School shows video telling students not to call cops if they see a ‘violently racist’ attack

A high school in Denver, Colorado is under fire for showing students a video telling them not to contact the police if they witness a “violently racist or homophobic” incident.

The rationale is that cops will “escalate, rather than reduce” the violence, the New York Post reports.

Originally posted to YouTube in 2017 by the Barnard Center for Research on Women, the “Don’t be a Bystander: 6 Tips for Responding to Racist Attacks” YouTube vid says that given the current political environment, “White supremacists and White nationalists have been emboldened, and as a result, public attacks are on the rise.”
