[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]An SRO isn't stopping a mass shooting event. They may stop lesser violence.[/quote] "A school resource officer is a sworn law-enforcement officer with arrest powers who works, either full or part time, in a school setting. [b]Nearly all SROs are armed[/b] (about 91 percent, according to federal data), and most carry other restraints like handcuffs as well." https://www.edweek.org/leadership/school-resource-officer-sro-duties-effectiveness The chance an officer with a gun to stop a mass shooting event are why higher than no officer at all. Even if the shooter targets the SRO first, that will give time to the rest to prepare/hide. Seconds can make a huge difference. At my son's school, teachers ignore the "less violence" crimes. They don't hear or see the students committing them. Their role is teaching not policing. I know there is an agenda in place but the future of our children is at stake here. Please don't lose your commonsense people![/quote]
