  I don’t recall any serious national public dialogue about lockdown protocols or how they became the norm.  It seems simply to have begun++, modeling itself on the lockdowns that occur during prison riots....
  But as the list of lockdown stories above attests, many of the lockdowns in the last week occurred as a result of nearby crimes, local domestic disputes, false or ambiguous reports of armed individuals in the neighborhood, and runaway drug dealers.  We have learned to err on the side of a lockdown under almost every crime-related scenario that occurs near any school....We routinely terrify and traumatize them in an effort to spare our kids terror and trauma.  We create realistic drills complete with fake cops and shootings in order to impress upon our kids that armed deranged gunmen are what?  Really scary?   I think they may already know that.
