(student resource officers). The NRA is clearly calling for them to also be placed in elementary schools now. It may be a political move to lessen the misdirected heat being felt by them, but it's not a far-fetched response at all. Small children will become accustomed to being around a police officer, and it will instill a respect for law enforcement from a young age, which might hopefully carry into their older school years where that doesn't always exist. In the district I work in there is a negative view of on-campus police officers and they are seen not simply as the enemy, but the enemy that targets only certain ethnic groups.
