A Los Angeles School District has agreed to give up three grenade launchers acquired through the Pentagon’s Surplus program along with mine-resistant vehicles and other military hardware. The district will keep the set of 60 M16 assault rifles though.
Americans concerned about the militarization of our regular city police departments may find the spread of the trend to school district police forces even more ominous.

L.A.is hell!cops need all they can get!
Why in the world does a school district (LA California) require 60 M16 rifles? And who might be the ones using them?
I woulda kept the grenade launchers for their cs capabilities and everyone worries to much how is it ok for you as the public to own these assult rifles but not cops lets play a situation your being held hostage with a fully automatic ak 47 what would you like the people rescuing you to have? A semi auto shot gun where they don’t stand a chance or a M16 where idk about the other branches but in the Marine corps I was taught to never use Burst fire only ever use semi auto
what does a school district need with armored vehicles, are they going to declair war on the citizens of caligornis.
O what yall on do about it
How about the school gang members that are armed like Isis, I guess that ain’t a good reason.
is it to protect kids,orprotect themselfs from kids.
Its for running over citizen’s and murdering citizen’s
That’s all cops no how to do is kill and murder un armed citizen’s
LASD has a very active gang population. Grenade launchers are used for tear gas. Ime resistant vehicles are defensive in nature. Nothing to be concerned about.
Maybe they need to pick up kids in south central LA lol
