[b]But an SRO ON campus can see what's going on to the lead up to the incident [/b]better than a cop outside the school grounds.  But, like I said, if they are patrolling around the school, why can't they be patrolling IN the school, or at least in the parking lot where some of these incidents occurred?  [/quote]

This is a recipe for harassing students of color. Who do you think they were watching closely? One SRO cannot closely watch 3,000 students. They use shortcuts, like that youth with indigenous last names are probably gang members (see upthread), to decide where to focus.[/quote]

To take the Blair example, it's 23.9% white, so 76.1% of students are POC. Yes, they will question POC students -- they are the vast majority. If they picked a student at random the focus on, chances are that student will be POC.[/quote]

Couple of years ago the students at Blair, had students leave class without a note and took note on how the kids were treated buy staff. Whether they were just told to hurry up and get to class or if they received a punishment. Wasn’t very scientific but every white kid was told to hurry up to class. The rest of the kids it was a mix summer told hurry up and get to class others were given a punishment[/quote]
