[QUOTE="sherrick13, post: 3790390, member: 9406"] As a retired po po let me give you my opinion. First of all, the whole problem isn't a gun problem or a school security problem. It is a cultural problem. There have been guns in and around schools for all of history, but shooting elementary kids is a recent phenomena. Our culture of zero shame and zero stigma of abhorrent behavior leads to all the weird ******** that is going on right now, to include the mass shootings. Tolerate immoral crap and you get trash people doing trash activities. Having said all of that, having school resource officers in every school is a huge waste of resources. Most schools don't need them and the SRO's tend to end up being the lazy, lame or worthless officer that gets stuck there because it keeps them away from everyone else. The Parklane officer is a perfect example of this. The best way to be able to react to these events is to have teachers armed if they choose and to make it a local police policy to drop in on schools when an opportunity exists for a few minutes, rather than keep an officer sitting on his ass all day there doing nothing.
