Cop traumatizes teens to teach them a lesson.
The police arrive at your workplace and ask to see you. They solemnly tell you that your husband/wife/partner was viciously murdered in your home a short while earlier. Apparently your loved one forgot to lock the door properly and a psychopathic killer managed to walk in and commit this heinous crime.
You are now hysterical with grief. You are emotionally destroyed. Tears are running down your face and you can only think of the horror that the love of your life just experienced. You don't know how you can cope with the loss yourself. And how do you tell the family and the friends of this horrible incident. You weep over not being able to have been there to offer your protection.
For one hour you are barely able to talk as you are hyperventilating from the trauma. As the hour mark is passed the police officer tells you, with a smile, "I was only kidding. No one was murdered. But this isn't a joke. We want you to realize the serious nature of home security and we are just teaching you an important lesson."
For one full minute you look at him in disbelief. Could this bastard be serious? Was he kidding before or kidding now? What sort of sick mind comes up with a "lesson" like this? You look carefully at the weapon as his side and you think how you'd like to pull that gun from the holster and shoot this asshole for the cruel trauma he just inflicted on you. You don't give a damn about his "morality lesson" about locking doors. You want to see him suffer the way he just made you suffer.
Of course cops wouldn't do something that vicious and cruel -- no matter the reason. Would they? No, they wouldn't -- at least not to legal adults who can sue the bastards easily. This would be considered an intentional infliction of psychological trauma. Any cop who does it ought to be fired. Personally I think he should be fired and jailed and then sued until he doesn't have a dime left.
The fact is that police officers have done this very sort of thing. They seem to get away with it because they traumatize students in the local school and not adults in their workplace.
The monster who does this to school kids is California Highway Patrol Office Eric Newbury. He goes to a school and walks into a classroom where one student is missing. He tells the students very soberly that their friend and classmate, perhaps a boyfriend or girlfriend or a sibling to other students in the school, was killed in a drunk driving accident. He reads an obituary for the students and places a flower on their chair and then he leaves.
For one hour the students are left believing their friend was dead. The newspaper story on this torture program says: "Many juniors and seniors were driven to tears - a few near hysterics..." by Newbury. Then the students are brought to an assembly where they are told their friend didn't really die. They are being taught a lesson that they shouldn't drink and drive. This little psychological horror was dreamed up by the fanatics at Mothers Against Drunk Driving.
Newbury doesn't mind that he has emotionally scared some of the kids he lied to. He thinks it is worth it because "what I'm doing is waking them up." Yep, he is, just not to the little morality lesson he thinks he is.
I suspect a lot of those teens learn that police officers can be lying scum. They learn that police will use any tactic, no matter how destructive to others, in order to get what they want. They learn you can't trust a cop. Is that what Officer Newbury wants to teach.
These kids were traumatized that a friend had been killed only to find out that the whole thing was charade and that the cop had been lying to them all along. And they learn he doesn't care what sort of emotional pain he inflicts on others in order to get what he wants.
He says that if he simply lectures the kids they ignore him so he uses this manipulative infliction of emotional pain in order to get them to pay attention. He says, "I want them to be an emotional wreck." Apparently he believes that if terrorizes them they won't "have to live through this for real."
So what happens after Officer Newbury pulled his theatrics on the students the first time? Can he do it twice? Will next year's classes fall for it? Or will he have to do something even worse to get their attention? Maybe he stage a real accident where it appears their closest friend is decapitated before their eyes? That would work.
Now would they forbid a student from leaving the classroom during this hour? Even if they have to use the bathroom? So consider this scenario. A distraught student believes his/her closest friend was just killed. The student is an emotional wreck and asks to go to the bathroom. Perhaps they sneak out of school then. In an emotional stupor they decide they don't want to live without their friend so they take their own life. Great lesson there!
In reality when a student dies this way the schools rush in with counselors to help the students deal with the pain. They accept that such news can be emotionally damaging to the kids. They bend over backwards to help these kids deal with this pain. Here they intentionally inflict that pain. That the story later turns out false doesn't stop the damage that is inflicted by it.
