вЂњIt shows all the physical harms that young people experience by police,' she said. Since 2007, the Advancement Project has documented at least 200 instances of officers at schools assaulting students, she said. Researchers have found that Black students report feeling less safe around police officers than their white peers and that officers in predominantly Black school districts were more likely to view students themselves to be threats.Д«lack students and other students of color also are disproportionately likely to have negative interactions with police in schools, ranging from referrals to law enforcement to being arrested or restrained, said Katherine Dunn, director of the Opportunity to Learn program at the Advancement Project. Critics say having armed police on campus often results in Black students being disproportionately arrested and punished, leading to what they call the school-to-prison pipeline. Police officers have a regular presence at schools across the country in recent decades, often in the form of school resource officers, who are tasked with building relationships with young people to promote trust of law enforcement, providing security, and enforcing laws. вЂњIf you really think about why police donвЂ™t make us safer, you can draw connections to all types of tragedies that impact the most marginalized among us.вЂќ вЂњWe donвЂ™t see police presence as part of the solution,вЂќ Mobley said. Since 2020, the student group has advocated for eliminating police officers from school buildings in favor of investing in counselors and support staff for students. вЂњI was just forced to stand there and couldn't do anything.вЂќ вЂњThey were crying, вЂWhy are you doing this to me? I didnвЂ™t do anything,'вЂќ said Mobley, co-president of Wake County Black Student Coalition.
