Cops in schools should not be dealing with Javontsvious throwing his milk carton in the lunchroom. Let the administrators handle problem kids who commit crimes in schools. This could get interesting. Note to all cops responding to school calls, drive safely, obey all traffic rules, stope at red lights and stop signs, find a legal parking spot etc.
