I agree that a cop in school without a weapon is just another target,but I guess they are afraid of the liability if a student were to somehow get it from him and use it to commit a crime.I don't know with all the latest shootings there may be a change in this soon,it would make sense to me to have them patrol the halls armed,because some of the students do.What the hell is wrong with the world,when I was a kid we traded pocket knifes at recess,we even traded with the teachers and coaches,that would be a suspension and a possible lawsuit now days.What are people teaching their kids?I dont remember any cuttings or anything,I saw a few busted noses and black eyes,but not hundreds of stitches from knives or bullet holes and body bags.Not sure if this is state law or local ordinance,they might be armed in bigger schools here in KY.
