I'm Still Pissed We Have Cops in Schools in the First Place

And y'all are talking about upping the ante.
Cops don't belong in schools. They weren't there when I grew up, and that was in the fricking nineties when gang violence was a real and present danger.
I hate how every national tragedy seems to force us to chip away with vigor at our rights and conveniences.
Install metal detectors.
Remote locks on doors.
School wide surveillance.
More armed cops.
Listen to yourselves. This is ridiculous.

We always had a police officer at my school in the 80s and 90s. And that was a very small, rural, hick school.
I find it odd that other schools didn't.

Yeah. F' you.
I want cops in my kids schools. They are EVERYWHERE else.
Protect our kids like we protect the White House, congress, courts, banks, stadiums, fairs, concerts, etc. etc. etc.

When it's my tax dollars paying for the school, I want to ensure that nothing like what happened Valentine's Day is going on. It's not chipping away at the rights and conveniences, it's protecting an asset.

Only time we had cops at school was for traffic control at the larger sports events.
Different world today though.

Why not?
When I was in school we always had a cop on campus everyday during school.

What is your plan to stop people from going into these schools and starting to shoot children?
I mean just about everything else in this country is protected by cops and firearms.

Why are cops at school a bad thing? And, what do you propose?

Switch locations for a moment. Instead of a school, picture going to the airport without the following:
Metal Detectors
Locks on doors
Airport-wide surveillance
Plenty of armed cops.
You cannot have total security without giving up some small level of rights and conveniences. Take off your red-colored glasses and look at this from a parent's perspective.
Listen to YOURself. You sound ridiculous.
FYI: I vote republican in almost every election, and probably still will, but my political beliefs will not get in the way of me demanding tighter AND more security in schools. We can avoid other soft targets if we want to. We don't HAVE to go to the theater. We don't HAVE to go to the mall. We don't HAVE to get on a plane. And we don't HAVE to take the subway. But our kids must learn. Sure, we can home-school them but then one parent must stop working and you run the risk of your child being behind socially from the lack of social interaction that is so important to a developing mind. Schools are different, it's where our children spend so much of their time and we have to work together as humans and figure this thing out with EACH side giving up something they strongly believe in in order to make it happen.

Let me tell you something. These are MY kids and grandkids in MY local school. YOU don't tell ME jackshit.
In this town WE will do whatever WE deem necessary to keep them safe, including standing in the damned doors with AR15's if that is what it takes. Or hiring extra police officers to patrol the campuses.
And for any of you snowflakes out there reading this, our local elementary school is named after General Lee. It was been for many many years and we see no reason to change it. Nothing you can do about it.

Shut up idiot. I went to high school when we had metal detectors and had to use clear backpacks.

I do remember those days. You could show up at the airport 15 minutes before your flight. It was awesome.

We had an EBRSO school liaison officer when I was in junior high and high school in the mid-to-late 1970's.

They turn what should be school disciplinary matters into legal matters.

Nothing. Isolated incidents should never be a reason for sweeping changes to the system.

We had a cop at my louisiana public school. Probably around 6th grade was when i first remember it, but i remember it being for keeping us in line. We had a lot of fights.
Eta: this wouldve been around 1990.

It must be so hard being so inconvenienced that you have to wait for something in life. Lucky for me I started flying after 9/11 so all I know is lines.

Awesome.
Now do supermarkets. Then Home Improvement Stores...churches...playgrounds...etc.
You need to accept the reality that if someone wants to do something like this, it cannot be stopped.

Sounds like jail. I let a teacher use my pocket knife to cut a loose thread.

West Jeff Penitentiary always needed JPSO

For a school of 500 students, it would cost $240 per student to hire two cops on $60k/year salaries. Sounds like a great deal to me.

Believe they carried this "gun free zone" to the extreme. They wouldn't even allow armed security on campus. Total collapse. The FBI failed miserably, the school district failed miserably. Bottom line.....17 innocents dead.
We can all agree.....this massacre should never have happened.
