[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SRO are fine just be prepared for a bunch of black boys leaving the schools in cuffs. Sure one or two serious incidents will be snuffed out but lots of pretend hard kids who are in minor fights and hopped up on adrenaline while wanting to look tough for the homies will disrespect the guards and get battery charges. White kids will get 2nd chances when their sorries and Sirs come out and mama pulls up in her X5.

… and it is not backed up by Montgomery County statistics. 3% of student arrests recently were initiated by SROs. Just 3%. During the 2019-2020 school year, SROs initiated just 9 arrests, that’s less than one per high school. There will NOT be “a bunch”’of students leaving schools in cuffs… period. The SROs serve as a resource, a deterrent, a chance for positive interactions with police. The narrative you are promoting is not backed up at all by current, local statistics. [/quote]

Ya SROs barely do anything. This is mostly just a jobs program for cops they don't want to put on the street.[/quote]

Shows you don't know anything about the program.    Police have to go through a very selective application process to be SROs and schools get a say in who gets the job.  They do tend to be older, and are mostly women and people of color, who have great skill at dealing with teens.   [/quote]
