Petition: Demand the Removal of Student Resource Officers from Schools

Source: WTVC NewsChannel9/YouTube

SROs, or student resource officers, are becoming more and more common in schools as school shootings have increased in recent years. However, there is no evidence to suggest that these law enforcement officials have done anything to prevent shootings and there have been many instances where they have committed violence against children. One of the more high-profile cases came from a school in East Tennessee where a kid was assaulted and pepper-sprayed because he didn’t want to play kickball in gym glass. Please sign this petition to demand the removal of student resource officers from Hamilton County District Schools!
