School officers across the state turned to heavy-handed tactics on children, often in response to minor misbehavior, our investigation shows.

Thanks.
So normal police, just stationed at a school. Weird to call it school police if they are normal police officers.
Calling it school police sounds like it’s police with special education for the purpose.
Anyways I’m glad that the concept doesn’t exist and isn’t necessary in my country.
Yes indeed very cool 😎 🤣 🤣 🤣
I think most places call them School Resource Officers (SRO) or something similar.
Just steps towards normalizing this in society. Give it another decade and the US will develop a policing branch just dedicated to school policing.
Its long past normalized here. We had one in middle school and that was in the 90s
My kids elementary school used something like “Community Resource Officer”
But is it the same, in that it is in fact police officers stationed at a school?
Yeah, it’s the same thing. I think the goal with SRO was to sound less dystopian.
I agree it sounds less dystopian. but the reality of it apparently is not.
Maybe one day USA can become a civilized country, so all this shit isn’t necessary.
It’s mostly to distinguish the officers assigned there as their daily job vs. a police officer being called in by dialing emergency services or the local police department directly.
Thanks, but If they are just normal police, I don’t really see what is really distinguished between. But the whole concept is completely alien to me, so what do I know?
At least there are cool police walking among the school children with real weapons that can kill, so the children can feel extra safe. /s
I understand that the brutality of some parts of American society is several levels removed from how it is here. But it also seems that in USA, the tendency is to make the problems worse, and very rarely to actually try to solve the problems.
The difference is that they’re stationed inside the school all day, every school day. They’re not there to respond to whatever emergency there is in the community, only to minor incidents inside the school, with the training to escalate violently.
Is that a typo or a joke? 🤣
Typo if you’re not understanding:
Escalating violently is what cops are trained to do. If you put a bunch of bored cops around students, who occasionally do dumb stuff, the cops will escalate violently some of the time.
