Which is great. And absolutely needs to happen.

I just wish they hadn’t removed the SROs too. MoCo is the only county that removed them in Maryland, even though several others examined the issue in the wake of George Floyd’s murder.

What exactly would an SRO done? Pulled a gun?

Presence is deterrence. Nobody ever has to touch a gun. There is far more to the spectrum of police work than an arrest/use of force.

So we agree we don’t need police with guns in the schools.

No. What is needed is a zero tolerance policy for violence in school. Years ago people were expelled for violence. Now they're given a cookie and told to write a note to themselves telling them why they're awesome.

There is a lot of truth to this.

I must admit I didn't feel this way until the Damascus broom incident. Some students are a danger to others and should be in a facility that can both educate them and ensure their behavior doesn't injure others. A high school with 1 or 2 thousand kids isn't the place for a student who is violent.

Broom incident? That makes it sound too benign. Just like the Rockvill HS case. Let’s call it what it was - Rape.

Except the latter was proven to be a false accusation

LMAO. Not quite. The victim was a minor.

I guess you would also appreciate how MCPS is saying that the Damascus case also shouldn’t count as rape.

Please don't spread false information. https://www.baltimoresun.com/news/crime/bs-md-rockville-rape-charges-20170505-story.html

We don't have enough counselors to make sure our kids are in the correct classes during the first weeks of school but now we need to counsel violent criminals who are a threat to school.

Exactly! Except for those falsely accused and the Rockville High school community as whole.

1. The fight was broken up and handled (didn't require a police officer)
2. Schools had security guards before SROs and still have them now

Like the post above stated SROs were put in as community approach to policing. They have now decided not to do that anymore. Now they will spend those funds elsewhere.

Fights will happen regardless of who is responding. If you think for one second having an SRO there would have prevented a fight you are an idiot.

Do you have a source for this? I want to believe you because I'd like to think that MCPS wasn't so stupid as to remove SRO without replacing them with anything.

The whole thing was made up and right wing nuts made Rockville their anti immigration poster child.

We don’t have counselors so let’s put gun happy idiots in the schools.

Public schools do not have the resources do counseling and home visits and extra staff to deal with kids who don’t care to learn. It is a sad state of affairs and I don’t have answers. But taking time and energy that should be focused on learning to deal with kids who have no respect for the school environment is not the answer. And our governmental leaders who advocate for “talk and learn” sent their kids to private.

Woke lunatics absolutely see the schools as a stand-in for parenting. Wait til you see what they do with Kirwan. Before care, breakfast, school, lunch, agter care, dinner, medical care, tutoring, etc. Poor parents wont jave to do a thing. But the woke wont stop there. They want to care for your kids as well so they can indoctrinate them with woke values.

Officer Amy at WCHS was a real asset to the community. If you were ever at the school you would have seen how she interacted with the kids and engaged with them. She wasn't some Robocop marching around the school. She was terrific and will be missed.

A source? Ask any high school student or parent. Everyone has security guards and like i said they had them before SROs. Also just FYI middle schools and elementary schools have security as well. Not all day at one location like high schools but they have security officers responsible for each school. Look it up

She should get a masters in social work and come back actually trained to help kids.

Huh? I'm the pp you replied to.
No. We don't have enough counselors for our children so take the violent kids out of our schools and put them in a place away from the rest of the kids.

Why do you assume she doesn't have one? I mean, I don't know what her education background is. But I know there are lawyers and Ph.D.s among the sworn officers. One guy is going on to get his CPA. But of course, that's exactly who all the anti-cop activists are running out of town. The ones who can easily find jobs elsewhere.

Wait, what?

Nothing ever happened? There were not two adult males having sex with a minor female in the bathroom? That didn’t happen?
