Jesus, that’s so fucked up. I’m not surprised that he’s still there, though. I remember ours manhandled the shit out of thus freshman I knew. The kid was a shit talker but he was like maybe 110 lbs soaking wet. He also just absolutely relished in intimidating us. He had held me and my friends for over an hour trying to sweat us when he came up on us at the park. It was a regular occurrence, threatening that he would call our parents or throw us in juvi. It was demented.
Yeah, that’s about normal. Usually the excuse when they hurt innocent kids was “well, they aren’t angels, and he was right to suspect them”. Which was always used against poor kids.
The SRO was black, but that didn’t stop him from being racist either. But he dished it out to basically any of the latchkey kids who were caught with joints at any point during highschool or middle school.
All the SROs for elementary through highschool knew each other, so they’d pass on “trouble kid” lists and those lists became self fulfilling prophecies for the most part.
