Sorry. It's what voters wanted. We have voted for politicians and BOE members who supported removing SROs from schools.


Yes, sensible voters wanted people with guns out of schools because that makes schools less safe. This doesn't mean police can't work with schools or other places throughout the county to ensure people are safe. That's their job.

The police are responsible for enforcing our laws throughout the county even at places where they may not be stationed.

It’s probably written that way because you never can predict what kids will do that could potentially violate privacy. Who knows what new tech device will be out in the next couple of years too.


That's part of the problem. The tech is way ahead of the adults in the room

If Palestinians did not video the Isreal army bombing the Palestinians hospitals and now the southern Gaza 'safe space' then the world would never know and this Holocaust is happening.

...maybe MCPS is teaching kids how to brush injustice under the table?

It’s a catch-22. If you don’t film, then it’s one’s word against another’s, and the police or court will ask, where’s your evidence? I would personally film because I can delete it later if necessary. Better to have then to not.

City council had some say in that one.

Sorry about your kid, OP. Hope he is okay.


Too bad they don't have RJ at your school. That usually works wonders with these situations.

Then don't come to DCUM and complain if your DC gets a consequence.

Oh no, not RJ! no big deal.
