Who needs to sneak fire power onto campus when they bring it in for you?

What....no hand grenades?

I do like that article calls an AR-15, "SWAT-style weaponry", when SWAT uses fully automatic weapons instead. Second,these school cops will NOT be carrying these weapons in their daily routines. They are storing these for use during an emergency situation, which will probably be never.

Good use of the school district's money then, eh. But it guess in Compton, it's not needed anywhere else.

You couldn't pay me enough money to work in the Compton School District....I'll just say that.

Doesn't change the fact that this money could have been use for a better purpose.

I'm sorry, but it sounds like this is the better purpose for these schools (especially, given the lack of "outrage"). Anyway, the amount of money being spent is miniscule compared to how much money these schools spend and waste...that would be a better focus of scrutiny.
