Flashback: Clinton Requests $60 Million to Put Cops in Schools

By Clash Daily / 23 December 2012 / 29 comments

Breitbart/John Nolte- Today, the same elite media who no doubt send their own kids to private schools that employ armed security, just can’t stop howling ridicule at the NRA’s idea to give every student in America those same protections. Because the NRA’s idea is so appealing, as I write this, the media’s going overboard, mocking it as bizarre, crazy, and out of touch.

This is how the media works to silence and vilify the opposition and to ensure that only their ideas control The Narrative. The media doesn’t care about securing our schools; they only care about coming after our guns and handing Obama another political win.

The media also doesn’t care how wildly hypocritical they look.

In their zeal to rampage this left-wing agenda, the media has apparently forgotten that back in 2000, on the one-year anniversary of the Columbine shooting (which occurred with an assault weapons ban in place), President Clintonrequested $60 million in federal money to fund a fifth round of funding for a program called “COPS in School,” a program that does exactly what the NRA is proposing and the media is currently in overdrive mocking:

Well if we can have Valerie Jarrett protected while she is vacationing in the Hamptons, why can’t we have little school children protected?

There are about 98,800 public schools in the US. Clinton requested $60million to put armed cops in schools? That’s just over $600 per school.. per year? How’s a cop going to live on $600 per year?? Is this another example of Democrat-mathematics??

  What about the 34000 private schools?

Clinton did indeed make this request, although the money was not solely or specifically for armed guards at schools. At any rate it was soundly poopoo’d by Republicans.

  It was poopoo’d by the Republicans because they didn’t want any Federal money going into the local schools. There is too much Federal money already there, and that money has given our oppressive Federal government 90% of the control. Local public education is not a part of the Federal government’s responsibility.

    So why is it a good idea now? Politics? Because this time a Conservative brought it up? Bah!

      It’s not a good idea to have cops in schools – republican or democrat proposals – we need teachers who have guns and are trained who will carry in their schools and at least 2 administrative staff should carry (never scheduled to be out of the office on the same day). We need Trained Americans, not more cops.. Additionally, evil people will find someplace else to kill then, grocery stores, parks, etc. What we need are trained Americans who carry and I think this is happening more and more!

Obama and his administration want you unarmed because these traitors want full control of the people and the country, they fear the citizen, that was why our founding fathers wrote the 2nd Amendment for the purpose of fighting a tyrannical government. Obama and Holder committed treason by arming drug cartels which drain our resources and that endangers law abiding citizens.I do not recognize Obama law, only Constitutional laws of my country, he or his administration do not have the authority to take away our rights. If gun bans work so well how come the state he and Emanuel come from (Chicago) is a war zone because they have declared it a gun free zone where the citizens are unarmed while the criminals rob and kill innocent people. The two hypocrites have armed security and wouldn’t leave home without their protection detail. i never leave home without my 9mm and 2 full clips and their gun ban will not stop me because it is unconstitutional.

With the amount of time the schools are in session it wouldn’t cost anyware near what their saying.Take a little money from gold bricks we have in government.

It’s all fine and dandy to see some here praising Clinton for the GREAT idea. The part that this story left out? Republicans in Congress shot this GREAT idea down. You can stop patting yourselves on the back now.

That the NRA is promoting the same position that Bill Clinton once advocated only goes to (once again) expose how compromised the NRA tends to be. Think about it, the government shouldn’t be involved in the education of our children in the first place. Why add to the tax burden by hiring a policeman for what two or more armed teachers can do. For every teacher armed the potential for protection is multiplied that much more over one lone cop.

Check out Gun Owners of America for an uncompromising gun organization. Listen Executive Director Larry Pratt’s views regarding the Biblical responsibility to bear arms in protection of ourselves, families, and neighbors versus the Second Amendment “rights” to do the same at http://www.bibleversusconstitution.org/tapelist.html#goa.

  Finally someone gets it. The NRA sold out membership decade ago, I followed them closely was a die hard member, but dumped them fifteen years ago when they were actively selling out membership just to be establishment hacks. They are completely compromised as you put it Ted, I only wish the other Ted, the “Nuge” would get this. I joined GOA fifteen years ago, when i researched and found NRA to be problematic in their support for certain bills.

