La presencia de agentes en las escuelas de Texas ha aumentado como medida para prevenir tiroteos. Sin embargo, una investigación reciente del Times demuestra que recurren a tácticas de mano dura con los niños. @kristianreports @small_asher

More than two years ago, I obtained video footage of an arrest at a Texas high school.

It showed an officer confronting a student who had thrown a can at a girl in his special education classroom. The officer dragged the 17-year-old boy to the ground and punched him. 🧵

Police officers have become fixtures in Texas schools since the 2022 shooting at Robb Elementary in Uvalde. Some have used heavy-handed tactics on children, often in response to minor misbehavior, an @nytimes @ExpressNews investigation found.

[Emily Donaldson @EmilyJDonaldson]

Since Uvalde, TX has invested billions in stationing school police officers at public school campuses, often without guardrails to ensure students weren't subjected to strong physical force for minor misbehavior.

Texas school police pepper-sprayed, tackled and Tasered students https://t.co/si5eSSD4v4

[Asher Lehrer-Small @small_asher]

After Uvalde, Texas undertook an ambitious effort to station a police officer at every school.

Since then, students have been tackled, pepper sprayed and Tasered. Many episodes began over minor infractions like breaking dress code or vaping.

Pasco Sheriff settled a lawsuit from four people targeted by its intelligence-led policing program. The office acknowledged it had infringed on constitutional rights, agreed to not return to a similar program and will pay $105k.

While @mrym_jml and I were deep in our reporting on America’s Dairyland, we kept hearing about immigrants showing up in a little Wisconsin town. Here is our story about what really happened there, at a moment when immigration is dividing our country.

After a crane plunged hundreds of feet and hit an office building during Hurricane Milton, many in Tampa Bay are asking: How could this happen?

No one except the contractor appears to be investigating. https://t.co/yjd4uz7KmM @BetsBarnes @Colleen_Wright @rwoolington @DirkShadd
