[quote=Anonymous]BLM had a lot to do with this. They complained that black men were being stuck in jail due to being arrested for minor crimes and unable to make bail. The solution was to get rid of cash bail, so you were either released (RORed) or held if the crime was really severe. And as we're seeing, a lot of people arrested for "minor" crimes go on to commit major crimes. We saw the same with MCPS and having police (SROs) on campus. The claim was that black and latino men were being arrested on school grounds as a disproportionately high rate compared to other races. Indeed this was true, however no one spoke about if these arrests were justified and led to convictions. They largely did -- we didn't hear claims of false arrests. The solution to deal with this issue was to get rid of SROs. The result is increased crime on school grounds, including the first-ever in-school shooting (Magruder).[/quote]
