8:25 am
protect but if officers leave it may expose schools to a greater risk of violence and shootings as it was hot as a caster reports i've heard that these are not the images you would expect from school. a police officer responsible for keeping students safe has put one in a choke hold the reason the boy's friends say was because he threw and orange at a wall when you're in the hallways is in atmosphere of tension and slight worry and fear the incident in philadelphia in two thousand and sixteen sparked student protests and demands to remove police from the city's public schools the school district spends thirty million dollars a year on police deploying about three hundred fifty officers across some two hundred campuses the philadelphia student union says that creates a militant environment if l.a. oh i have to put on this mess i have to make sure. you know. i'm not out of care

8:28 am
the problem. it was going on is that the teachers and principals have lost control of their schools then no shortcuts to school to an environment of loving support the teachers within the school need to create a space where the students understand they love support and respected the way in which you do that is not to call cops you have to build a relationship with students that you have your school you have to put together a lesson plan as that show that you want the best from them so you have higher expectation of their academic performance and the ugly part of the community you can't just drop in parachute in and then head out as soon as the school days done you have to make sure you're part of the community go into the community show the respect that this community deserves you'd be hard pressed to find an elite private school in united states that has police they have troubles to but they don't have police you'd be hard pressed to find many suburban schools that have a large police presence however in florida is a outlier in that they've had a horrible incident recently and it is
8:29 am
a southern state and they also have their issues with law and justice but generally speaking what you find throughout the united states is that students of color are the ones that are most often policed patted down and have their bags run through every single day and city in which we have schools the other high schools not our school the other high schools that are in the in those communities actually have students waiting to get into school each day sometimes thirty to forty minutes so that they can be patted down every single day there are no shortcuts the police are not the problem the are rarely going to be the person defense of police officers who make bad decisions but the police are not calling themselves and this is these are teachers and principals calling the police and to restrain children because they have lost control of the children these very same children another academic settings do just fine so if those teachers and those principles and those schools can't control the children then they should not be in positions that their brand either the children should be freed from the failed school systems within which
