[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]7. None of his current or former elected colleagues have endorsed him. That says a lot about the person. Some have endorsed his opponents. [/quote]

8. Riemer voted to and successfully defunded police by removing SROs from schools against the wishes of principals and many parents only to create a safety and security mess in MCPS that had to be fixed by bringing police BACK into schools this Spring.

9. Despite (8 above), Riemer has the gall to campaign as the crime and safety guy.

I really don't like Riemer, and he did cosponsor a bill with Jawando to ban police from school grounds/remove SROs.   But that bill never went anywhere because Elrich unilaterally pulled SROs out, despite an ongoing study by MCPS.   Elrich knows better than anyone apparently.

And unfortunately, police are not back in schools.   There are about 20 police covering over 200 schools, which means they are just constantly running calls and not building the relationships with students that actually help prevent violence.  [/quote]
