There is literally not 1 example of an SRO saving a life. |
Pick me! Pick me! I’ve seen it happen with my own eyes. I’ve worked with SROs and have witnessed them respond to crises in the building. I’ve seen them remove weapons from children, and I’ve seen them act as first responders when students have been hurt. Guess what? None of it was advertised. (Why would it be? It was just them doing their jobs.) |
Any movement on bringing more CEOs to schools? Which Board of Ed candidates are running on having more CeOs in schools? |
Google is your friend. Plenty of story’s. Stop with your nonsense. |
I agree. I saw the PP’s post and I was about to pull tons of examples. Then I decided not to waste my time. If PP truly cared to see positive SRO stories, then PP would have already done that extremely simple Google search. |
Google told me "search not found" |
Stop making up lies. |
Maybe you can post those results for us? |
Still none of those examples are not SRO’s saving lives. |
There isn’t 1 |
It actually has not. I've read the literature on this, and the results are pretty consistent. The downsides of SROs are: Students of color feel less safe, while white and Asian students feel safer. There are more arrests in schools, and those arrests disproportionately fall on students of color Note that neither of these things actually mean schools are less safe, but they are why SROs were phased out in MCPS in 2020. Now, the question is whether those downsides are significant enough to compensate for a decrease in safety in schools. |
This is not true. Prince George's County, which is overwhelmingly majority black, just affirmed its stance on keeping SROs. You can't keep peddling this lie. The fact that SOME black and Hispanic students say they dislike or feel uncomfortable having police in schools does not mean ALL or even the MAJORITY of black and Hispanic students feel that way! DCPS has also found the same thing! They took SROs out and now the community is asking for them back, and DCPS, like PGCPS, is overwhelmingly black! |
Removing weapons from children doesn’t save lives? Being the first responders when students are injured doesn’t save lives? I watched one stop a stab wound. Does that count? |
when the boy was shot at Magruder HS, they called it in as a "stabbing". They are not trained in stuff like this, nor should they be. The CEO came to the HS after a few minutes of the 911 call, and then called for backup. A few minutes could be the difference between life and death if the shooter was still active. In such cases, having an SRO in the school would have been more helpful. |
It’s the same person over and over again. We’ve posted plenty of examples. They have a weird agenda and don’t care who they harm in the process. |
