[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I spoke with a police officer the other day, pointing out a student throwing rocks at passersby on Wisconsin after school. I have heard repeatedly on this thread that police are asked by the school to 'go soft' on such nonsense..is this true? The problem.ia that if you don't draw the line somewhere and intervene as responsible adults, then kids do escalate. Whether the weapons are brought to hurt someone or as protection from being hurt - that should not happen twice in a week. Speaks to the  school being run by student giving in to their worst instincts, rather than adults leading them to their Hughes expectations. This needs to be addressed in partnership with community and police; Wilson is not a silo.  [/quote]

This is true, unfortunately.  I heard the same thing from a Metro cop -- a different police force --  in the Tenleytown station about 18 months ago.  That was when Cahall was principal.  I had hoped it had changed under the new principal, but it's still the same administrative apparachiks in place beneath her, so probably little is different.[/quote]

What is the rationale behind "going soft" on poor behavior in the neighborhood? Are you saying that the school is asking police to ignore this behavior?[/quote]
