[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To equate SROs with corrupt police that kill Black people in America was wrong in the first place.  [b]In Montgomery County, police brutality was never an issue. [/b] In MCPS, SROs were not causing any problems either. Instead, SROs were helpful in creating trust between students and police.  They were helpful in resolving many issues without unnecessary escalation.

I think we need SROs back and we also need metal detectors at doors and more CCTV monitoring in schools.  If MCPS does not have the funds for it, maybe the funds can be donated from other non-MCPS sources. [/quote]

I think that this belief is actually part of the problem. Is bad policing as big a problem in MPCD as in other police forces in other places in the US? No. Is bad policing a problem in MCPD? Yes.

MCPD's position has basically been, "We're not as bad as those other police forces, so stop yelling at us, it makes us feel sad." But that's not good enough.

Also, no, we don't need metal detectors at doors. Schools are not prisons.[/quote]

Actually, I feel it is opposite. Police brutality in MCPD is not an issue, rather, as a citizen I feel that police wants to be more benevolent and not tough on crime. In any case, inside the schools, SROs were a force of good.

It is ridiculous to equate metal detectors at doors  with prisons.  We do not want ANYONE to come inside a school to harm students. To make schools safe and  for the peace of mind of students and parents it is important that schools have metal detectors and CCTV.  If we are trusting our children to go to the school to study, the school needs to make sure that they are doing everything to protect our children inside the school.

The only people who will disagree with this are criminals themselves or perhaps who have raised psychopathic criminal children.
