[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a high school teacher, and I’m absolutely pissed they took the SROs out.  I have seen it on more than one occasion where a child was being predated upon by an adult in the community, abs the SRO took care of business.

They’re not all Derek Chauvin.  This is so ridiculous.[/quote]

Oh stop it - they didn’t send the SROs to the Bermuda Triangle, they are all just as close to being dispatched to a school as they are to your home or car. Somehow adults can manage to face their day without a cop waiting in their break room at the office, in case. If some student is being “predated upon” (I think the word you are looking for is “groomed”), then a youth-trained law enforcement officer is still able to intervene on the students behalf.

Either you have not bothered to understand what the changes are, or you are on the payroll of the new republican initiative to discredit local D prosecutors as being soft on crime by manufacturing outrage around recent progressive initiatives. We know your tactics. [/quote]

Not the case.  I’m THERE.  I actually work in a high school.  They provided an important and valuable function, and now they’re gone.  I vote your way, too- but not on this.  This is a knee jerk reaction to an incident that had nothing to do with them.  It’s foolish.[/quote]

Also “groomed” is only typically used for sexual abuse.  I’m sorry to have to tell you this, but criminals take advantage of teens in many, many ways.[/quote]
