that the thugs who murdered tyre were black policemen is more than tangential. interesting that racial solidarity doesn't hold when you put a badge on and carry a gun.

>SRO started 1953, in most communities today: a uniformed officer operating a marked police vehicle, who is responsible for safety and security on the school property.

>many secondary schools in Canada have hired security personnel to enhance the safety of staff and students. School systems, such as in Toronto and Vancouver, have engaged armed police officers to be in the school throughout the day. In 2008, the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) and the Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB), in collaboration with the Toronto Police Service, implemented the SRO Program by permanently placing armed, uniformed police officers in secondary schools. However, in November 2017 the TDSB voted to eliminate the district's SRO program. In April 2021, the Vancouver School Board also voted to end the program.

thank god this obscene program ended here. wow. full time cops sitting around chewing gum, eating donuts. then killing the odd student. just what the educational system needs.

Thanks, Eric. Yes, it's more than tangential overall, but somewhat tangential to my post.
