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.
Check out Tami Abdolla’s article in the San Jose Mercury News at the link:
Public schools in certain places have always been overrun with violence. I was a teenager in Birmingham, Alabama when “bussing” was started in the early 70’s, and the black kids being bussed to schools in white communities, took out their anger and hatred on white kids. Not a whole lot different than prison. I have friends from that era who to this day, have poor reading and writing comprehension, as they were too busy trying to survive and watch their backs. Inner city schools in NYC and Chicago are just as bad. People who haven’t attended such schools have no idea how bad it really is
We didn’t have millions of aliens crossing border gettin free food stamps welfare medical phones like there is now hell if they’d tried it back than our parents would be the ones stopping them from commin across the border
In a time school funding is drying up. They can afford 70 grand for this? This doesn’t include operational cost like fuel and insurance… This is stashing equipment for civil unrest is what I see… Are they teaching the kids about Orwell writings?
Not for the schools. All of that military equipment will be used by the terrorist on American citizens.
lausd. talk about the inmates running the asylum
Shouldn’t these vehicles be patrolling the borders..???? Talk about overkill for the schools. This appears to be more indoctrination to the children of a New World Order and conditioning them to a police Communist state.
It’s not like we are in debt or broke or anything.
BS!!
Christopher skunc school funding, if unavailable, is getting dried up because of an over burdening administration diverting funds away from the kids. This story is a good example.
Lol we should start stealing these things. Lol they arent all protected well. Take them home knock off any transponders and store it in your barn.
