it says 10 million dollars in security because people who admire the columbine killers come to columbine to tell a story they want to be part of that story even though if you listen to the podcast she says plugging it, but honestly if you listen to the podcast because i can't do it here. there's so much more detail the columbine killers everything that you think, you know about the columbine killing is wrong. i'm just telling you everything is wrong killers. we're not bullied. we're not part of a trenchical mafia group and i think that's the thing about the book. there's so much stuff that people don't know and they don't understand and this in some ways is really simple. it's in some ways the answer is look at the people around you. be prepared to see something and say something right now. look for these behavioral characteristics. they're listed right in the book. they're listed online. you can find them on my website. you don't even have to buy the book, although that's okay. but but you know, there's so much information that's out there, but we just don't really look for it and liste

colorado pioneered after columbine so it's not a new thing to have tip lines. kids can text the tip and they do. the biggest and most largest number of anonymous tips that come in or between 4 p.m. and midnight when kids are home from school and that's not just about school shootings but when people are active online and they are seeing pictures and hearing things.ue >> as i segue to the next question there's a lot in the book and we talk about why this increase in shootings the last two or three decades there's an increase in media and the way we consume it. it's constant 24 hour news cycles. constant information. it becomes packaged and is almost entertainment in some ways so you talk about this affect and before i stop talking there's a question. there's a quote in the book that covers it. it makes an implicit problem to those on the edge of committing mass violence so talk about how that's driving things. >> and i first started doing the research, not surprisingly it akes a long time to write book so i didn't really think about the contagion effect but even

it happened after columbine. it happens again after sandy hook and again after parkland and especially after parkland where i think there's been a broader growing awareness in the country about this approach. it has spread more and there are actually now a handful of states that require threat assessment programs in their public school systems. i think it's up to about nine now, there's some states that are toying with legislation north carolina has a state program that's based in a state law enforcement agency, but it's not mandated in schools. so there's this this somewhat mix and match kind of approach going on nationally both, florida and texas now require this in their public schools, and that's no coincidence parkland in florida and a horrific big school shooting that happened three months later in texas at santa fe high school, which is a little bit of clips. i think in people's minds thinking back on these big cases, but the policy tends to follow across the map where these happen. wow, so i want to just

not sent to the suburbs, to sandy hook, to columbine they simply are not. so now what we have is all 50 states have some schools with police in schools. more police and schools meanls more arrests in school. more arrestss in schools meet more arrests in black and brown students which is what you're talking about. that is a baby walk into schools they have taken military grade equipment in many schools. that is what is at the front door. when ibl have this conversation with folks who have not been a public school lately, they are shocked, absently shocked. metal detectors all the things you talk about. >> yes. despite the abundant evidence of injustice in our country injustice in our nations history some of my naÏvetÉ still persists. i was surprised to learn that police and schools as you wrote a results of the expansion of the civil rights movement. an integration schools. >> i was surprised to it i should not have been. some of which you write about in the book is that they are all of these racialized assumptions about blackck youth that fears f irrational

that's how we got this radical increase in police in schools so then 1999 comes, tragedy in columbine happens and yet there is again an uptick in funding but where to the police officers get sent? the research shows they get sent to schools with a predominantly black and brown presence. they're not sent in droves to the suburbs, to the sandy books, to the columbine's so now what we have is all 50 states have some schools with police in schools. more police in schools means more arrests in schools. more itarrests means more arrests of black and brown students which is what you are talking about . that's why we walk in schools . they taken military grade equipment in many schools and that's what's at the front door so when i have this conversation with folks who had been in a public school there shocked. absolutely shocked. metal detectors, all the things youtalk about . >> so despite the abundant evidence of injustice in our country and injustice in our nations history some of my nacvetc still persists and i was surprised to learn that police in schools was as you wrote was the result

they are not sent in any droves to the suburbs to the sandy hooks to the columbines. they just simply are not so now what we have is all 50 states have some schools with police and schools more police in schools means more arrest in schools more arrest in schools means more arrests of black and brown students, which is what you are talking about. that's why we walk into schools. they have taken a military grade equipment in many schools. and that's what's at the front door. so when i have this conversation with folks who haven't been in a public school lately. absolutely shocked metal detectors all of the things that you talk about. right? right. yes, so despite the abundant evidence of injustice in our country and injustice in our nation's history. some of my naivete still persists and i was surprised. i was surprised to learn that. that police in schools was as you wrote every brought up a result of the expansion of civil rights movement and integration schools. i was surprised too and it shouldn't have been right. we also mean when you really stop and think about i

kyle a little bit ago and it made me think in the 21st century which basically began right after columbine the conversation about guns in america is inextricably linked toto mass shootings and specifically school shootings those two things. they are still happening unregularly unfortunately. i have not seen one that i can remember that was not for the most part young white mail. it is almost to the point you could guess it before they do it. it is so specific the person you be looking for. if for the last 20 years all of these mass shootings in the school shootings had been done by blackla men, would we have different gun laws now? >> oh yes. oh yes. one of the things i laid out in my piece was that we have got eatwin pandemic of mass shootins hitting up against the pandemic of antiblack movement. we stoke the fear so long in this nation of a black people that in the face of these mass shootings we cannot get a reasonable response, a reasonable gun safety response because we have got this and narrative of the senselessness. almost sounds like george mason back in the 18th century. if you t

a little bit ago and then you think about in the 21st century, which basically began right after columbine, the conversation about guns in america is inextricably linked to massachusetts and specifically school shootings . those two things. they're still happening regularly unfortunately. i have not seen one that i can remember that was not for the most part a young white disaffected male. and it's almost to the point of you can almost guess it before they talk about who did it unfortunately. it's so specific, the person that you would be looking for. if for the last 20 years all these mass shootings and all these school shootings have been done by black men, would we have different gun laws now and mark. >> oh yes. the one of the things that i laid out in my piece in the guardian was that we got these twin pandemics inning area the twin pandemics of mass shootings, getting up against the pandemic of anti-black that we so stoked the fears along in this nation of black in the state of these mass shootings we cannot get a reasonable response, a reasonable gun safety response cause we've got

one indicating he was inspired by the 1999 attack in columbine, colorado.b and wanted to conduct another rayattack at a school. they were not aware about the suspect before the attack but they are trying to determine a specific motive in the shooting. glen bennett was a customer at the store. a 66-year-old employee was killed in the attack. he is being described as a hero for trying to take down the shooter, losing his life in the process. >> thank you, josh campbell with the latest. >>> president biden wants to restore a ban on assault weapons. part of the crime prevention plan the president will promote in pennsylvania. jeremy diamond live from the white house with more details. what do we know about the plan set to be revealed later today by the president? >> what the president will be doing in wilkes-barre, pennsylvania, he will try to thread the two issues together. public safety and funding the police on one hand. on the other hand, reforming the nation's gun laws. this is something we saw the president try to do before. and today, we expect him to pu

wasn't done, why officers didn't charge the shooter as we know is common police procedure ever since columbineesperately asking? >> i think that what we laid out in the report was the abject failure to apply those trainings, to apply those principles. they had a plan. the district had a man in place to address an active shooter, and they didn't follow that plan. you know, and that's where we have to go from -- we have to take that base of facts and now we need to hold people accountable. the school district did their part in that. it's incumbent upon all the other agencies that were part of that response to do their review and make sure we hold people accountable and make sure if you failed in this task, in this -- because there were hundreds of officers that never stepped foot inside the hallway. so we're going to look at them differently. some officers were there to provide medical care, so you look at them differently. but there were those in positions of decision making to implement training and didn't. and that's where i agree. this is a good first start. and the accountability did not en