Perhaps the most moronic statement defending this use of emotional torture on children came Lori Tauber, a counselor who helped inflict this on the students. She said: "I just know in my heart this was worth it." She ought to be fired and kept away from children.
Tauber, Newbury and the lunatics at MADD ought to be inflicted to the same sort of emotional pain as they are inflicting on the young. MADD can mean angry. It can all mean insane and this is insane.

How do they choose the candidate for the scythe? Imagine what may happen if they chose a 'victim' that was widely disposed - there were a few students like this a my school, some also hated by the staff too - picture the scene...
The TRAFFIC officer comes in to the classroom with a announcement...
"I'm afraid to say your classmate, Tom, has died, in a road traffic colision."
A huge cheer goes up and a student whom was saving a bottle of champagne graduation decides it's a special occasion and the sound of a, what would turn out to be a premature, cork popping. One even suggests an epitaph 'THE TWAT HAS, NOW FINALLY, SHAT-THE-BED! HURRAH! NOW SHIT HERE... ↓'
I would smash that cop in the mother fucking face with my shoe if he bullshitted me like that.
There are some Jokes you do not fuck over and even I know what not to fuck with!
Why, oh why? Is there no compasion left in the world? And its only defence is:
"I know in my heart it's worth it."
*facepalm* Bitch.
How... fucking stupid.
What The HELL is their problem?!!! Oh yeah, for instance...
I arrive from school "Mom? Anyone Home?" *enter cop* "I don't know how to say this, but your sisters and mom were killed when a robber broke in and shot them". Me: *starts having emotionial breakdown* (Music and crap as an hour or so passes)
Cop: "Nah, I'm just kidding *snickers*"
Me: You mean my mom and sisters are okay?"
Cop: "Yeah, I was just kidding."
Me:...... YOU TURD HEAD SON OF A BITCH!!!!!! *grabs candlestick off of mantle and starts beating cop on the head with it* After that, I get his gun and shoot him in the face after bashing his skull in.
"And in my heart, I know it as right."
Yeah...... If by right you mean torturous, painful, emotionial, not to mention saddening.
If you want to protect kids from drunk driving, don't do that bullshit! Talk to them in a RESPECTFUL manner, tell them what could happen, etc. Don't go practically ruining their life!
Dumb cunt-ass bastards. You know, I might kill that guy tonight! Or, I might fake the death, then tell him it was a joke, then in a week, really do it. Then tell him, he'll dismiss it, and BAM!!
As I said,
Dumb cunt-ass bastards.
This is just beyond words. As if there wasn't already enough reasons to hate all the anti-drug programmes, this really stands out as one...
i try to generally keep my profanity level on the down low when i'm online, but i must say that they are a bunch of
GODDAMN FUCKIST BASTARDS.
i think i'm going to start a blog just about how terrible this news story is... or something. some sort of movement. i think we should all print copies of this and put them in libraries or something, or in peoples front doors, with a link to the site on it. seriously, who's with me?
if i can get just five other people who'll say that they'll do it then i totally will.
... Wow. People actually do this.
WHY DOES NO ONE LISTEN TO YOUNGSTERS ANYMORE?! WE ARE NOT ALL HOODIES AND DRUNKS! FOR FUCKS SAKE!
To Avenger:
yeah, i get it, man. i don't hold anything against ur mom.
well you're already one person i've got on my list. ^^
i think i'll have people put a link to this on forums on some popular websites and stuff, maybe i'll print some copies and give them out at a public place. what say you?
Hey, I'm a member! :D
that cop and that COUNSLER (whos going to be VERY busy!) will meet me! (not really i hope) and ill tell them that their mother/niece/father/nephew/brother/siter/wive/husband DIED!!! then i will wait for A WEEK!!!! then ill tell them it was a joke! and i will laugh alot! if your reading this cop and counsler MONSTERS! then think about what your doing! if you dont then GO TO HELL!!
And come to think of it, what DOES this teach them? Other than all that stuff about police officers being asshats, it doesn't teach them shit. If this DID happen it'd be out of their control, regardless if they drank and drove or not. At best this would teach them how they're parents and friends would feel if they died, but again, not EVERY SINGLE KID EVER is going to decide to drink and drive.
