"Then there's the Security Resource Officer extortion. These are police officers who are paid primarily out of K-12 funds to provide security to the schools. Over the 10 years I've been here, I can't think of one that rose above the Barney One Bullet category. But we can't get rid of them because they're also city or county employees, and the other entity will accuse us of making schools "less safe" if we get rid of these idiots. In my opinion, taxpayer supported police protection shouldn't end at the school house door - but that's, in effect, what happens, unless you pay them yourself."