Hoovercarole

The cops have enough to do… I say one Military Vet per school an hour prior to first bell till one hour after the last person has left. Lets employ the vets-maybe the superintendents could cough up a portion of their bonuses to pay for it. Semper Fi

If our “DO NOTHING CONGRESS” would stop funding foregin countries, and Illegals, and paid more attention to the taxpyers here in the U.S. we would have more than enough money to arm the borders with National Guard Troops, and also our schools. I would install Sheriff JOE ARPIO, as Holders replacement. We need a true american patriot who loves our country in this position.

That was then, this is now. The Clintons have both been masters at telling the public what thety want to hear. Most teachers are Libs and would never touch a gun, let alone use how to properly use one. Security is a must with the mentally ill roaming freely about, I’d use police, ex military for school security.
David Hodges

We need cops at school like we need the government gunners at the Mexican border. There are plenty of people already around who would be glad to protect our interests, but are prohibited from doing so. We don’t need the Second Amendment. We need God’s law. The Second Amendment is like permission from an older sibling to do what is already authorized by one’s parent. It is meaningless, except for the purpose of usurping legitimate authority. My ancestors had the Biblical responsibility, according to Luke 22: 36, to bear arms long before “Big Brother” gave us the Second Amendment. If you are a Constitutionalist (or a prostitutionalist–whatever you want to call yourself for whoring after other gods), be ready to turn your guns in as soon as the Second Amendment slips away. As for me and my house, we’ll keep our fingers on the triggers.

This gets negative zero star rating. This is classic, NRA and Clinton calling for the same thing. This is why i ditched the NRA over fifteen years ago. Who the hell is the NRA to form policy? They are there to defend gun rights not be a voice on public policy. They are complete establishment hacks, I know no one likes to hear this, but the NRA is far from sacred and sold out its membership long long ago. Wake up, look at the bills they have supported. Another level of government wasted money over something that is no more a threat than lightning strikes.
Irma

It is an absolute MUST that the Democrats are reminded over and over again, loudly and clearly, what they themselves have said when they pretend to be so above the Conservatives. Their hatred of any and all NON-Democrats blinds them and keeps them from any rational thought.
T. Edward Price

This is one of many reasons not to support the NRA. If we must be burdened with government education, then a much more sensible approach would be to allow ANY teacher or school staff member to be armed. Having a federally subsidized police presence just furthers the exposure students have to the ever growing police state. Schools are virtual prisons already. This is just one more step in further conditioning children to be perfectly submissive to the state. Does it escape everyone’s notice that Wayne LaPierre is also advocating a national psychiatric database? This would include returning veterans who MIGHT be required to undergo a psychiatric evaluation as part of a typical debriefing. The NRA is part of the problem, not the solution. If you are truly concerned about your ability to maintain an armed presence in defense of self, family, community, and country, then check out Gun Owners of America (GOA). They are unwavering in their support of the God given RESPONSIBILITY to be armed

The more things change the more things remain the same.Solomon was right when he wrote that that there is nothing new under the sun
Richrd Hogue

Talk about closing the door after the horse escaped. But, I wouldn’t complain the least if we put armed people inside the school house. It will act as a deterent if mad people realize the odds of doing gunning down children will be very costly to them..personally.
How it happens I do not care; what it costs I do not care; who gets the praise and acculaids I do not care: just get it done.

The Sandy Hook Massacre

The Sandy Hook Massacre: When Seconds Count, the Police are Minutes Away:

"Doug Giles and his team over at ClashDaily.com cut through the crap to expose what have become modern day human slaughter houses: gun free zones. Their candid arguments about allowing teachers to protect themselves and the students in their care through concealed carry should be taken seriously. As a result maybe, just maybe, we’ll be able to save some lives someday rather than call the cops to report the body count." - Katie Pavlich. News Editor,Townhall.com and NYT's Best-selling Author, Fast and Furious: Barack Obama's Bloodiest Scandal and Its Shameless Cover-Up

"There were many lessons to draw from the horrific Newtown, CT school shooting. Unfortunately, most of the media and political Left came up with the wrong ones. But not Doug Giles and his writers over at ClashDaily.com. In the wake of this horror, they offered a robust defense of American citizens' right to bear arms and common sense answers to societal violence. The Sandy Hook Massacre: When Seconds Count, the Police are Minutes Away is a great resource for those interested in this vital, Constitutional issue." - S.E.
