Discussion: NPR Reporters Take Threat Training After Flare-Up In Trump Rally Violence

Why in the hell should anyone have to take some training coarse against any United states Of America’s presidential campaign? This isn’t the middle east the is the US of A. Why in the hell hasn’t the department of justice stepped in?
Enough is enough this is not what Amerca is about.!

This type of training is nothing new in many organizations. I am employed as a transit planner for a NYC governmental agency. Every year I have to take workplace violence training as well as sex harassment training. Occasionally I have to attend public meetings about transportation studies and projects. Thankfully in NYC the public is quite civil and amenable however in other regions outside the city and upstate there is the occasional disruption from someone who apparently sat watching too much Glen Beck shouting about Agenda 21 and a plot to centrally plan and take your golf course away. The civil servants in those regions have been trained how to deal with these folks in a polite manner. It’s sad how some folks have had their heads filled with mush and take it out on the public.

Time for Mara Liasson to get an open-carry license.

sonsofares won’t say it, but I will:

Open carry, bitches. I’m waiting for the picture of Lourdes Garcia-Navarro, heavily armed and frothing.

Do you suppose that NPR will also train its reporters to correctly identify white supremacist tattoos, and then report their presence on Trump supporters to their listening audience?

90 minutes to teach someone how to kick your attacker in the nuts ? /s

I’m quite sure Cokie Roberts will take advantage of this form of training to protect herself from NPR executives.

Is there a way to pm on here? I did the compatibility browser thing and the system returned that my browser is too old. So I checked it out and it says that Discourse works on IE10 amd higher - I am on IE11 on Windows 7.

By all reports, it should be fine, but it’s not. And still no reply from my emails from yesterday.
