Middle school?
Do you Ohio students get a lot of greased-up deaf guys?

My brother is a city cop, he asked for the S.R.O. (School Resource Officer) job here at the local high school. This story just made headlines because the dude was naked because this is NOTHING compared to some of the stories my bro tells me. Hell, criminals on the streets seem to behave better than some of these kids in high school.
By the way, the middle school SRO (the middle school's right next door to the high school my bro works at) told my bro that he's confiscated a couple of guns from kids.
My brother has actually had to serve a few felony warrants at his school, and this is even one of the "nicer" high schools in the county.
My brother has been asking over and over again for the ability to use tasers there as it was not allowed before. But a recent attack on the other SRO there by another student who stabbed the officer with a pen and broke his nose has led them to grant my brothers request.
He hasn't used it yet, though he's been in a few situations where he'd easily be justified in doing so. The thing is, he doesn't WANT to use it either. So to all who think every cop is just a power tripping a hole please understand that's not the norm, but actually the exception to the rule that very few cops want to hurt people.
