An increasing number of American cities are rethinking the presence of law enforcement officers in their schools. City officials are considering ways to answer the concerns of thousands of people who have protested the death of George Floyd. In some areas, young protesters have been demanding the removal of officers from schools. George Floyd, a 46-year-old black man, died May 25 in Minneapolis, Minnesota after a white police officer pressed his knee on his neck for nearly nine minutes. Floyd was handcuffed and lying on the ground. He can be heard saying “I can’t breathe” in videos of his arrest and death. Minneapolis suspended its school resource officer program last week. School district officials in nearby Saint Paul, Minnesota, and in Denver, Colorado, are considering doing the same. Protesters in Charlottesville, Virginia have made the end of its school resource officer program one of their demands.
