To me this is a side effect of people getting trained to see crime, terrorism and evil deeds everywhere.
It was always a joke that you will be arrested for going for a walk in the land of the free. Until it isn't just a joke anymore.
Sure, there certainly are bad neighborhoods, but to me the focus on security has everyone getting crazy. A lot of countries don't need armed guards at school.
Cops see a lot of crime and have a lot of contact to criminals. I can understand why they would have such a perspective. But everyone else involved should have done a thorough sanity check. And in my opinion they should get some audit if they are in any way able to discern if there is any real danger or not. That is the minimal requirement for their jobs.
