In June 2020, amid a summer of protests over racial injustice following the murder of George Floyd, Denver Public Schools became one of the districts around the US that decided to phase out its use of police officers in school buildings. That push was fueled by criticism that school resource officers disproportionately arrested Black students, sweeping them into the criminal justice system.
After Wednesday’s shooting, two armed officers will be posted at East High School and other city high schools also will each get an officer, said Denver Public Schools Superintendent Alex Marrero.

An uptick in violence intensified calls from parents for renewed police presence in school buildings. But students are carrying on the fight for police-free schools

They always use the number of arrests, but the real number should be number of arrests that were found innocent.
I would suggest with no proof that very few were innocent.
Thanks cutworm!
This is the thought process most damaging to our crime fighting/criminal justice system.
Young black men commit violent crimes at 7 times the rate of whites so the BLM/woke crowd insists that its the criminal justice system discriminating against young black men.
When you don't have accountability, motivation or take responsibility for your bad behavior........there's no reason to change it!!
That's a fundamental definitive human psychology/behavior fact.
Blaming bad behavior on cops and removing them and punishment, takes away accountability and motivation for criminals. This is like, crime enforcement 101.
Reducing cops in high crime areas will almost always cause crime to increase. This is whats happened in the places that did it.
There is still more work to do in order to get rid of bad apples enforcing crime but the system is actually working extremely well.
Why is that?
There are 13,000+ police departments and 800,000 cops(if you include the federal level) and you will note that many recent events now provide the video from mandatory body cams that insure accountability. The police departments provide quicker actions against the cops, instead of trying to cover up.
However, just the opposite is happening on the side that is 99% responsible for the main problems. The criminals are not being held accountable. BLM and the woke crowd, in fact want criminals PROTECTED and have positions that see the criminals as the victims.
The media is driven by ratings and run by biased, often woke journalists who will sensationalize everything to make isolated encounters from a cop that kills somebody in completely unjustified fashion, the headline story for weeks.
There are tens of millions of legit arrests. This and cops being shot at or the millions of encounters where their lives were at risk out number the bad behavior by several orders of magnitude but are almost NEVER shown. Just the 1 in a million encounter when the bad cop shot somebody for people to remember that cops are bad and criminals are the victims.
Here's a really bad/biased study to strongly reinforce this mentality.
This is retarded criteria and will always cause areas with the highest crimes, always black and always featuring the cops with the toughest jobs and risking their lives more often to save other lives and make those communities safer........to have the LOWEST scores.
It's statistics to blame high crime rates on US Police Departments. Hogwash, woke studies like this are all over the place to be used for defunding the police agenda.
Where are the messages that address the root of the problem? Violent crimes are committed by criminals NOT cops.
Instead, we get messaging about reparations from some of these same people, which is us blaming society for their problems and REWARDING them for criminal behavior.
5 million/black person reparations/wokeism cult

They are right about society being responsible but the correct response is to NOT REWARD THEM or DEFEND THEM. It's to punish them for bad behavior while at the same time not blaming others. It's absolutely needed for big changes in our big cities that create motivation and opportunities for CHANGING the behavior and vicious cycles in big cities being caused by the D politics which cater to increasingly woke idealism.

"Gun violence at schools has become increasingly common in the U.S. with more than 1,300 shootings recorded between 2000 and June 2022, according to researchers from the Naval Postgraduate School and Center for Homeland Defense and Security. Those shootings killed 377 people and wounded 1,025, according to a database maintained by the researchers."
