was all part of a planned drill.

Police said it was an 'active shooter class' meaning they were practicing for scenarios like a shooter on campus, Culton said.

But Culton said not even the North Lake faculty had been made aware of the drill.

North Lake College told News 8 it sent out two warning e-mails, but is now reviewing its procedure and looking at making public address announcements to alert students and faculty to future exercises especially after a rash of complaints from panicked students.

The only thing going through my mind? Try to hide and protect yourself, Culton said, adding she's thankful for a classmate who went to the hall to find a way out.

After seeing the the Aurora [Colorado] shooting in the movie theater, he didn't want us to be sitting ducks, Culton said.

The Dallas County Community College District said college administrators call the drills necessary, but they will continue to review the process and make changes as they are needed.

Yep. Watching it right now.

I'll tell you what, coverage of this couldn't have happened yesterday. That's what I just told my dad.

The weather was insane yesterday. This helicopter coverage wouldn't be able to exist. Also it was mentioned that there was a SWAT drill there a couple of days ago.

Sounds like a copycat effect from the canada crack head shooting...

EDIT: Just an FYI ... this thread was intended to focus on the DRILLS they run at schools ... the more appropriate thread for the shootings themselves is here:

School Shooting or SWAT Training?
October 24, 2014 by legitgov

School Shooting or SWAT Training? By Lori Price, www.legitgov.org 24 Oct 2014 CNN host Brooke Baldwin, covering breaking news of the school shooting in Marysville, Washington, announces that she has a live update regarding the events. Baldwin said she's been just handed a paper with new information, which she will read on the air. She asks for viewers to "bear with her," as she reads it "cold." She reads: "Marysville Police Department will be holding a SWAT training --" Baldwin then interrupts herself. "Oh. This is from yesterday." Later, she adds: "Initially, students thought this was a fire drill." Via Google search, the vestiges of an archived message from the 23 October can be seen: Marysville School District www.msvl.k12.wa.us/ October 23, 2014: Local law enforcement under the direction of the Marysville Police Department will be holding a SWAT training in the large fenced parking... That bulletin has been stripped from the Marysville School District website, but here is the screen shoot from Google, showing yesterday's announcement of SWAT training for Marysville Police.

Here's what needs to be done IMO. DUMP THE CONTROL.

Bring back the on campus smoking areas. Let kids skateboard. Let them ditch class and spend the time hacky sacking, smoking and etc. Open the campuses. Have the lunch period be provided by (at least partially) shit grown on the campus depending on climate provide a greenhouse.

These kids are trapped these days and have no outlet.

Install 386 workstations with very little gfx capability. Put a radio wall around the joint like they do in hospitals. Get rid of the rules.

Assembly time for me meant sneak out the door and not come back. I dunno, I come from a different era, but never saw shit like this happening perpetually. Actually, at all.

Woman Sues After Becoming Unwitting Hostage In Unannounced Active Shooter Drill
"Unfortunately, the training exercise alarmed some at our facility..."

by Mikael Thalen | Infowars.com | July 31, 2014

A group of teachers in Oregon were terrified last year when two masked men burst into a faculty meeting and opened fire. Only shortly after did the group realize that the rounds were in fact blanks.


http://www.infowars.com/woman-sues-afte ... ter-drill/


While this thread has turned towards the Maryville incident, I'm just seeing this now. I'm wondering how on earth this Oregon drill even benefits the responders / law enforcement if they're not even in the room.

I know it's only a movie that came out in the 70s and may I say, well ahead of its "time".



However, it totally encapsulates the differences. It's no peaceful yarn, but it does encapsulate a bit how we arrived to here. Disclosure, I particularly like it because it was filmed in the area of Denver in which I grew up and to see all these places as fields pre sprawl is captivating. But, it is a fascinating take on how things once were.

I think it was supposed to be filmed in NJ or something, but the creators found quite a bit of fodder in late 70s suburban Denver.

Just think, we will look fondly upon the days when a SWAT team comes in and it was only a drill. What's next? Safety and security is clearly not an issue here.

Can't fucking believe these are still happening...

EDIT: someone should do an unannounced hostage-taking drill using the children of police who keep doing this shit.

Cops "Surprise" Middle School Students With "Active Shooter" Drill
Adam Weinstein - 11/17/14 1:25pm

Terror and death can strike anyone at any time. That's the lesson for Winter Haven, Florida, middle school students, parents and teachers, who were treated to a very special episode of terror last week after the local police staged a mass shooting drill on the school grounds without warning anyone beforehand.

