[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I swear people won’t be happy until there is are actual shots fired in the school. 😞

As far as SROs, I would guess they mingled with students, overheard things, watched things going on, and easier for a kid to report something without looking obvious. That to me was the value. Knowing there was someone who was watching.  What if that kid today had acted like the kids at Bradlee - we know nothing and we saw nothing …[/quote]

Most schools where mass shootings counted had SROs. Clearly they are not the solution. [/quote]

Except I don't think the student who came to school with a loaded handgun was going to commit a mass shooting.  And in fact I don't think mass shooting is what we need to worry about it.  It's shooting a person or persons once or twice.  Whoever was at Bradlee could have kept shooting but he/she didn't.  They were targeting a person.  I think some parents - especially white ones shrug off incidents like this because they feel their child is different, better, special and would never be involved in things like that so is not in harms way.  Of course, they seem to also assume the shooter has gone to some kind of training so they know exactly how to aim and of course won't panic an start overshooting.

I don't think an SRO is going to be any match for a crazy person wielding automatic assault weapons and high powered rifles. I think an SRO is going to be able to look out for a person or person being targeted.  [/quote]
