Police in every school? $19.8 billion a year please!

The NRA's suggestion is stupid for a number of reasons, but here is the one to shut down conservatives:

There are roughly 99,000 public schools in America

Figure at least four officers per school at $50,000 per officer per year:

(4 x $50,000) x 99000 = $19,800,000,000

of those suggesting such a change. To those suggesting it, of course.

Fuck the police state. Fuck the fear-mongering profiteers using the death of children for personal gain.

Their latest talking point is to have the teachers' union pay for this!!! I was listening to local radio (liberal host) and they were calling in one after another declaring this!

Oh, wonderful.

Let's just bankrupt the Teachers' Unions. Then, everything will be just like Christmas.
