Parkland Florida , Armed teachers, stronger security and better law enforcement are needed to head off another school shooting like the one in Parkland, according to a panel reviewing the massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. The state commission investigating the shooting that killed 17 people on Feb. 14 released a draft report Wednesday listing a series of failures by Broward County agencies and recommendations for avoiding a similar tragedy in the future.
The state 407-page report, found that deputies didn’t rush into the school to stop the carnage, and school staff committed numerous security breaches, including leaving doors unlocked and not calling a “Code Red” alarm quickly enough.The panel also voted to include a controversial proposal allowing classroom teachers to carry guns in schools if they go through a selection process that would include background checks and training. Such a change would require the state Legislature’s approval.
Previously President Trump suggested he will consider a proposal to arm school teachers in an attempt to prevent mass shootings. The president said allowing airline pilots to carry and conceal guns had demonstrated the measure could be a success.
…meanwhile, NJ is taking bullets away from cops.
No, no, no, no, no. Do not burden our teachers with this and do not place more guns in schools. It is ridiculous.
So you’d rather not have the potential weapon in the school that would save your daughter from having her head blown off because you don’t want to ” burden” yourself? Are you really that much of a coward?
YOUR ridiculous and a quivering coward to boot. Move out of the way and let the real men and women protect our children.
