They should be immediately put into a “boot camp” for punks.
What did he do to prevent or stop these assaults? He did ZERO.
One of the rare occasions I agree with you. Work them enough so that they don’t have time to act like animals.
SOCALMOMMY–I don’t see how the officer kept anyone safe in this instance. He’s just investigating after the crimes have been committed, he didn’t prevent anything. If there had been no SRO on campus, there would still be an investigation by the Sheriff’s office.
