Just to be clear, you're not trying to spin it into some 'arm the teachers' rants like you did last time when you didn't know exactly what a HS Resource Officer is?If so, kudos, you've learned for once.
If a teacher has training and all the proper stuff I'm in favor of arming them if they choose.
But no, I'm just more curious to see how our media will handle this.
Though it's kinda like being curious if you'll burn your hand if you stick it into a campfire, no? I mean, you know what is going to happen.

Probably like the last time a HS Resource Officer (ie school cop) did their job correctly, with praise. But you go on with your fantasies.

I don't know what you're talking about.
Back in March there was as school shooting in Maryland where the HS Resource Officer (ie a school cop) shot and stopped the shooter.
There was spins of "good guy with a gun" and whatnot from the usual suspects, when that person was law enforcement correctly doing their duty. On point, the media praised the officer in doing his job.
A 15 year old was shot in an upscale neighborhood earlier this year. Nobody knows how or why, as there was only one other kid there, and no adults.
Another kid, eight, was shot within the last day or two.
In the first case, you have crisis counselor's, and three officials making statements to the general public.
In the other, you have a neighbor say "This is starting earlier then usual. It's the neighborhood."
Not sure what my point is, accept maybe that there's something wrong in how shootings are treated based on community.

Never give a teacher a gun. You should at the bare minimum make it legal to slap yo kids shit in before you start arming miserable spinsters and impotent balding men.
Actually this reminds me of something:
Did Lax Obama-Era School-Discipline Policies Enable the Parkland Shooter?
"Yesterday Paul Sperry of RealClearInvestigations published a comprehensive report that reached an explosive conclusion:
Despite committing a string of arrestable offenses on campus before the Florida school shooting, Nikolas Cruz was able to escape the attention of law enforcement, pass a background check and purchase the weapon he used to slaughter three staff members and 14 fellow students because of Obama administration efforts to make school discipline more lenient.
Overstatement? Perhaps, but it contains an important element of truth. In 2013, the Broward County school board entered into an agreement with multiple law-enforcement agencies — including the Broward County sheriff — designed to limit the number of on-campus arrests.
Obama education secretary Arne Duncan even highlighted Broward County’s efforts to reduce out-of-school suspensions and try alternative forms of discipline. Broward County was reportedly “one of 53 major school districts” to adopt Obama-administration guidelines designed in part to limit law-enforcement involvement in school discipline.
Sperry quoted Peter Kirsanow, a conservative member of the Commission on Civil Rights:
Broward County adopted a lenient disciplinary policy similar to those adopted by many other districts under pressure from the Obama administration to reduce racial “disparities” in suspensions and expulsions. . . . In many of these districts, the drive to “get our numbers right” has produced disastrous results, with startling increases in both the number and severity of disciplinary offenses, including assaults and beatings of teachers and students.
Sperry also wrote a comprehensive essay for the New York Post in December outlining how lax discipline policies where enabling a wave of violence against teachers and students. He detailed incidents across the country, including mass resignations of teachers after escalating assaults.
In local news reports at least one former Broward school-resource officer has spoken bluntly about the pressure not to arrest students and said that the number of resource officers was cut in half."
And there is more to it:
"As Sperry relates, lax discipline meant that the Parkland shooter not only had no criminal record when he purchased his rifle, he didn’t even have the arrest record that may well have spurred additional inquiry when people did report their concerns to the FBI. Recall, he was disciplined for fighting, for assault, and for bringing bullets to school.
The upshot was that the lack of an arrest record made it difficult for police to confirm that Cruz was a proven threat and to intervene when they received call-in tips and complaints from neighbors, classmates and relatives about his stockpiling of weapons and desire to kill people, law enforcement officials say."

So why didn't I hear or read about this? Seems the righty-whiteys would have made this a big deal, right? I don't live under a rock.

Lol, I think you know why you didn't hear about it...cuz it goes against their narrative. Rob is right, they did mention it and praise it. But not that much.
You remember that shooting in Texas at the church? The guy who showed up with a gun(I think an AR-15) did save some lives. We didn't see him on tv that much.
Notice I say "didn't see him that much". There were a few things:
Inside the Texas church, she thought it was her turn to die. Then outside, a man appeared.
He's a hero. Just not the right kind of hero for them. And the dude wasn't even at the church when the shooting began. He heard the shots, grabbed his gun, and ran there from his house.
