Obama administration to allocate $45M for cops in schools

[himher 634]

The Obama administration plans to spend millions of dollars to place armed police officers in schools throughout the country in a move advocated by the National Rifle Association in the wake of last December's shooting massacre in Newtown, Conn.

The Department of Justice announced Friday it's giving nearly $45 million to fund 356 new school resource officer positions. Funding will be provided by grants from the department's Community Oriented Policing Services, or COPS, office.

Haha...even when he does what you want you find an issue with it. Dear lord...

He should consider Wayne Lapierre to run his foreign policy instead of Putin.

eventually they always do what the NRA wants anyway.

Nobody has an issue with what he is doing. It is highly amusing when an elected official's dearly held principles are cast aside for political expediency

Next time he should just ask the NRA what he should do (since he doesn't really know what to do because there is no success story around him in regards to protecting communities and children) and then go do it

The COPS program has been around since 1994 and announces grantees annually. Only the truly delusional would believe - or suggest - that this has anything to do with Wayne LaPierre's more guns message from earlier this year. Gun aficionados are quite limited.

The NRA was initially criticized by Democrats for focusing so closely on school security, and rejecting gun control measures, following the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School.in which 26 people were killed. NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre in December called for armed officers to be installed in every school in the country.

In past years, such grants have eventually resulted in hiring officers to patrol schools, but Friday’s announcement marks a shift in that grant award decisions were explicitly weighted to give money to jurisdictions that said they would use the money to protect schools, officials said.

B. it was not on MSNBC, Al-Jazerra, Salon,CNN or other left wing approved sources so it is obvious right wing biased hate,no matter how many facts they quote

For your info,

The NRA didn't invent the concepts of "putting gun where guns are needed" or the 2nd Amendment.

They simply embrace them.

I see. We're quoting Murdoch's Wall Street Journal to lend credibility to a report on Murdoch's Fox News.

There's a reason why it is called the right wing echo chamber.

Now there you go again, bad mouthing Americas favorite News Channel.

Why can't all the "truth tellers" like CNN and MSNBS down in the ratings all the time?

I haven't bad mouthed anything in that statement. I merely pointed out that one cannot lend credibility to the report from a propaganda machine by quoting another outlet of that same propaganda machine.
