[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please go watch last night's episode of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver and learn a little more about why SROs not only don't work but cause harm: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgwqQGvYt0g[/quote]

This was brilliant![/quote]

"The evidence for cops in schools deterring school shootings is not there, and the evidence for the damage they can do is significant". They went on to say that in 20 years of data, there were only two cases where SROs actually stopped a shooting; further, the study indicated that their presence increased the body count.[/quote]

Well I hope those 2 cases included the SRO who helped stop the Clarksburg HS kid with the gun and the SRO who literally stopped a gunman at a MD HS after shots were fired. https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/20/us/maryland-school-shooting-resource-officer-response-trnd/index.html[/quote]

In the story you link, a gunman with a specific target shot and killed that target and then shot and killed himself.  Two lives were lost and no evidence to show that any additional lives were likely to be lost.  [/quote]

That's right. We'd never know if additional lives would've been lost but thank goodness this SRO responded to the scene in less than a minute to prevent that from happening. My biggest point is these studies you all refer to lose their sparkle when a simple 2-second google search provides numerous pieces of evidence to dispute it. [/quote]
