[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]And to add to this, it doesn't matter who exhibits this type of behavior, people of color (as the above poster put it), or the skinny white girl in the back of the classroom. They should be quickly escorted out and the same consequence applied. And in my view that should be a talking to by staff followed by an automatic suspension... at least this is how things were handled in schools in the past during saner times.[/quote]

I mean, sure, and we can give them all unicorns to ride to school.

If we didn't have decades of experience and reams of actual data to show that SROs are particularly vicious to kids of color, then we would be having a different conversation. If abusive cops were subject to accountability, oversight, or consequences, we'd be having a different conversation right now.

But that's not the world we live in, and that's not the reality of policing in 2021. [/quote]
Are any of those reems of data from MoCo?  And does it show a lower conviction rate suggesting that there are unfair number of arrests of black and brown kids?  In other words, are black and brown kids committing more crimes or not?[/quote]
