Current Events > Teacher says Floyd would be ALIVE if he just COMPLIED and Dressed APPROPRIATELY!

(+) Yeah! (+)

Alaska Heifer who is only referred to as "Ms Gardner" who teaches at Lathrop High School is put on leave after she told students that George Floyd would still be alive if he had only COMPLIED with POLICE and to NOT dress like a THUG if they don't want to be targeted by cops!!

In a 15 minute diatribe that was posted by a parent on Youtube shows her telling students about police killing black people and said if they only complied with police they would be less likely shot at!!

She says "If George Floyd had at the beginning when they got him out of the car and went to put him in the police car, if he had just sidled into the car and slid in there and let them put his legs in, he would be alive today. You know that's true"

The Fairbanks North Star Borough School District sent out a letter notifying her suspension as their website only showed one name with her surname who is a special education teacher named Connie Gardner

It's unclear what prompted the conversation where it starts with her talking about a lot of shootings with people of colour and why the reason they don't hear about it though is because it doesn't fit the "angry white male narrative"

She said "It's not just crazy white men who do shootings. The only reason they come back alive is because they comply"

She then turn her attention to Ma'Khia Bryant who was shot by an officer and said it was terrible she was shot but said the officer had no choice cause she was going to stab another victim

She doesn't believe in reform but rather "training" and then told students they should just comply with police officers even if they are being arrested unjustly and said "I'm an old white lady and if the cops came up to me and said ma'am, put your hands behind your back, you're going to jail, i'm putting my hands behind my back"

Gardner then says if students would just DRESSED NICELY and don't look like THUGS with their pants around their knees, they wouldn't be targeted as she suggests they wear PRESENTABLE clothes if they want respect from police.

At one point a woman named Liz identifies herself and interjects and said she doesn't feel comfortable with the conversation and said police should be trained not to kill people even if they don't comply and to not judge people on their skin colour no matter how they dress

Another parent then speaks up and says she is uneducated on the subject and should end the conversation period

The teacher will now be represented by a union represented by a union advocate while an investigation continues.

The youtube video has SPLIT viewers where conservatives AGREE with her and liberals disagree

Do you think everybody should comply with police even if you are targeted unfairly?

Didn't read all that but wasn't he just wearing a white shirt and jeans

I've never seen a person who deserved to be choked to death on account of what they wore.

Bommers my man. They think wearing a hat indoors deserves death

There are plenty of people who have complied and died anyway. Fuck this moron.

The pest control guy they had crawling on the ground comes to mind

Of course conservatives agree with her because theyre also racist pieces of shit

Well maybe but if you take a shit on a cop's car while screaming profanity they still don't have a right to kneel on your neck until you are dead and they should still be convicted of murder if they do that to you in the same way that a random citizen would be.

Do I think people should comply with police as much as possible? Yes, absolutely. Do I agree with this teacher thinking that's the only problem? Hell no.

most say yes
---

No he wouldn't. This teacher can get fucked forever.

Police murdering people is an extremely rare occurrence, so it's silly to act like you're in any immediate danger in an average police encounter. Floyd was murdered while in a non-threatening position, so it's irrelevant in his case.

The "if they only dressed appropriately" thing always reminds me of the owner of a grocery store I worked at. He had me follow a black customer once who wore a suit. It was on a Sunday so he was probably coming back from church, but he still said "wearing a nice suit like that, he's probably a drug dealer who's just showing off".

Saying black people deserve to be shot because you find their outfit menacing is like saying women deserve to be raped because you find their outfit inviting.

---

Yes people should comply with the police. No, George Floyd did not get killed with his rather generic and non offensive attire.

---

And she's a school teacher with these views. I feel for the black students in her class.

---

It's like some of these teachers want to be fired.

I'm sure she truly believes this in her racist little heart, but I'd love to see it tested. She'd be yelling and fighting and then screaming about injustice when she is treated "roughly"

---

I'd play my odds, regardless of who I am.

Which is higher?

P(alive | complied)

P(alive | resisted)

And then I would behave accordingly

Maybe I'm out of touch, but didn't sagging go out in the 00s? Skinny jeans and shit like that is what most kids wear nowadays.

Anyway, I would have walked out of class if I had a teacher say some crap like that. The incidents of the last year has shed light on the police department's poor handling of situations involving minorities to the point that black people will already have negative emotions when dealing with them.
