That's good, teach the kids to fear the police. How stupid!

I completely agree with him wearing his uniform and duty weapon. I mean, it's his job, and it most likely makes other people in the school feel safer when he's there, not the other way around. After all, he's a police officer, not a normal citizen with a gun.

That is weird,what for yet kids are aware of the existence of cops and the use of guns, that is being silly.

Indeed. Kids don't live in bubbles now-a-days. They know that cops are good people that help other people catch bad guys and use pistols, so I don't really know what the parents are concerned about. I guess their concern is the fact that some massacres happen in schools and they're afraid the cop faces psychological problems and does one of those.
Well, I can see how the kids may be scared of a police officer with his gun in uniform, but seriously? they should be feeling safe that a police officer is nearby, if some guy with a gun just storms out of nowhere then whelp, there's a police officer that can solve the situation.

When School shootings happen it's a bad day for everyone. Asking a police officer not to wear his gun and uniform to the school seems to me like you are putting everyone especially the Children at risk. When I was a kid you had plenty of respect for police. Most if not all police I believe everyone of them would put their life on the line to save a child

What is funny and sad about this whole situation is that the school is asking him to come back into the school and have an awareness type of training day for the kids. Why? The funny thing is in the video it shows an armed police officer at school so why are the kids not afraid of them. The parents complain to the principal and the principal ask the officer not to come dressed in work clothes. It sounds like a bunch of paranoid gun grabbers trying to make a point. What they don't realize is he is not the problem. Parents better stop teaching their kids to run and hide and being afraid of everything or you will end up with your children living back in your house when their 30 years old because they can't stand up to the bully in the office. I think I'm now ranting

isn't it his right to wear it in public.Ridiculous action by that school.The school explaining its logic too is silly."Unarmed people in a school don't like someone showing up in uniform, and all it represents to them, wearing a firearm".Should he have his ccw permit,there are no state laws prohibiting it being carried to schools...

Insanity! From my perspective, children ought to trust police officers and know they are there as their guardian angels. I would want any officer to be in full uniform, belt and packing around my children. They would be better suited to know that the police is on their side and not against them. Pretty poor choice to tell him to wear plain clothes.

Well, I guess this only happened because school directorship is letting themselves be influenced by parents too much, instead of thinking by themselves. I hope to see updates too.

How much further does society need to go? Doctors must remove scrubs because they were in the presence of ill patients, so they have to change. Or waitresses must change also because it will teach children that working in a blue collar profession is unsuitable. Ugh. I can't.
