Newtown Calls for Armed School Officers

[petegz28]

The Newtown Board of Education will be asking the town to make room for more armed police officers in its budget.

In a meeting Thursday, the board voted to request the town to add full time uniformed school resource officers to its four elementary school s for the next fiscal year was approved this evening.
The officers would be Newtown police officers.

“Our parents are demanding of us that things are made safe and secure and certain measures areput in place,” said Chairwoman Debbie Leidlein. “So we’re being very thoughtful.”

Multiple police officers have been stationed at all Newtown schools since the December 14th shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary killed twenty children and 6 teachers. Those officers will remain at the school through the remainder of the school year. For the next fiscal year, resource officers were budgeted only to be at Middle and High Schools.

Parents say security involves more than a police presence. “My main concern is with accessibility to these school, said Neil Johnson, a parent of two Newtown students. “On december 14th that was the main bare-boned reason that occurred.”

“After what happened in our community, i just think we should go over and above and provide a shining example for the rest of the world and protect our kids,” said resident Donna Lorenz.
Members of the Board of Education will be meeting Friday with state and federal officials on securing additions funding for school security.

I just think you need to have every faculty and staff take/pass a fire arms training course. Let them carry on school grounds.

Problem solved.

Make it mandatory to take a firearms safety course. Then give the teachers the option of carrying. A criminal would have no idea if every teacher was carrying or if nobody was carrying. Either way, schools would no longer seem like easy targets.

Gun free zones are the answer! Why can't you people understand if we pass even more laws the crazy people and the criminals will finally understand and quit shooting people~

That would be a nightmare, born of the thinking that people come in two classes and classes only: Those trained in firearms, and "criminals".

I never implied that.

I implied that a criminal would think twice about attacking/robbing/shooting at places where they MAY face return fire.

It is three classes, law abiding gun owners, those who shouldn't own guns but do and ****ing idiots who want to take them from the law abiding~

Just felt like screwing with someone that makes the absurd blanket statement of, "It's three classes, [really only two: gun owners and people who deserve to have there ass kicked]"
