School districts around the country are cutting ties with their police departments and we want Chicago to be next! Check out this report outlining some of the reasons why we need #CopsOutCPS https://copsoutcps.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/CopsOutCPS-Report-6.16.20-1.pdf">https://copsoutcps.com/wp-conten...

Some of the most important reasons to me: Cus police do not keep people safe, especially Black people. And we can see the impact of this when we look at the stories of student who have been harassed, beaten, and killed by cops in schools.

Also cus of a little thing called the school-to-prison pipeline. Police (and policing) in schools is directly tied to young people being criminalized, arrested, incarcerated. What do yall expect when you have cops in hallways and a gang database??? #CopsOutCPS

Schools can’t be safe when police bring guns, tasers, bullets, pepper spray, handcuffs, and their license to use violence into the hallways. Schools need trauma-informed support staff, not people with guns or handcuffs in our schools. #CopsOutCPS
