[quote=Anonymous][quote]I'm not seeing your argument. Everyone agrees that policies need to change to make them accountable. Does this mean we remove all SROs from schools? Your argument would then also imply we blanket remove our police system just because we know bad cops exist. Clearly, it doesn't make sense. What makes sense is to continue to push hard for accountability, for those who serve AND for schools to do their job and educate our children.[/quote]

That's the thing, though. The police have not initiated any changes, nor have they held bad cops accountable. They only choice left was to remove them from schools.

If MCPD had made a good faith effort to root out corruption, get bad cops off the streets, and discipline those who slip through, we would have better policy choices. But this is the policy choice left standing because the police will not govern themselves appropriately.

If they take steps to demonstrate that they can be trusted with our children, we can re-evaluate at that time. [/quote]
