ACLU wants school police to be unarmed because guns send ‘negative message’

The American Civil Liberties Union wants school police to be unarmed.

Harold Jordan, of the Pennsylvania chapter of the ACLU, wrote a piece for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that called for the disarming of school police. The piece was subsequently republished and tweeted by the organization.

“Having officers patrol the hallways with firearms sends a negative message to students,” he wrote. “It makes many students feel that they are being treated like suspects. It can have an intimidating presence and can contribute to negative attitudes about police, in general.”

Seeing classmates blood spattered and dead on the floor sends an even bigger "negative image."  If the American Communist Lovers Union thinks cops have a negative image, they need only look into the mirror to see where that idea is originating.
