    I live in Czechia. Having a police officer in a school sound unimaginable to me.

    Immagine in your dumb blind view of More Freedom, enabling such a big control by your government that you have Armed Police at every children’s school.
    USA is insane.

    Guns are not the problem. People that think they know about guns are the problem and people that blame the problem on the tool not the crime.

    Oliver is such a Fraud and LIAR. The Osceola County, Florida girl who was “Slammed” by the Deputy deserved exactly what she got. Days after the incident, MULTIPLE other Students families filed court restraining orders against the girl featured in that story. What a slime-ball Oliver is. That girl terrorized other students.

    A big portion of people have just one motivation to become a cop, that being “I’m a loser, nobvody willm ever respect me, give me a gun, to get some respect but hell no expect me to actually pritect anybody, I just wanna look fancy in my uniform!”

    The idea that SRO’s can’t help at all in school shootings that the CNN lady is selling seems….weak. She’s awfully vague about the rationale, “[the shooter] comes in heavily armed and know the layout” isn’t a reason for SRO Ineffectiveness. But SRO’s are commonly on-site once a week, so basing “data” simply on whether or not a school that was shot up had an SRO is misleading, the question needs to be were they there, and if so what did they do. I doubt the implication that they make school shootings worse on average, and I’d honestly rather have a cop on-site to engage a crazy person with a gun than no cop to engage a crazy person with a gun.

    As for the discipline, yeah, in no world should an SRO be involved with disciplining the students. If a student rapes another, sure, let the cops arrest, things that are actually real crimes. But for not leaving the classroom when asked or for graffiti? Wtf? That’s unfortunately a failure of the cops AND the teachers AND the board, as teachers shouldn’t be relying on SRO’s for discipline, and the board shouldn’t be allowing it, and the cops shouldn’t be engaging them like they’re adults. And most importantly, the cop’s training needs reform. But you see it as “needs defunding”, and I see it as “needs additional funding” because they need more training, they’re obviously not trained enough as-is.

    Then “we know gun control fixes it” is an obviously subjective statement, but saying it is easy. Implementing it in a way that works and is constitutional isn’t easy. “Ban all AR-15’s” for example is idiotic, there will be incredible push-back and they account for a tiny portion of deaths. “Make FBI accountable for acting when these people who are red flagged buy guns” won’t have much push back, and will likely have a big effect since every time there’s a shooting it turns out they were on some FBI watch list for really direct statements they’ve made, yet nothing was done. Even this Uvalde incident, the guy was on a watch list, and bought the gun at an FFL, so he obviously got a background check – what did the FBI do when this guy who was threatening bought a rifle? Nothing, watched.
