 We were presented with different challenges and we chose the challenge of bettering the relationship between cops and students. We decided to kickball just because it was a fun game that anybody can play. We thought that if you get to play with the officers and see them as humans and have fun with them, it will kind of build that relationship that they're there to protect you and not to hurt you. We're mixing the teams. It won't be the high schoolers against the police. It's actually together just to kind of improve those relations and get a natural setting. I'm the high school resource officer here at South High School. I just hope that, like, they see me, you know, other cops are just like me here at the school, you know. We're here just to help and we're here to do our jobs and we want to go home too. I hope that the teenagers understand that officers are cool, they're nice people and we try to get that back a little bit. The police, you know, they're just like everybody else.
