You would think one would be used to having police at a library on a regular visit, right? This past week, I have seen more police officers at the library than I have seen at the dorms over a year. We had eight police officers today at the library. Eight! I think that's a little insane, don't you? So what were these police officers doing, you might ask? Well, they were arresting teenagers. I guess they were suspects in a recent murder case. I thought that was a little weird, but having cops at the library has become, well, normal. Everyday, there is always a police officer. Extra ones just make you wonder, "Okay, what's the story today?"
I used to be scared to steal a cookie when I was little, these kids aren't even scared of hitting a police officer. Jail? Apparently, to these kids, "Well, some of my family is already in jail, what's the difference?" What's the difference? These kids are growing up in some other world, because I have certainly never lived in it. I still freak out when I see a cop car on the road, even though I'm not speeding.
Craziness! More detailed stories to come...
welcome to their world. I'm wondering what I'll encounter in my line of work too. that's just what they deal with on a daily basis and we're just visiting their world to try and help them
