Okay....lets get real here. Ask any high school student..they feel safer knowing that a SR Officer is around...I know I did! Did you ever think about the poor kid this trouble maker was going to find? If the kid was able to get away from the officer, found the kid he was looking for, and beat the crap out of him..people like you would be asking why the SRO didn't stop him. It is one of those danged if you do, danged if you don't situations. The SR Officer didn't know if this kid had a weapon on him or not. He was not only protecting the other children, he was also protecting himself. What if this kid would have gotten loose and beat your child up....tasing wouldn't be so bad then..would it???
