"A police force that can go out to the schools when these things happen" is not going to stop them from happening, which is what is most needed. That would depend upon a whole cascade of societal actions, the most important of which is stopping the easy access of military-style assault weapons. I fail to see how another $20K of hiring bonus would have anything to do with that. This Council shows an appalling lack of either information and common sense.
This, exactly. By the time police arrive it’s too late. And…in terms of money better spent for keeping kids safe, I’d lobby for keeping neighborhood schools open and walkable.
