183013, This video reinforces the notion that the SC school misused the SRO.

You call the SRO when a student becomes a threat to him/herself and/or others. That's standard protocol.

The minute red shirt starting behaving in a threatening manner, you call the SRO. That's 100% the reason why schools have SROs. This is the perfect example of why schools have SROs and when they should be called.

The girl in South Carolina was not a threat to herself or others, so you don't call the SRO. This video exemplifies why the teacher/admin in the South Carolina school calling the SRO was a massive overreaction.

It's both the perfect video to support the need for SROs in schools and to show how the South Carolina school grossly misused theirs.

Thanks for posting.
