Los Angeles Unified School District police officials are considering whether they need the armored vehicle and grenade launchers they received from the U.S. military.

Don’t prejudge the seriousness they face. My observation is that many, many children are pi**ed-off at having to face mooch-elle nobama’s lunch menu. NO TWINKIES! NO PEACE!!
I’d think the LAPD would provide coverage for the LAUSD. However, this sounds like the LAUSD has their own cops? I don’t know. Perhaps LAUSD contracts with LAPD for police protection. Does LAUSD have its own SWAT Team to be trendy? I wonder how these Super Ninja cops are salivating over getting to use their toys on the students. It’s clobbering time!
This is the LAUSD...many schools are gang central...it’s only fair that the cops are equally armed..
So the LA Public school police want to blow up their own children. I can’t really imagine such a situation where the police would ever be able to justifiably uses a grenade launcher in an American Public school.
That is unless the people of LA have decided they want to be able to blow up their own kids, along with any malcontent that may have taken them hostage.
No there are some things you have to do the hard way, no matter the personal risk. They need to give the launchers and the vehicles to the California National Guard.
“This is the LAUSD...many schools are gang central...it’s only fair that the cops are equally armed..”
Numerically yes, but the weapons of police officers should be designed to take people alive if possible. If ever the officers are in a situation in which they need to take down an army with military organization and weapons they need to call the California National Guard. that’s why California has a national guard.
The kids at these gang infested schools have APCs? The LAUSD doesn’t need APCs, the LAUSD needs A-10s!
Insanity.
Well, this is a strange turn of events.
After Newton we heard all kinds of challenges about having armed officers at schools and now they will employ an armored vehicle capable of firing small missiles?
Hell yes! After all, those first graders have killer spitballs and rubberband guns. Gotta take them out!
Remember, this is LA and California, the biggest insane asylum in the US if not the world (No. Korea is in contention though).

Ahh they must have been some what embarrassed to do that. They can easily get the grenade launcher back when the story goes away.
Although I don’t see why they think they need a vehicle that is made for a combat zone like Irag that can absorb RPG and AK-47 rounds.... What could they possibly need it for?
Worried about another Beslan, I guess.
