A Staten Island school committee’s call to hire gun-toting retired cops to guard schools drew fire yesterday from a city lawmaker, who mockingly suggested hiring “retired vets with AK’s and rocket launchers.”
Councilman Jumaane Williams (DBrooklyn) yesterday took aim at the school panel, Communication Education Council for District 31, which voted Monday night to have armed retired cops patrolling schools in the wake of the Newtown, Conn., massacre.
“CEC31 in SI voted 4 armed guards in school,” Williams tweeted. “Such an intelligent vote. Y stop there, I prefer retired vets with AK’s and rocket launchers.”
City Hall says it will not implement the plan.
