Or maybe not everyone who practices them drinks deeply from the ethical well most of the Asian ones have. Now, Russian systema, Israeli krav maga, and some of the western ones probably don't have much of an ethical well to start with.

That's funny, but a really effective "friendly" response person wouldn't even be known to the students until/unless he/she is actually needed. Most schools will have a teacher or two who are armed forces veterans competent to use firearms, though they should have some police training as well. The uniformed security guard standing at the door of the school would just be the first one to be shot. He/she would be blindsided.
