[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those of you who think SROs are bad for students, please watch this video of the SRO at Quince Orchard a few years ago and the impact he had in the community. Even Craig Rice, council member knew the importance of SROs.

That is 1 SRO who does not represent the all SROs.

Post the video of the cops berating a 5 year old. Cops should not be with kids.[/quote]
Why? Those weren't SROS.  Why can't you stick to the topic at hand? [/quote]

The topic is cops in the school, they don't belong there. You can post 1 good cop that knew he was being recorded at the time. How about cops have to turn on their video as soon as they walk in the school and you can see every interaction... they won't do it thought. Why not, because they treat some kids 1 way and other another. Blair HS did a non-scientific study and sent kids down the hall without a note... white kids never were even approached, black kids got detention. But it was all a set up.

Why even call a cop for behavior that is insane, cops should not deal with behavior, they should deal with crime. [/quote]

Can you provide a link to the Blair study?  Because my understanding is that it is the security officers (mcps employee, not MCPD) who are responsible for disciplining kids in the hallway without permission.  (I think teachers can do this also.). I don’t think that’s generally what the SRO is doing.  So you’re pointing out issues of racism or implicit bias in the McPS labor pool, but not an issue that relates specifically to cops.  [/quote]

+1. Does the “non-scientific study” specifically state it was a school SRO, or was this MCPS staff? Either way, all that study shows is that one particular person is discriminating. You simply can’t take those results and project them on an entire community or profession. Once again, the anti-SRO argument assumes all SROs have bad intentions and its claims are wide-sweeping, with no true evidence or data to back them up. [/quote]

Yes, it's almost as if the anti-SRO crowd is doing the same thing that racists are guilty of doing by being prejudiced towards all SROs because of experiences they've seen with some cops. What's even worse is that challenging them on this idea is considered racist. [/quote]

The anti-SRO crowd just know it doesn’t work. Just like 3 strikes you are out or mandatory minimums. They sound good but after years of research it.does.not.work.

This article links actual scientific studies.

3 chances is more than reasonable.[/quote]
