STEVE ROGERS (FORMER FBI JOINT TERRORISM TASK FORCE): People should be flooding their state legislatures -- and particularly the state as well as Congress -- with demands to bring police officers into school. Look, there's not going to be a wild west in the schools. I was a cop for 38 years. I was in the schools every day. 

HARRIS FAULKNER (HOST): Yeah. So what is the fear there? That's what -- you'll hear from some people, “Well, it's going to be this way.”

ROGERS: Well, for some reason they fear that there's going to be untrained people in the schools with guns. There's just a lot of unnecessary -- “There's nothing to fear but fear itself,” as Roosevelt said. So what we need to do is to take the action necessary, and that action is get cops in our schools as a first step.
