In the wake of those shootings, an industry has emerged to try to protect schools — and business is booming. According to the market research firm Omdia, the school security industry is now worth as much as $4 billion, and it's projected to keep growing.

There was a shooting at my campus a few years ago and one of my classmates had a friend whom it was their 3rd school shooting they experienced. joker-amerikkklap amerikkka

Yea apparently he basically did the first time first-time thing and explained to everyone what was going to happen, which was that the cops were going to just bust the door down and run in pointing rifles and shouting.

Which eventually did happen even though they already shot the shooter. Cops also went around smashing the shit out of everything, for like no reason. They would need to smash a window to get into a door for example, but they would also just smash all the windows around it and also the drywall for some reason??? It took over a year for all the damage to be repaired lol

When I was a lot younger I used to watch USA films and think it was so exaggerated how the coppers behaved, I got older and realised it was accurate.

Yea except for doing super cool repelling from the roof scenes it was a cop breaking a window on the ground floor to open it up for the inside and climb in when the door was already unlocked and open, they would literally clear rooms multiple times and each time break another window to get in biggus-piggus

That's so funny. You know they went home thinking they were such badasses the way they cleared those corners and opened the doors too. In reality, they just semi-permanently trashed some kids' school. Absolute clown shit. che-smile

Hey, that's impressive. But I'll counter that with the one I got locked-down for which was a rare foil edition teacher-shoots-the-school.

Hell of an icebreaker answer.
