Simple solution: School cops can ingnore calls for help from "students of color." That should guarantee the cops a lot more peace and quiet and keep them out of the usual hot spots for trouble. This way those that do not want the cops around can fend for themselves and the cops will watch over those who do want protection.

Sight of police officer makes them uncomfortable? What does that tell you about the person?

[Houserino]

The ‘can’t say it’ truth is cops already ignore them.

[TomServo]

Ya know - I keep hearing the phrase “people of color” or “person of color” and I just want to know if it’s OK to start referring to them as “colored people” again.

Must be afraid cops will stop them from doing illegal things

[Vision]

They sound like criminals.

[Telepathic Intruder]

“Especially for Black students and other students of color“

Because they’re special. They commit more crimes so police make them nervous.

[HighSierra5]

That’s too bad.

[lightman]

What constitutes being “of color”?

1/16 blood?

Jim Crow would like to know.

It is probably bad for a drug dealer’s business to have police inside a public school.

“They were crying, ‘Why are you doing this to me? I didn’t do anything,'” said Mobley, co-president of Wake County Black Student Coalition. “I was just forced to stand there and couldn't do anything.”

Did you bother to find out the facts, or are you letting your bias dictate what you believe? EVERYONE claims they didn't do anything. That doesn't make it true.

The guilty flee when no one follows.

How many times have we seen video of people screaming to the police they didn’t do anything, they don’t know why they’re under arrest, etc. Only for the police to release video of them being observed committing some office that would warrant the treatment they are currently getting.

“What constitutes being “of color”?”

I guess the old “paper bag rule” will return as a measuring method.

[dkGba]

Back to separate schools then

[Thunder90]

No cops, no law abiding gun owners, what possibly could go wrong?

[Disambiguator]

Everyone is a person of color. Some of us are just lighter shades.

[toddausauras]

Don’t rape or steal or commit any crimes and guess what...they won’t bother you!
