More than a dozen school districts in Southeast Michigan have been offered two free months of service by armed and unarmed officers as part of a Michigan security company's initiative to keep students safe.
Flint-based DM Burr Group has launched Operation S.O.S, or Secure Our Schools, following the Feb. 14 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida that left 14 students and three staff members dead.
John Allen, the chief executive officer of DM Burr, said the company has already spoken to several districts in Genesee, Oakland and Livingston counties about the opportunity.

Will be interesting if there are any takers. More interesting will be the law suits against the school districts when they turn down the service and then something happens |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
