Wait, the schools have police?
Schools is facing budget cuts. The press is shocked that the school police are buying AR-15s, $130 belt buckles and $400 dress blouses. I’m more surprised that the schools actually have a police department.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

what the hell? When I was in public school (not too long ago) we had one or two armed state police serving as SRO’s. They carried Sigs.

“And we know from the Columbine incident that students can get hold of fully automatic assault rifles and bring them to school,” adds Carolyn Edwards, President of the Clark County Board of School Trustees.

jason beat me to it. Layers of editorial oversight.

It’s a direct quote. Unless you’re saying that Carolyn Edwards didn’t say that, I fail to understand what editorial oversight has to do with it. Would be nice if the writer said that she didn’t know what Edwards was talking about, but…

I was pretty sure fact-checking is part of the editorial process. The quote should have either a)not been included or b)been followed by a factual correction.
Option A would have been the preferred choice for everyone.

Uncle, you hit it on the big picture. Dump the school police department. And tell the parents what police are supposed to do in an emergency… come clean up after bad people do things to defenseless sheep.

Police corruption… Yes I know it is a double negative.

I don’t mind the AR-15s. But I bet the rest is part of ‘SWAT’ gear.
Yea schools really need a SWAT team, to sit there and wait till the killers have ran out of bullets before moving in.

“I’m more surprised that the schools actually have a police department.”
…and a school police union.

Hey, you can’t have a zero tolerance policy against self defense if you don’t have a written policy on what the school police will do if there is a fight in the cafeteria or a mad gunman running down the halls. Otherwise, you might get taken to court by the victim of a bully and lose.

I would not be so polite with my reaction but I’m trying to clean up my language!
Oh! What the heck?, I’ll just call her a moron and be done with it!

I’m curious as to how many of these “school officers” could hit a target under stress with their “training” ARs. Or do they just want them to intimidate students? Increasingly, modern police tend to be swaggering, insecure buttholes with all the charm of used tampons. This is a trend that badly needs reversal. The soultion, of course, is to cut their budgets and make security more of a personal-responsibilty issue.

Er…”solution”, rather. Oops.

Do those “semi-automatic assault rifles” come with “Big Bullet-Busting Boxes”?
March 1st, 2011 at 11:28 pm
They used to have NO police, then they had city police, now our school system has it’s own police force so they don’t have to report crimes into any system but their own.
