Put Cutty on the Bus!

This article is in response to the Baltimore City Schools and student violence on MTA busses. man! Violence has been in the news lately and not just violance but teen violence. We got kids swinging chairs at teachers, kids beating down other kids in school, kids beating adults on MTA busses.
Now the schools are asking for 1000 volunteers from the community to help with this wave of violence. What if they do get the number of volunteers that they want? What are they going to do with them?
I have an idea for some of them. Put them on the bus. But don't just put some unsuspecting volunteer on the bus like a school aid or anything. Put a thug on the bus. A big thug. Someone who will take charge of a few little knuckleheads if they think they can step out of line and intimidate anyone.
This idea makes me think of Cutty from the Wire. Cutty served 14 yrs in jail and wanted to go straight when he got out. It was hard for him because all he saw was the life that got him in the joint in the first place. With a few good leads from the church deacon he had a few good breaks and opened up a youth boxing gym for kids to train in and get off the street.
We need a few Cutty's on the busses or even in the schools. We need guys who know the youth and where the come from and, more importantly, where they're going to end up. We need grown-ass men who want to do right in their community. we need men who are fed up with the senseless violence and want to be part of a solution. Put Cutty on the bus.
OK, maybe not Cutty exactly. I can't see putting a convicted violent offender in charge or kids, but someone similar who can pass a school background check.
This is my idea in its infant stage. I can already think of a dozen reasons why this plan would NOT work but it seems like one that might be tested if the situations gets bad enough to go for broke.
