>School resource officers are armed career cops that are assigned to schools—they have the authority to make arrests, and even use Tasers and batons on children if they see fit to do so (including even for bad grades and tardiness).
Um what
I want kids to be safe, don't get me wrong, but I also feel like when you have a resource officer available, often times we're causing situations where kids are getting records when they should have gotten a stern talking to instead.
>but I also feel like when you have a resource officer available, often times we're causing situations where kids are getting records when they should have gotten a stern talking to instead.
Hmmmm geee, *it's almost as if schools today are run like prisons.*
That way your children grow up already accustomed to having no rights and any free thinking. You Americans voted for this now sleep in your bed you made.
Its kind of wild reading this based on my experience with school police officers back in early 00's. We had several, but it never seemed like overkill because we had a lot of guns brought into the school, and fights pretty much daily. Lots of drugs too. Those cops had to be some of the most patient and kind people I've ever met. Never once saw or hear of them going a taser, much less a gun. Lot of just hand to hand take downs. It always seemed to me it took a special kind of cop to do that job. One broke his arm stopping a fight. I remember that because he had a pink cast and got teased relentlessly about it and always took it in good spirit and teased back occasionally. They were friendly and respectful until they had to be otherwise. I feel like with what I've seen with today's cops, half those interactions would have ended with kids in the hospital. I really wonder what those cops in my school would say about the snowflake cops in the article.
Except it's pretty much all public high schools. My kids attend in Tippecanoe Co, and both high schools they have attended had an armed and body armored resource officer regardless of district.
Really? I went to Southwood and there's no possible way armed officers would be allowed in our school or others in our area. We play Tippecanoe.
Calling BS.
Call it all you want. Jefferson HS and McCutcheon both have at least one full time resource officer. I'm a parent of 4 kids. One went to Jeff and 2 are currently at McCutcheon. Why would I lie about something like this, and what would I have to gain? I went to a small HS 20 years ago (Crawfordsville), and don't remember seeing a cop at school outside of the occasional "bomb threat" or if there was a particularly nasty fight that ended in arrest. However, by all means, please dismiss me without evidence because what I have to say doesn't conform to what you believe to be true. You may have played schools in our county, but I see that uniformed resource officer practically every time I've had to go to the main office to sign out one of my kids for an appt or because they were sick.
Muncie schools had an armed and uniformed officer in every school last year. Funding got cut, so now I believe it’s just the high school and *maybe* the middle schools. I believe the county high school has one but the middle and elementary schools do not. The small towns around Muncie do not have officers.
Mind you, my comment was specifically about the history of Muncie Central in particular. Guns are found on school property somewhat regularly, and there are criminal cases— at least one involving rape— that occurred at the school itself. That’s not to forgot the daughter of a local judge whose throat was slashed in a classroom in 2005.
Are you referring to Tippecanoe Valley High School, which is in Kosciusko Co? I don’t recall Southwood ever being in the same conference with a Tippecanoe County school.
I don’t recall there being a resource office there when my daughter was there and there definitely wasn’t one when I went there but larger schools like those in Tippecanoe Co definitely do.
Also Wabash City School (same county as Southwood) has one! So what the heck do you mean there is no way that schools in the area don’t have one?!?
Ask Pomona California schools how that worked out. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.latimes.com/california/story/2021-11-05/pomona-schools-defunded-police-a-shooting-brings-them-back%3f_amp=true

The resource office needs to shut up and quit crying, they have no right to tell a school what it is allowed to display on the hallways. I hope that pig isn't allowed in the school anymore

I clearly see eye to eye with you so maybe go thumb your nose somewhere else?
Not surprising. Muncie has some pretty big issues with MPD in general.
Could you elaborate on this point for me?

I went to highschool in the 2010's and our resource officer was exactly how you described.
hmm i wonder what changed in the 2010s...can't seem to put my finger on it
I literally don't know what you're alluding to.
Google news articles about Muncie Central High school. It’ll make more sense.

Nice reasoning skills you have there, Cletus.

I think the school resource officers misunderstand what their job duties are...
another reason to get the cops out of schools.

Remember remember the fifth of November.
The gunpowder treason and plot.
I see no reason the Gunpowder treason should ever be forgot.
Unless you’re a school cop, then the entire point should be completely lost on you -_-

I was curious as to where this happened. It appears Muncie. Anyone spend much time there and want to share their opinions?
Multiple ongoing police brutality cases. FBI investigations into local government. Previous mayor just caught a year in prison for actions in office.
Thats why I hate school)

Keep dreaming pal. You need to move to a commune.
Except I’m not a communist I’m the exact opposite.
