Comment on "I am going to punch you" WHAT A BOSS!

They’re called School Resource Officers, and they are a large part of the prison pipeline, as their entire job is focused on getting kids into the prison system. Kids get arrested for things that could be (and previously were) handled by school discipline instead. But since school admins don’t want to deal with it, (because it would require actually making decisions on a case-by-case basis), it’s easier for them to just default to having a kid carted off to juvie by the SRO.

Is that…true? I mean this sounds so absurd and surreal. The thought of a school(!) Having their own “police” is bizzare enough already…
Please tell me you just pulled that outta your rear, for lolz or something.

They were originally hired to stop school shootings. Hard to count the ones that didn’t happened because a kid decided not to do it cause them. But they’re have never stopped one that is happening.
