Response to School to Prison Pipeline

I knew that students were being punished for nonsense crimes and majority of the students that were being punished came from schools that were located in low-income neighborhoods. The documentary shows these crimes that these students were getting arrested for. Shooting that occur in the school have traumatized the school systems to become more aware of suspicious weapons to protect our students and teachers. Tragedies like school shootings are unpredictable and is not easily preventable, so arresting students for ridiculous crimes will not help the school system get better but it deprive these students to even want to go to school. The students that do these crimes just need the correct guidance and should not be arrested at such a young age.The youth of today are intimidating but the students from the low income schools are the ones who are lucked out. They are the ones who are always looked at as the bad students. There are more cops in the low budget schools than there are in high budge schools, and yet most of the shootings occur in the high budget schools. I highly disagree with the rules of arresting students for stealing gum, having a toy etc. I think officers should be looking at all the schools not just the low budget schools and personally they should be investigating actual crimes rather than these ridiculous so-called "crimes."
