BRAVO: COP NON-VIOLENTLY STOPS POTENTIAL MASS MURDER AT SCHOOL BY TALKING TO STUDENT

Union County, NC – Arthur J. Wallace Junior, known as ‘June’ by his friends, is the school resource officer for Forest Hills High School. As such, Wallace sees his role as more of a father figure than an officer.
Many of the students he serves have at least one parent in jail, or prison, or has been a victim of a homicide. He reaches out to those kids and finds it easy to build relationships with students, but he didn’t personally know the would-be assassin he’d passed in the halls every day, at least until his apprehension.
The Free Thought Project has reported far too many times on school resource officers who’ve beaten and choked the children they are ostensibly protecting.
Thankfully, the following story has a happy ending, due in part to the example Officer Wallace set for other school resource officers throughout the nation – all of which will likely come as no surprise to folks who call June a friend.
According to Union County Sheriff Eddie Cathey, he was alerted after Canadian authorities became aware of one NC student’s plans to kill his classmates. They, in turn, contacted the NC State Bureau of Investigations (NCSBI), who then contacted Union County Sheriff’s Department. Cathey said he then knew who to call.
