Hello All,
I truly enjoy your show. I typically listen to your show the following morning/day due to my working schedule. The addition of Dacia has been nice, and giving L. Joy her own morning show is awesome.
I really have a strong opinion about a story covered on Episode 384 titled “C**** Pistols”. The story about the young child being handcuffed made me run to my laptop after listening to that portion of the episode. I understand the concept of handcuffing an eight year old child seems extreme, and I don’t necessarily agree with it but I do truly believe the teacher’s hands were tied in this instance. The fact that the child has a history of this type of behavior speaks volumes about not just about the child having some sort of “issues”, but the parents are to blame as well. Dacia brought up a valid point about seeking professional help for this child, but due to the media (not you guys of course) not fully divulging all of the information, we aren’t sure the teachers haven’t already suggested this to the parents of this child. This also shows the ridiculous nature of our society. Teachers can’t do anything. Their hands are tied as I stated early. As someone who is married to a teacher who works with special needs children, I know the ridiculous and litigious rules that burden people of that profession. The police could have come and “scared” the child, but handcuffs and an apprehension was extreme. The police have more freedom unfortunately, and they may have been needed to deal with a child once the teachers had no other options. The child may have posed a threat to herself and others, and when the teacher can’t mitigate the threat presented, then what else is the teacher to do. I agree with you all, while disagreeing at the same time.
I must state, thank you for presenting media that educates and entices my brain! LoL!
Thank You,

Hey RPG, I think #TeamBlackness understands the complicated nature of what teachers have to deal with and the rules that have been forced down to avoid legal actions. However, with that being said an 8 year old child was handcuffed by police officers. Unless the child was stabbing other children while shooting at her teacher I can’t co-sign 8 year olds being treated that way. And I agree that more needs to be done because the next step from teacher should not be police officer when a small child was acting up.
I’m gonna co-sign with Elon. I just listened to this episode on my (long-ass) commute this morning. There has to be an intermediate disciplinary step between teacher and police. And little brown children don’t need one more reason to fear police officers.
I quote Calvin “Cheese” Wagstaff:
“Bitch pulled a gun out of her pussy! That shit was unseemly, Unc.”
