Cops at schools often escalate problems and use excessive force on children.

They're part of the youth control complex. They exist to criminalize children, creating a new generation of victim they can use to justify their continued existence. Fuck the police.

America has had cops in schools for 20 years and school shootings have only gone up. Save the money, defund useless cops.
