[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]There's no data that supports my assertion because there have been[b] zero SROs charged with assaulting a student[/b] in MCPS for no cause.

There is no police brutality because no police have been charged with brutality is not the convincing argument you think it is.

What about the MCP who got caught on camera screaming in the face of a 5 year-old last year? Do they not count because they weren't SROs? They also were not charged, because it is basically impossible to charge police, nor were they disciplined. [/quote]

I don’t think we can have a rational conversation when you think yelling at a 5 year old is considered police brutality. I have a higher bar than that. [/quote]

JFC you thought that was okay? You're right, we can't have a rational conversation.[/quote]

Never said it was ok. I don’t think it qualifies as police brutality.

So it's like, not that bad, let's just all move on and let Officer Friendly go about their business without any consequences, I'm sure if something really bad happened they'd be disciplined but this wasn't police brutality so it's okay.[/quote]
In the grand scheme of things, I'd rather live with one cop who yelled at a 5 yr old than a bunch of students being stabbed, and the nearest cop being miles away.

SROs are deterrents.   [b]That's why stores hire security guards;[/b] that's why people put up security cameras, ring cameras, have guard dogs; turn on lights in the house when they leave on vacation, not leave trash bin sitting out for a week... all deterents to prevent crime.[/quote]

That's why SCHOOLS hire security guards. The data on police in schools does not support your assertion that they deter violence. You can keep repeating your claim all you want until you are blue in the face, that does not make it true.[/quote]
I'm sorry.. are community engagement officers the same as security guards?  [/quote]

No dumbass, schools already have security guards, they don't need police officers.[/quote]
So, then why do the Principals, who are in the schools everyday, working with the kids, want the SROs?  Do you work in the schools? Do you interact with the students everyday?[/quote]

Basically you believe the principals over the students and the data. I believe the students and the data. The principals are part of a system that consistently fails students of color so I'm not too inclined to believe them.[/quote]
I believe the Principals are the adults in charge of the school, and they are the ones who deal with students everyday. Not you.

I also believe that some kids need more discipline and adult figures to bring that discipline because clearly some kids are running wild, wielding knives and stabbing people.  If a student of color tried to stab you or your kid with a knife will you call the cops?  There are some bad apples in the bunch..  including students of color.  I guess you also support a student who rapes another kid from being passed from one school to another.   Or do you only support that if the student is a POC, but if the student is not a POC, then they should be in prison?

Again, do you work in the schools? Do you interact with these kids everyday?[/quote]
