- Black Lives Matter protests of 2020 called up an issue that, you know, we'd been talking about for years around police violence.

All of these cities were saying, we're going to get rid of police in schools.

At the same time, Antioch was going the other way.

- Talk about it!

- It don't sound right!

All the research, you know what it says?

SROs don't work!

They say it criminalizes our students!

- Yeah!

- It's very tough, because the school board had just cut $1.8 million in funding.

And somehow, someway, they were going to find $375,000 to put into school resource officers.

They're going to hear us, right?

[crowd shouting] - After George Floyd was murdered, our schools, they had said, we stand with you, and stuff like that.

If you stand with us, then how can you put officers on our campus?

- Counselors, not cops!

crowd: Counselors, not cops!

- I feel uneasy knowing that it's a whole officer on campus, with their gun armed, ready to shoot whenever.

- Counselors, not cops!

crowd: Counselors, not cops!

- We will vote you out!

crowd: We will vote you out!

- We will vote you out!

crowd: We will vote you out!

- A lot of students showed up.

A lot of alumni showed up.

And basically, you know, they said, either you're going to vote no, or we're not going to let the meeting go.

- I mean, it goes to show how they feel towards us.

We're telling you that we don't want officers on our campus, and yet you still feel like, oh, yeah, we can still put officers on the campus.

It doesn't matter.

Like, you know, they'll be OK.

But, like, we're not OK.
