You need police in hospitals to maintain security for the patients in there. It's not uncommon to have incidents with people from the outside trying to assault/murder someone they know in the hospital. Criminals shot on the street still have to go to the hospital and this leaves an opportunity for their would-be-murderer to come in and finish the job.
Schools, it's sad but I'm in favor of school resource officers. Those people were good to have around and can serve as a role model.
- justSayin000001 6y agoYou can call them “school resource officers”, but that doesn’t magically make them good. They are typically a role model for high school bullies who want to continue to bully after graduation (aka be a police officer).
- pluto9 6y ago> They are typically a role model for high school bullies who want to continue to bully after graduation Are you saying that bullies are more likely to become cops if there's an SRO around? I'd really, really like to see a source for that.
- op00to 6y agoThey were not. The school resource officer when I was in high school used to tailgate student to get them to speed then write tickets. Entertainingly, his son was quite the cocaine enthusiast in high school. Now his son is the resource officer. Cops in schools is a waste of time and money.
