We're playing Russian Roulette with our kids' safety

The leadership is all about gun references in their upset over the implications of Sheriff Houston revoking the commissions of the officers in their Praetorian Guard.

• APS Supt Winston Brooks said, "We're playing Russian Roulette with children's safety."
• Board Member David Robbins said he's upset about Houston's "gun to the head" negotiating style.
• Board Member Marty Esquivel warned, "We're headed toward a shoot out at the OK corral."
• Chief Steve Tellez added to the attempt to whip up some hysteria by claiming "the schools will be in chaos" if only sheriff's deputies and APD are there to defend them.

In retrospect, arming them seems a little less prudent.
