[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=Anonymous]Question for Marc Elrich, since he unilaterally pulled the SROs out of the schools:  why didn't you do an independent, validated survey of a representative sample of parents, teachers, and kids about whether they want SROs or not?

Prince George's County, which has 55% AA enrollment and 37% Latino/a enrollment, did a real survey, and 82% thought SROs were important or very important to have in schools.

Charles County conducted one, too, with 56% AA enrollment and 10% Latino/a, and 90% thought SROs were important to have in schools.

So why does a group of 30 child advocates get to call the shots here?   I get listening to kids, giving them input, validating their experiences.   But in the end, adults need to make the decision.   [/quote]
Elrich doesn’t run schools. MCPS and specifically Dr. McKnight run schools. She has been the chief proponent of removing SROs and adamant that they don’t return. By the way, she lives in PG County and her kids attend PGPS. [/quote]

He runs the police department and he pulled them regardless of what anyone else wants. [/quote]
The council cut the funding for the program, led by Riemer and Jawando. [/quote]

No they didn’t. The police are still working, just aren’t allowed in the school.s [/quote]
Please inform yourself.

“Two Montgomery lawmakers propose bill to remove police from schools”

The bills died.

Elrich did this.   https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/md-politics/montgomery-schools-police-officer-program/2021/08/25/99fe70d2-058b-11ec-a654-900a78538242_story.html

There is a CEO program made up of most of the same officers.  There were no budget cuts for existing sros[/quote]
There is a state mandate for SROs. MCPS believed having cops outside schools and not inside satisfied that mandate. No positions were cut, but open positions were eliminated. The CEO program does not allocate one cop per school. And the council did not fund “cops inside schools”. [/quote]

Council didn't have anything to do with the actual decision.  It was all Elrich, and Elrich has to turn it around unless the Council proposes legislation, which they likely won't do.   Jawando and Riemer definitely hate police too.   The rest don't want to appear racist. [/quote]
This is an incredible lie. Absolutely Trumpian levels of lying here. Everyone can read the Washington Post.

“Council members Will [b]Jawando[/b] (D-At Large) and Hans [b]Riemer[/b] (D-At Large) introduced a bill Tuesday that would [b]prohibit the county police chief from implementing the school resource officer (SRO) program[/b], which places armed officers in most public high schools and some middle schools in the county of 1 million people.”

Do you know the difference between a bill that was introduced and a bill that was passed and enacted. Please quit posting until you do. That bill never went anywhere. [/quote]
You are so mendacious it has to be Riemer himself posting. That bill was was rightly considered too irresponsible by the council and was replaced by a compromise bill put forward by Navarro that created the CEO program. The is no way for any other interpretation of events that the council, led by Riemer and Jawando, ended the SRO program. To argue otherwise is a Big Lie and makes you pretty pathetic. [/quote]

They did that, and I never said they didn't.  But since they weren't enacted, they were not the causal factor in the SRO removal.  Marc Elrich alone made that decision.    Period.[/quote]
