Secret Meetings

So this was in the paper the other day:

• Community groups remain skeptical of the Chicago Police Department’s efforts to address the use of police officers in public schools after a series of invite-only meetings have largely been shrouded in secrecy.
  
  Nine months after the Office of the Inspector General released a scathing report about the department’s lack of oversight and poor training of school resource officers, neither police nor Chicago Public Schools officials will say if the two institutions have met to discuss the report’s recommendations.
  
  Since April, police have held nine “community input meetings” to talk about school resource officers. All but one have been closed to the general public.

They don't want police in the schools? Then get out. There are districts across the city that would love to have the manpower back on the watch sheets. Schools should be places of learning and quiet study.

Like this one:

• More than two dozen people were placed into police custody after a fight broke out near a high school in Chicago’s Brainerd neighborhood Wednesday, officials said.
  
  Twenty-eight people were taken into custody after police responded about 12:15 p.m. to an incident in the 1300 block of West 95th Street near CICS Longwood High School, a charter school, a police spokeswoman said.
  
  One victim was taken to the Little Company of Mary Hospital, where the person’s condition was stabilized, a Fire Department spokesman said.

It's funny when Reality intrudes on the "progressive" narrative.
