grenade launchers in the first place? If they were offered in the first place why did they even take them? Why wouldn't it be something like, "Do you want some grenade launchers?" "No, thanks, we don't need grenade launchers. Or armored vehicles, for that matter." And while we're at it, why is there even a school district police force?
