[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about a sense of urgency to save a child's life? Why not medivac never mind NO SIREN for ambulance?

Deny, minimize, deflect - oh that stabber shooter must have left the bidg! oh that kid in the hall, i will let him in! never mind from Columbine on school shooters have been students, why follow protocol in a school that had recent repeated threats that were also dismissed? Why not be trained and drilled to respond to save victims and maximize safety?

It was EMS who expressed concern about the security situation at the school en route. Before THEY knew it was a gunshot they knew it could be unsafe and they had not heard of a police response on the radio and were uneasy. Common sense. They had it, the nurse performed well, everyone else did not. [/quote]
An SRO presense may not have stopped the shooting, but the SRO would know to treat this with the utmost urgency and call the cops.

As stated, they are trained to assess and respond to threats. Security guards are not. Heck, even the EMS knew better than the admins and security guard, who again are not trained for this type of thing.[/quote]

This.

I'm not convinced an SRO wouldn't have stopped this  either. 
Unfortunately for the child, we will never know.[/quote]

There is great chance he could have prevented this by knowing a beef was brewing. And help talk the kids out of it. That’s what they are best at. [/quote]

They have literally never done that.[/quote]

I have “literally” seen SROs do that on several occasions at my school. This is “literally” what they do… get to know the kids and help them make better choices. The SROs at my high school were amazing.[/quote]

[b]You have "literally" seen SROs talk a murderer out of murdering.

Okay Polly Anna!

It does not happen. It has never happened in MoCo schools.[/b] [/quote]

I love your confidence but you are literally wrong. An SRO stopped a student from shooting up Clarksburg High School, a MoCo school. Not sure if you know that though. From your response, you do not seem like you're familiar with MoCo at all. [/quote]

+1. Also, the original post said SROs would recognize “beefs” and could talk kids out of them. Yes, I have seen that. Regularly, actually, before the council decided SROs are evil.[/quote]

The SRO did NOT stop the Clarksburg incident. A child told the front office.

No SRO’s don’t stop crime nor do they recognize “beefs”. Sure let’s go “beef” in front of the SRO, you guys are so out of touch.[/quote]

Try again. There is a video that shows a quince orchard SRO interview and interviews of students at his school.  
One of the students casually mentions that she likes having sros in school because the kids tell them about fights about to happen and the sros prevent them.

You're the one who's out of touch. You're the one who hangs your hatred of police (probably because you have criminals in your family) out and uses it as a chain around poc by trying to say they target poc so it's unjust to have them in school.  Yet poc are the ones most vulnerable to not having them in school because it is poc children who are shot and murdered when you take sros away. And that as we have tragically watched unfold infant of us this week, is the fact, Jackass. [/quote]
