Even my public school was like a jail. We had metal detectors at the doors, police with mace and firearms patrolled the school, and we weren't allowed to have backpacks or heavy coats to help to try and cut down on concealed weaponry.
The police force is stacked and ready to cut people down if need be.

I can speak about the police in the city of Philadelphia, Pa. I used to live there for a year and half, they had a pretty bad rep and nicknamed "body-baggers", wait for the heat to calm and then asses the scene, but in philly the murder rate is especially high. Then again not all police are the same, some take their job to heart and actually go by the book, but you do t=have some who stray. But in a small town like the one i live in now, is peaceful only a few upsets a year.
