It s official the inmates are running the asylum A police department in
Northampton, Massachusetts is ending its High-Five Friday program at
local elementary schools due to concerns that undocumented children and
others may feel uncomfortable seeing an officer at school.The program,
started by the Northampton Police Department in December, had officers
stand outside of a school each Friday morning to high-five students as
they walked in to begin the day. WFBToday was High-5 Friday at Bridge St
School! Thanks to everyone who participated! The kids and officers all had
fun! #highfiveHere are a few tweets that were sent out by the NPD
highlighting their high-five program with kids:Today was High-5 Friday
at Bridge St School! Thanks to everyone who participated! The kids and
officers all had fun! #highfive pic.twitter.com/Trz0yoW3Qh Northampton

for doing away with the high-five program:This is the same Northampton
Police Department by the way, that celebrated the great turn-out for the
nasty women march that was really about protesting Trump and defending
abortion. Does it make you feel any safer when you see a police department
bragging about their promotion of lawless liberal politics?
