I am not convinced either way on SROs... but how exactly would an SRO have prevented what happened today? Aren't they posted in the entrance, checking bags and whatnot? I really have no idea...

Maybe we need to use The Dads on Duty model: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/dads-louisiana-high-school-student-violence/

There is no police brutality because no police have been charged with brutality is not the convincing argument you think it is.

What about the MCP who got caught on camera screaming in the face of a 5 year-old last year? Do they not count because they weren't SROs? They also were not charged, because it is basically impossible to charge police, nor were they disciplined.

I don’t think we can have a rational conversation when you think yelling at a 5 year old is considered police brutality. I have a higher bar than that.

JFC you thought that was okay? You're right, we can't have a rational conversation.

Never said it was ok. I don’t think it qualifies as police brutality.

So it's like, not that bad, let's just all move on and let Officer Friendly go about their business without any consequences, I'm sure if something really bad happened they'd be disciplined but this wasn't police brutality so it's okay.

In the grand scheme of things, I'd rather live with one cop who yelled at a 5 yr old than a bunch of students being stabbed, and the nearest cop being miles away.

SROs are deterrents. That's why stores hire security guards; that's why people put up security cameras, ring cameras, have guard dogs; turn on lights in the house when they leave on vacation, not leave trash bin sitting out for a week... all deterents to prevent crime.

That's why SCHOOLS hire security guards. The data on police in schools does not support your assertion that they deter violence. You can keep repeating your claim all you want until you are blue in the face, that does not make it true.

NP here. Please show me that data that SROs dont deter violence.

OMG do you need me to google it for you? Are you really this stupid?

Instead of resorting to immature name calling, why don't you show the data. I can tell you that there are plenty that shows all the positive things that SRO's in MCPS have done INCLUDING preventing tragic events such as the kid who brought a gun with the intent of doing a mass shooting at Clarksburg High School. Also there is data that principals- every single one of them in every color- black, brown, white all unanimously voted to keep SROs. Why don't we let them lead the schools that they are responsible for?

YOU said SROs deter crime. Show us the data or don't make assertions that you can't defend. I am not your research assistant so you can go f&&&ck yourself you pathetic POS. I'm not going to expend energy sending you links you'll just ignore with more irrelevant and racist talking points.

I defended my assertions- you clearly cannot. It's pretty hard to take someone seriously whose ammo is to call someone POS, or whatever just because they can't agree with another person. And you gotta give up calling anyone who disagrees with you a racist. It's getting old. Save that for someone who really is one. Bottom line, you need to grow up.

Yes, but they can't be all white. They must be in equal representation that mirrors the school. Otherwise, the woke brigade will get upset and accuse the white dads of singling out POC students.

If the people at these schools don't want an SRO, then they should go volunteer at the schools.

Well, white people aren't the only ones who volunteer for things, so slow your hater roll. Looks like the tenth grade stabber was white so maybe you're onto something. Meh... not sure.

Seriously though... let's talk parent volunteers. Dads need to get involved!!!!

[Anonymous]

I'm still waiting for the person(s) who claimed that SROs are bad because the system is corrupt and so we must throw out the entire batch to tell us whether they would call the cops or not if someone was trying to stab their kid. Or would you call the Community Engagement Officer?

I don't think anyone stated that the stabber was a POC. The POC topic came into the picture when someone stated that SROs are bad for POC students.

But, yes, dads should get involved, but again, they have to be represented in equal number in terms of certain groups because otherwise, the woke brigade will get mad.

Dasds on duty is such a beautiful idea. I doubt it would work here where career is more important than family to so many parents.
I also suspect a whole herd of umc moms would drive them out of the school for one reason or another.

In 2019-2020 we had SROs, and how many stabbings or attempted stabbings in MCPS?

We're 2 months into this first school year without SROs, and we're up to 2 already.

[Anonymous]

I think those trained in dealing with criminal activities would handle stabbings and fights better than parent volunteers

Of course they were white. Poc know they can go to jail.
The real question is was it a girl.

It would probably end up like PTA participation. The schools that need it the least have the most participation, and vice versa.

I don't blame the parents -- the schools that need it the most tend to have families with lower incomes and those parents are working multiple jobs so they lack the time to get involved.

Then how is it working for Dads in Duty? They aren’t trained. They’re just parents walking the grounds reminding kids to get to class. Let’s focus on solutions. Not grievances.

They are doing exactly what the therapist that MCPS was suppose to hire wound do.

? you think no POC students have been violent at schools, brought a knife, or a gun with intent to hurt someone? Oh my.

Jail doesn't seem to deter many people, including many POC, of committing crimes. So, even if "POC know they can go to jail", doesn't seem to be stopping them from committing crimes.
