Koko78 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 "The resource officers are there to enforce the law," Burgess said. The sheriff says he agrees with Howe on principle. Both men say the new policy is creating safety concerns, mainly because there is line of cars that along the highway outside of the school. Burgess says parents should take any policy concerns to those in charge of the policy, not the school resource officer. "On the other hand, the school system needs to realize you can't make a black and white law," Burgess said. Uh, since when can school districts pass enforceable laws? Also, how is this dumb bastard a Sheriff? Was the race for dog warden too hotly contested? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Some related opinion pieces; Tennessee school safety officer arrests parent for calmly objecting to pick-up policy. The school safety officer was reportedly upset because the parent had called the local sheriff to complain about the school’s new pickup policy and the long waits, and what followed was an argument in which the reasonable, quiet-spoken and polite parent was arrested for “disorderly conduct” by the school safety officer, who put him in cuffs and then into the back of a cruiser without advising him of his rights or enumerating the charge against him. Presumably the officer was trying to help the local school board get rid of excess cash on its books by creating enormous, pointless liabilities for it. There’s been a modest interest in reviving corporal punishment lately. I think we should start with petty officials who abuse their power. A dose of public humiliation seems exactly right. And cheaper for the school systems, too. But the big takeaway here is that putting your kids in the hands of these people is a bad idea. Related: “How dare you know the law and stuff.” .
