· KRGV (NBC 5)
Recent reports reveal alarming incidents involving police officers in Texas schools using excessive force against students. Following the Uvalde tragedy, school districts have invested billions in police presence, leading to aggressive tactics for minor misbehaviors. Over 2,600 use-of-force incidents were documented from January 2022 to December 2025, with officers often escalating situations. Cases include a 15-year-old boy tackled for throwing food and a 10-year-old boy hogtied for a behavioral issue. Critics argue that the approach to school discipline has shifted dangerously, with many feeling that police are overstepping their roles. The lack of comprehensive oversight raises concerns about accountability.
