Did you kill the kid, beat them, or did you just throw them in jail?

Seems he resigned from that department but I can't find anything about him other than a piece talking about his wife since then. Nothing about his stance on policing, his job, etc.

No idea actually. Haven't heard much about him since the story came out. I will have to look up what came of this, if anything is out there to know.

You are talking about Henry Bennett. This is a myth though. While he did have stairs like that, he died in a care home after years of declining health.

The mass school shootings didn't really take off off until the mid 2000s. So we are really just seeing the generation of constant mass shootings come into adulthood.

When columbine happened it was rare for that type of shooting to happen at a school. The actual rate of school shootings was rapidly dropping by the late 90s too. It is still much lower than it was, only these mass shootings has increased. So, with it being, at the time, a rare event, and shootings in schools on a rapid decline, it just didn't hit the way it seems to have affected gen z/alpha.

My experience has been more like
