I guess this school district think they need grenade launchers for the children?

What could possible go wrong?
A bunch of liberal educators with no training and a grenade launcher....

More to the point, why does the LA school district need it’s own police force?

Someone told them that Christians were strong, numerous, and believed they had God on their side.

Great question! There is absolutely NO NEED for it.
However, the State of California could use this on the border.
To: Enlightened1
At least CBS isn’t calling it a “tank” anymore.

Every child should have his or her own militia weapon. An M-203 will do.

FINALLY! The LA Unified School District has a way to protect itself from those constantly rioting and looting Tea Partiers! We’ve all heard about their speaking of a Constitution and having a bunch of freedoms guaranteed to them - it’s just crazy talk! I heard that after they have a public rally, they usually clean up after themselves - totally disrespecting the Public Sanitation Workers Union!! And they also (gasp) believe we pay too much in taxes, what would Commrade Obama say about that?!

Oh Lord, I hope we don’t see Maxine Waters having a “Dukakis moment” getting behind the wheel of one of these.

Armored vehicles I can see, but grenade launchers?
To: Enlightened1
The sole reason for the police to have an armored vehicle is so that they will have a safe place to hide.

Well, I guess if they have their own police force, they must be the safest schools in the country!

Probably to combat the thousands of gang members Obastard imported from Mexico.

I’m guessing these are the old 230 “grenade launchers” that have been replaced by the 320’s. Can they fire grenades? Sure. But they can also be used for tear gas and such. Which is what I assume any school would use them for. Grenade launchers just sound so much more violent and that’s good for the press.

Oh yeah it could never happen here....(sarcasm off)
To: Enlightened1
I guess the LA Unified School District must have some very dangerous and violent students to require an ex-military APC! Granted, the grenade launchers shoot smoke or tear gas grenades, but why does it need machine guns? The students had better stock up on Molotov cocktails in self defense. I wonder what the LAUSD rules of engagement are for massacring the student bodies?

I always thought the LAPD was responsible for the safety in this school district?
To: Enlightened1
They don’t really own them. They are just taking care of them until pResident Obola declares martial law and reclaims them.
