  1. This is a race baiting piece meant to create further division in our community. If black students are committing a disproportionate number of crimes then deal with it. Having said that, Personally I don’t want a line of police offices everywhere I go—sporting events, concerts, amusement parks, businesses, schools. It doesn’t exactly make me feel like I’m in a safe place. If we’ve gotten to that point, we’ve lost

  2. They don't want to protect schools, if they did they would have metal detectors like the air ports do. How many mass shootings happened at airports? NONE!

  3. Yes I agree school's should have an officer or two present.

  4. A tax on manufacturer's profits and the sale of guns and ammo to completely cover all of the costs involved , not part of the education budget.

  5. What was the point of this video? Instead of making the police officers feel unwelcome in the schools, maybe the students and their parents should look into and work on their behaviors. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen videos of mostly black kids in fights or otherwise being disrespectful. Stop demonizing the authorities.

  6. in my opinion i think its a good thing to have 1 armed guard to patrol schools not the police the police have more to worry about out here than to patrol a school so i suggest armed security

  7. Yeah I'm sure they still would hide wait let children die while waiting for backup and not doing a thing

  8. No police and no teachers with guns in schools please! The more wild animals per acre in the Amazon jungle, the more the chances of being killed by one of them. The more guns per acre a country has, the more the chances of being killed by one of them, either accidentally or on purpose. We do need strict gun control, as civilized countries like Israel, Japan, Switzerland, and the Scandinavian countries do have. 💕 ☮ 🌎 🌌

  9. Well if society doesnt want to get rid of guns and continue to allow easy access to them then okay…police in schools may be necessary.

  10. It won't be long before America faces a choice between converting our schools into prisons or living in a (relatively) gun-free society like the rest of the developed world. Your pick.

  11. combat veterans! no law enforcement power whatsoever. no federal involvement. no cops. end the prison state.

  12. As a black man born and raised in South Central LA during the 90's when gang activity and drugs were completely out of control I appreciated having school police on campus. Even tho they were there the Dean's still ran my junior high school and I never felt like I was in prison. But I also remember uniformed cops being assigned to patrol outside campus and our on campus officer was dressed in street clothes. No visible gun or handcuffs but we knew he was a cop and were able to interact with him. The same technique can be applied today… its needed. I rather that than mandate teachers to have guns in the classroom.

  13. They should be in our schools because we pay them are harder and tax money how about a little less money on nukes and more money on security and schools subways bus stations anywhere you take our money this stuff doesn’t happen in rich neighborhoods quit playing

  14. The question is, what kind of society are we, that this is necessary?

  15. Could have them in a parameter around the campus..

  16. But there were cops at Uvalde???? It didnt stop anything.

  17. They shouldn't be patrolling anywhere! The dumb asses can't take care of themselves! Definitely not capable of intelligent choices!

  18. Why? It's already been made clear the police are USELESS!

  19. No they are useless. The perents should.

  20. Schools here where I live already have armed police in the schools.

  21. There was a corrupt cop in my school 2011. I google drugs to understand what these drugs wheres and the cop ….thought believed i was some high level narco level . Even though it was known the white people where bringing in these problems

  22. 3:06 their has been 27 school shootings THIS YEAR does that sound rare to you?

  23. Yes. At least 2 of them would be enough to me!

  24. Police should be outside the school but not in the building

  25. Totally a great idea, in my high school there was always police around. But in elementary schools, should be an idea for police to take patrol in.

  26. Most schools have police but they need ones with cajones

  27. Texas has seen the most school shootings since 2012, followed by California, Illinois, Florida and Pennsylvania.

  28. The less police in schools, the less chance they trample over the students running from the shooter.

  29. Putin would have NEVER invaded Ukraine if TRUMP was PRESIDENT🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
    Trump is a LIVING God 🇺🇸🕇🇺🇸 and probably the GREATEST MAN to have EVER lived past present and future…He is the KING OF AMERICA…👑👑👑…😍😍😍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
