NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal has a bold idea for preventing shoot shootings, and liberals will hate it.
During an interview Tuesday with WABC’s “Curtis and Cosby,” O’Neal said additional funding to put police officers in every school would keep students much safer than banning guns.
As noted by the Independent Journal Review, the former NBA player said state and local law enforcement departments should be given additional funding to place officers at schools.
O’Neil, a Florida resident and part-time sheriff’s deputy, said departments could station officers at schools full-time to provide security.
“You put ’em in front of the schools, you put ’em behind the schools, you put ’em inside the schools, and we need to pass information,” O’Neal said.
He added: “I would like to see police officers in schools, inner cities, private schools.”

Explaining how he grew up on a military base, O’Neil said it was common for officers to be stationed at buildings to provide security.
His idea is simple: potential shooters will more than likely be deterred if they know armed police officers are present and can fight back.
As simple — and logical — as the idea is, liberals likely won’t consider it given many want to ban all assault firearms in America.
O’Neil’s comments were in response to the tragic shooting at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School last month.
Immediately after the shooting, Democrats and far-left groups have exploited the tragedy to promote their calls for banning semi-automatic guns.
O’Neal said banning guns isn’t the answer, but called for tougher background checks and a more proactive strategy to thwart a possible attacker.
“If you can’t protect our children in school, where are they safe?” he asked.
Many Americans agree with O’Neil that despite efforts from Obama-allied groups, eroding the Second Amendment is not the answer.
Armed police officers in every school across the country would play a big role in making a potential psychopath think twice before carrying out an attack.
Do you think having armed police officers at schools would prevent more school shootings?