One officer in civilian attire pretended to be a deranged shooter with an AR-15, other uniformed officers burst into filled classrooms with their loaded service pistols drawn, and everybody sort of freaked the fuck out as the organized chaos unfolded last Thursday, according to the Washington Post:

According to Fox affiliate WTVT, officials at Jewett Middle Academy e-mailed parents to inform them of the drill, after it took place. By that point, WTVT reports, cellphones were already filling up with texts from frightened students, who thought there was a real shooter in the school.

In a later statement to The Post, spokesperson Jamie Brown for the Winter Haven police department said they were only aware of one student who texted a parent during the exercise.

"Unfortunately, no one gets an advanced notice of real life emergencies," Polk County Public Schools spokesman Jason Gearey said in an e-mailed statement to The Washington Post. "We don't want students to be scared, but we need them to be safe."

"I thought he was going to shoot me," one child texted to her mother, referring to the convincing faux-assailant.

Winter Haven's resident Chief Wiggum, though, said the whole thing was a smashing success that went down as planned:

Winter Haven Police Chief Charlie Bird told WTVT that the surprise was exactly what officials intended. "It's very important that, when you do your drill, you do it without everyone knowing that it's a drill," Bird said. "How you train and how you prepare is how you're going to react when everything goes bad."

Sometimes, you have to irreparably fracture a confused adolescent psyche in order to save it.

Nevertheless, the school district apologized to parents and the police vowed that they wouldn't draw down on any kids "in future lockdown drills," so you've got that to look forward to, students. Any... day... now. Could be today. Or not! Good luck on that 5th period algebra test.

Police incompetence is apparently a worldwide condition.

http://www.maximumtheory.com/blog/2014/ ... year-olds/

The weapons were accidentally deployed during a visit from officers to Ysgol Gymraeg Gilfach Fargoed, in Bargoed, Caerphilly, while giving a lesson on police equipment.

The officers were reportedly intending to demonstrate the use of pepper spray using a mock PAVA spray, but accidentally discharged a real canister.

Eight pupils aged four and five were hit with the spray, which causes the eyes to close and is extremely painful.

None of the children required hospital treatment, but parents were urged to seek medical assistance if they had concerns about their children’s welfare.

One parent said that although she was unimpressed with the officers’ conduct, she believed the discharge of chemicals was “a genuine mistake.”

“My son was in the class when the pepper spray was released. We had a phone call from the school to say it had happened. I’m not happy about it, but at the same time, it seems to be a genuine mistake.”

A spokesperson for the police said that “parents were contacted by a senior officer to explain what happened, discuss any concerns, and offer our sincere apologies.”

In a similar case, a 7-year-old girl was injured during a weapons demonstration on November 6 at a police station in Nottinghamshire.

The girl, who remains unnamed, reportedly received a cut lip after an ammunition cartridge fell and bounced as a gun was fired. She was touring a police station in Sherwood Lodge, the headquarters of the Nottinghamshire Police Force.

The incidents have sparked calls for an investigation into the safety of weapon demonstrations.

Caerphilly Council representative Tudor Davies said an inquiry into the incident was necessary, saying, “You don’t pepper spray children, at the end of the day.”

The accidental discharge of chemicals occurred on October 30, but details were not publicly available until the story got out on November 6.

The police spokesperson said modifications were being made to weapons demonstration procedure.

“Further enquiries into the error are now being undertaken and, as a result of yesterday’s incident, school liaison officers will no longer be taking any demonstration (mock) PAVA spray into schools.”
Don't believe anything they say.
And at the same time,
Don't believe that they say anything without a reason.

PD - I saw that story on the day it happened - but I was still reeling from what happened the day before...

Girl hurt in Nottinghamshire police gun accident

A seven-year-old girl was injured when a police officer accidentally fired a gun in front of a group of children...

The girl was hit in the face by an empty cartridge after a shot was fired into the ground, the force's commissioner said...

The group of children and parents were being shown specialist police services including firearms and dogs at Sherwood Lodge, near Hucknall, after they won a local prize, he said.

The motivation behind these drills is the same as the "nuclear bomb" drills in the mid 20th century: to psychologically traumatize children. That is the main goal, imo.

A 12-year-old boy has been shot dead by police in the US city of Cleveland, after brandishing what turned out to be a fake gun in a playground.

Police say an officer fired two shots at the boy after he failed to obey an order to raise his hands.
