Sure, but we have to start somewhere. If we get to the point where people are arming up and attacking uniformed police officers in spots like this, we can change the behavior.

Well that's true, but it's not necessary to arm everyone. Just allow citizens that don't have violent histories to carry guns and it's less likely someone will attack in places where people are likely armed.
A school doesn't need to be a gun-free zone, but again, public areas can be patrolled by law enforcement.
