Everyone wants you to forget that schools and society have rules and those who don’t pay attention to the rules are now the victims.

This. I completely agree with this sentiment.

I'm a rule follower and I do believe that without enforcement rules become meaningless, so it's not like I don't get the concept. But we are talking about permanent, life long consequences for actions taken by children, many of whom have brains that haven't matured to the point where they can meaningfully understand consequences. When a child commits a serious offense, I believe it means they have been failed by adults somewhere along the line. Is a bad childhood a reason to escape consequences for your actions as an adult? No. But for an actual child, in the middle of their bad childhood, who is going down a bad road, I am not ok with just tossing them out like yesterday's trash - not even if they did something really bad. I think most people in this conversation are not imagining their own child as the one misbehaving. Taking action to protect other kids from violence - yes. Deciding children are really adults who deserve adult consequences when they do bad things - no.

White children who are hellions as teens are generally given grace by our society/legal system. Many of them grow out of it and go on to live virtuous, productive lives. Black teenagers exhibiting similar behavior are so often judged to be irredeemably bad and are much more likely to face criminal charges for the same actions. Whether a bad behavior is a crime deserving legal consequences very often comes down to who did it. I'm not saying these aren't bad behaviors and to just fondly pat them on the head. I'm saying that while we live in a society that indulges bad behavior from some kids but throws others in jail for the same thing, best to keep law enforcement out of our schools.

Honestly I don't understand how people can say "in my day we faced consequences from our parents and the school when we misbehaved" and somehow translate that to "and therefore the police should be involved in disciplining kids today". I promise that kids today are not some new breed of monster.

You make this sounds like a 10 years old punched another 10 years old kid and the SRO takes him to jail. Trust me, if you get retained by SRO then you did something serious not just a simple fight. Stop this false narrative about crazy SROs eager to arrest everybody!

Crime is crime no matter who comits it. And this is NOT about the race! If the SROs treat white kids differently than minority kids then that's really bad and they should be hold accountable for sure. But removing them from schools doesn't solve anything but only hide the huge problem schools have nowadays.

If my kid commits a crime and gets retain by a SRO, I would not blaim the SRO but shake his hand and thanks him for keeping the school safe. This is what my parents thought me and this is what I teach my kids. Police/SROs/School Security are there to help and people should be hold accountable for their own mistakes.

Sure, but let's be honest, you'd go berzerk and hire a lawyer to sue the county.

I will surely do that if my kid get retained without any reason but that's not the case for >99% of the cases.
Btw, lawyers are super eager to help minorities too. You don't have to be rich to afford one since they get paid a percentage of the settlement.

Ah, but punching someone is a crime. If an adult punched me for any reason I would consider it to be pretty serious! But you seem to agree with me that we shouldn't hold kids to adult standards when it comes to assault. Where exactly is the line between "kid stuff" and "crime is crime"?

And sports fights never result in charges, either.

They should be a matter for the police and the DA.

"The evidence for cops in schools deterring school shootings is not there, and the evidence for the damage they can do is significant". They went on to say that in 20 years of data, there were only two cases where SROs actually stopped a shooting; further, the study indicated that their presence increased the body count.

My kid would probably rather deal with an SRO than me in that situation.

Well I hope those 2 cases included the SRO who helped stop the Clarksburg HS kid with the gun and the SRO who literally stopped a gunman at a MD HS after shots were fired. https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/20/us/maryland-school-shooting-resource-officer-response-trnd/index.html

It has happened once or twice but more often having armed guards just escalates things so others are even more heavily armed.

In the story you link, a gunman with a specific target shot and killed that target and then shot and killed himself. Two lives were lost and no evidence to show that any additional lives were likely to be lost.

You aren't supposed to read it just accept my unsupported claims!
