The Oakland Unified School District abolished its own police force at a school board meeting on Wednesday night, bowing to the wishes of radical left-wing activists and the Black Lives Matter movement.The decision came a day after the Los Angeles Unified School District board could not agree on a similar proposal. It follows nationwide demands from activists, including many Democrats, to defund or abolish the police.The San Jose Mercury News reported: In an unanimous vote, the board passed the “George Floyd Resolution to Eliminate Oakland Schools Police Department.” The annual $2.5 million spent on the 10 sworn officers and police administrators is instead expected to be redirected

They had to be picking up only - or at least mostly - black kids. This will not end well…
How shortsighted. Had Trayvon Martin been handled properly by school police, he’d have had a record (for burglary and possible drug trade) but he also might have been deterred from further criminal pursuits and might be alive today. Some have been raised by criminals and will continue the family tradition. Others may see that that is not the way to go.
The school district - like Brower and Miami-Dade in Florida - cares only about statistics. Silly,, because Oakland has long had a reputation for trouble. This won’t fix that.

My wife worked as a teacher in Oakland USD for a year, couldn't wait to get out because of the discipline issues and violence and threats of violence from students and parents. In her opinion, OUSD needs a LARGER police force.

Liberals / Demonrats doing what they do: LIE. This is more of the same insanity that enabled the Parkland massacre. P-C emotional drivel masquerading as caring for the children. In reality it is just more of the same inability to face up to the fact that evil exists and it doesn't give a tinker's dam about your feelings.

I'm pretty sure most of the cops in the Oakland school district were either black or Hispanic.

Let’s see how long it takes for enrollment to drop because parents and children feel totally unsafe unprotected and vulnerable in school.

Not to worry, people - the social workers will take up the slack.

So, violence in schools will increase suddenly and the media will be "shocked".

Beware the filling of the void opening up when the last of the good teachers leave. Hopefully the increase of private schools offset the coming damage.

This is not a very damaging move, campus police are primarily parking lot attendants. Campus rapes will continue and students will continue to use drugs. If you don't like a police-free environment on your campus, find a better school, or a better city.

College crime is not just restricted to democrat cities however. My daughter, attending a small school in Pennsylvania, ignored the vulgar catcalls of a group of young blacks and was hit in the back with a thrown apple. It's not the location it's the culture. Being there on a free ride from some inner city, the average graduation rate of that race at that particular school is 8% so they are there mainly to party for as long as they can stay in school.

When their daughters get raped and murdered and the children shot, see who they're gonna call. Police should end all patrols in black cities. Why put their lives in danger with every freakin call. Their cities are drowning in violent crimes and they still don't get it. If you're a parent and support this, go get your head examined. Got it.

How many teachers and staff will quit before or on the first day of school?

Naming stuff after George Floyd, a career criminal/drug addict? Not too smart, Oakland.

The Dems are pursuing policies that will result in MORE black lives ended, either by death or permanent incarceration. In order to claim you're victimized by racism, you have to be alive.

The Community is getting what it demands from the government it elects. As Mencken said, they deserve to get it good and hard. No skin of mine.

They are sowing the wind.
They will reap the whirlwind.
As other posters have said, this will not solve the crime problem.
All of the middle class families will very strongly consider moving out of the city, reducing the tax base and school head count, which will exacerbate the problem. The upper class and rich already have their own bodyguards and private schools.
I'm afraid the downward spiral won't stop until it hits rock bottom, and maybe not until it's dug in a few feet.
