    I'm an American, and I've never heard of this. I think it might mostly be a joke at the expense of the shithole officers of Uvalde.

    They are often called "resource officers" and there was at least one in every public school I went to (east coast).

    I think less than 193 tbh... In Latvia, a Social Democrat party has proposed surveillance cameras and pigs in schools. I'm pretty sure in other countries there has been talk as well

    Exactly that. They use police to protect capital's interests just like the other countries. So they need to expand police powers. Just look at Weimar Germany for historical examples.

    Like the socialist Nazi party throwing a world war with a side of genocide.

    Or you found the person using the example of the Nazi party being socialists in name only to highlight the ridiculousness of the comment I replied to.

    My country had police officers in all schools for a month or so after the First Ever School Shooting In The Entire Country happened, but only because parents demanded it.

    This was only a bit ago actually.

    I think most countries will eventually go through one. For the UK it was Dunblane, after which the government went "no more handguns then?" and we all went "yeah, I suppose", because only a handful of people kept them anyway.
