The involvement of school resource officers in two separate student shootings this week in Wisconsin highlights the role they can play in a worst-case scenario.

FILE - In this Dec. 3, 2019 file photo, students are evacuated from the scene of an officer involved shooting at Oshkosh West High School after an armed student confronted a school resource officer in Oshkosh, Wis. . While the thousands of officers in schools are dedicated to law enforcement first, they spend much of their days as counselors and educators.

Beyond their law enforcement role, the model for school resource officers endorsed by the U.S. Justice Department enlists them also as mentors, informal counselors and educators on topics ranging from bullying to drunk driving with the goal of promoting school safety. “I want my students to understand first and foremost that I love them dearly and there is nothing they can do, bad or good, to change how much I care about them,” he said."Their choices can limit my options in how I communicate that love, but it is never any less true."

In Wisconsin, an Oshkosh Police Department resource officer shot a 16-year-old student Tuesday after the boy stabbed him at Oshkosh West High School. On Monday, a resource officer at Waukesha South High School helped clear students out of a classroom after a student pointed a pellet gun at another student’s head. Another police officer entered the room and shot the student. Neither of the students who were shot suffered life-threatening injuries.

Good news.

Key here is they were ARMED!!! So proud of my state.

kids are mean and will attack a resource officer, They even attack the teachers that are not allow to touch the students.

Oh kill kids now.?

There’s probably a solution to this somewhere

Having cops in schools is wrong. Call them if there is a crisis, otherwise, have a LEARNING ENVIRONMENT, not have to worry some stupid cop will shoot you!!!

Pretty sad that we have to put cops in schools because cowards with guns want to shoot places up. Guns are a mental disorder

Schools are not to be run like prisons Get armed security out of campuses
