Hummmmm....this has been going on in other suburbs for over 20 years. Why now? Most kids have no love for Solon police. Especially the younger officers that drive around and purposely harass them using foul language etc. Send the kids with an older officer on the ride alongs. Maybe that can change some opinions. I have had children in the school system. No, my kids were not perfect. Both are through college and doing great. I lost all respect for Solon police long ago.
