Chris Christie on more police in schools:

“In general I don’t think that the solution to safety in schools is putting an armed guard because for it to be really effective in my view, from a law enforcement perspective, you have to have an armed guard at every classroom,” he said during an event in Newark Friday morning. “Because if you just have an armed guard at the front door then what if this guy had gone around to the side door? There’s many doors in and out of schools.”

And he said he doesn’t like the idea of having multiple armed guards inside schools. “I don’t necessarily think having an armed guard outside every classroom is conducive to a positive learning environment,” he said.

Christie gets it. Just a guy at the front door wont stop the next attack. Most schools have multiple entrances. Heck, some schools have a campus environment - not a single building. A single person can’t defend the entire campus.
