SRO fights bullying beyond the classroom after video goes viral at his expense
Share this @internewscast.com

BULLOCH COUNTY, Ga. () — A Bulloch County school resource officer is taking a stand against bullying, but not just in the hallways.

Sgt. Bubba Revell who serves with the Bulloch County Sheriff’s Office, posted a series of videos of SROs congratulating the class of 2025.

“I was releasing them a couple each day on Facebook and mine came up and didn’t think anything about it,” said Sgt. Bubba Revell.

Revell said it’s sheriff’s office’s most widely seen video yet.

“Half a million views, then one million views, then two million views, but when we went to the comments, they were real negative,” said Revell.

But he said the video went viral for all the wrong reasons.

“There was a lot of body shaming in there because I’m a big guy – I’ve always been big my whole life,” said Revell. “I just learned to deal with it and roll on, but then they started picking on our other school resource officers.”

As a school resource officer, Revell said he feels like a role model for students.

“What we do says more to them than what we say,” he said.

He felt obligated to stand up to the bullies — with a new hashtag: #BarricadeBubba.

“The good Lord gave us a platform and that’s to combat bullying,” said Revell in a video post.

When asked about the origin of the hashtag, he said:

“One of the comments was they said I looked like a barricade — meaning I was big, so we rolled with it.”

Now, he’s pledging to be the barricade between the community and negativity online. He mentioned that he feels fortunate to be able to take everything in stride, knowing students are online too and could encounter the same hate.

“It would be catastrophic for a young person,” said Revell.

Revell told most of the jokes online weren’t very memorable, but those that he does remember came from the community.

“It really makes you feel special when I mean just everybody’s talking about how sweet you are and how cool you are and how you’ve helped your children or done this and I’m like I don’t even remember doing that,” said Revell. “Because you just do what you do every day.”

Revell said he’s gotten a little extra love this week from the community after what happened.

He said they’re hoping to launch an anti-bullying, T-shirt campaign benefiting a local children’s group with the hashtag, #barricadebubba.
