Lets take my school system. Suburban New Hampshire. Not exactly a high crime area. In fact we have very little crime at all, other than the usual drunk driving and weed smoking. Our school system has no history of violent crime. None. We do have a fairly typical level of drug use, managed up until this year by the school administration on a social rather than a criminal level.
Now we have an armed resource officer. The weed smokers have shifted to pills. This particular 'resource officer' despite being sold to the residents as a counselor, is known to be a total butthead, a real hard ass, who has a history of going out of her way to get errant kids in legal trouble. She is now patrolling our high school halls and parking lots ready and willing to use all available force to keep us safe. Safe from what? She will eventually incarcerate somebody for some stupid drug offense and or shoot somebody. Yes thanks, can we please have it back the way it was?
