Journal Editors Kick APS Cops When They're Down

The editors have concluded that it is mathematically unlikely that all 27 APS Cops would all get sick on the same day. Calculating the "odds" of that happening, they wrote, is well within the ability of the students that went unprotected Friday morning.

(In fact, the mathematics of calculating those odds is well beyond the ability of all but a very few APS students, but editors are allowed poetic license to make their point.)

It is unfortunate that they missed the point; again.

The real story is not the sick out, but the situation that creates the feeling that a sick out was their only viable option; the only way that their concerns would be reported in the (APS controlled) media.

The Journal editors should write an editorial about how the mainstream media steadfastly refuses to investigate or report upon the dysfunction, the incompetence, the corruption and the unchecked effects of the Peter Principle in the leadership of the APS, which drives employees to extreme responses like sick outs.

Cops, teachers, firemen...all such public servants don't mean anything to these high-ho self-rightous power people.
To them cops are ignorant thugs that shouldn't carry guns at school cause they hate kids anyway.
...and Teachers teach cause they couldn't succeed in anything else.
NEWFLASH...many of us left promising, well-paying careers cause we wanted to help shape the future!
