parents there about the racism that they feel is directed at their kids at this school. that said, the sheriff said something very interesting during his press conference today which was this is an officer they ve never seen exhibit any sort of racial attitudes whatsoever, and perhaps most surprising, the sheriff almost didn t want to admit it but said this is a guy who has had a long-term relationship with an african-american woman so he thought if it cut any way, it would cut toward the direction of the young woman that he s accused of assaulting. so i think they re going to the sheriff s going to give it a good long think over the next 24 hours, 18 hours now, and come up with a decision very, very quickly. miguel marquez. thank you. joini inin ining me now, sunny cnn law enforcement analyst and retiremented nypd detective harry houck and michael dorn, former chief of police for the county georgia school system and executive director of safe havens international. safe havens work
