Lockdown at Blair?

"School resource officers, or SROs, are members of the law enforcement community who teach, counsel, and protect the school community. When SROs are integrated into a school system, the benefits go beyond reduced violence in schools. The officers often build relationships with students while serving as a resource to students, teachers, and administrators to help solve problems.

For students with a mental illness, use of drugs or alcohol can be a key risk factor for committing acts of violence. Recent research shows that those with a severe mental illness and a substance use disorder have a greatly increased relative risk for violence (more than 11 times) compared to those with neither diagnosis. Since SROs can help infuse substance abuse and violence-prevention messaging in schools and throughout school systems, they can play an important role in school safety plans.

In March, I met with school resource officers in Chantilly, Virginia, to discuss school safety and substance abuse. It was clear from this discussion that we need to look beyond the law enforcement function of SROs and recognize their value in cultivating a safe, supportive environment for our young people.

School resource officers are not armed guards standing sentry at school entrances. These men and women receive training in counseling and other skills that help them be effective in a school setting. Part of a school resource officer’s job is building relationships with students and faculty, and the job often doesn’t end at the close of the school day. They can be present at extracurricular activities and in school hallways, building trust with the students. School resource officers can get involved if they believe a young person may pose a danger to the school community. They can even visit students at home and speak with parents and family."

Oh, and Jawando handed the officer an expired driver's license...

It’s like you just defined pretextual stops, which everybody knows is bad policing.

That was a State Trooper and they have quotas. MoCo police don’t.

Why couldn't he drive his lexus to the MVA and get a new license? Rules don't apply to him? He made a big fuss over being pulled over, was let out of the situation and given a free pass with no drivers license and complaining. Most of us wouldn't get off that lucky. He loves attention.

I’m beginning to think he’s doing it on purpose. He got stopped on the ICC for using a cell phone and they cited him for some registration violation. And that registration thing is all he talks about publicly because Hogan put a covid moratorium on registration renewals.

What SROs can do and what they actually did in MCPS are not the same thing. As a teacher, I was horrified by how the head security guard and SRO treated a student having a mental health crisis. I would not want my own children treated that way.

This is all fine but they don’t need guns and they don’t need arrest powers.

most SROs in moco just were bad on the street, SRO assignment was much like desk duty it was a punishment. There were a few good ones but most sucked.

In other words he's not complaining about the legitimate citation, just the illegitimate one? Oh the horror.

Ours at an MCPS high school did majority of these things. They were a positive and valuable part of the school community and were trusted by students. All MCPS ones recieve specific training to be a SRO. Just because some sucked at their job, does not mean they should get rid of the program.

That's absolutely not true. There was a special hiring process to select SROs and the schools were involved. It's actually hard to get SROs because their shifts are different than the four day work week that most cops have. They put the bad cops elsewhere.

You're in for a surprise, though Virginia flipping really should make it less of a surprise. We've had enough.

MD is not Virginia.
Maryland has hardcore Dems while Virginia has newcomer Dems

Sure. Justify it any way you want. We’ll see how things go in the next election.

I am a voter who used to regularly vote for the Democrats. The Democrats have gone SO far off the rails, that I can’t see myself voting for one in any upcoming elections. We need some changes, especially locally. And the ‘progressive’ hypocritical racist nutcases like Jawando are the worst.

You are brainwashed

They seem like the oned who aren't brainwashed.
Brainwashed is voting along party lines no matter if you agree or not. Voting what you feel is right despite party is the actual opposite of brain washed

No, they HAVE to be brainwashed…there is literally no other explanation for why they are voting different than PP…

As long as there is a 2nd amendment and there are more guns on the streets than humans, police need guns. That gun they took off the kid in Clarksburg a few years ago was a ghost gun. They are even more prevalent now.

"Asian" is not a race. It's a word to denote people/things from the large, diverse continent of Asia. If you wouldn't refer to white people in the US as "European" (which I hope you wouldn't, people would constantly misunderstand you), then you shouldn't refer to Asian-American people in the US as "Asian."

It does make me wonder, if there had been an SRO at Blair, whether that SRO would have been able to see a beef brewing between these kids and headed it off before it reached the point of violence.
