If it doesn't affect them, what reason does anyone have to change?
If the accreditation they lost is anything like CALEA, I'd say thanks and move on. CALEA is a self licking ice cream cone that keeps fat ass retired chiefs (many if not most cut from the same cloth as Israel) in a big fat retirement check. In my 24 year career accreditation was probably the biggest waste of time and money I ever saw. Your dues check clears and you're in the club. It had ZERO impact on grants awarded, funding, operations, or building community rapport/trust. At no time during some of our highly controversial incidents (one had a movie made about it) did our detractors say "Hold off on the demonstrations and hell raising guys, the PD is accredited, we're wrong, it's all good". This isn't to defend the shortcomings of the BSO, but accreditation is bullshit and most cops will tell you that. Were I named chief of an agency that was CALEA accredited, its be the first thing I ditched and that money would go to actual needs.
As to not signing up for trading my life for other people's kids? Correctomundo, I did not. I signed up to go in and stop the threat, knowing that it may result in my death or serious injury, but a simple trade of me for the innocent? No. Counter to the mission. It was absolutely expected of me to run in and stop the murderous anti-social behavior of shitheads like this shooter and either take them into custody for trial or put them down. Their choice on that. Trade my life? Nope. Risk it to prevent your innocent kid's from being stolen from them? Yep. Every day all day. And I prepared for it religiously, on my own dime and expense mostly. And if it was going to happen, I wanted it to happen when I could get there and put the skills to use to mitigate the crime. Like others have said, not willing then don't apply. It's not about free coffee and half priced meals.
I wince when I read/hear folks say "no compulsion" or "I did not sign up for that"...
I know in GA the School resource officer job description and R&R outline protection of students and staff as primary responsibilities. And specifically mentions external threats.
Makes me think of a fireman saying they did not sign up to fight fires. Or those soldiers in the early 2000's who protested deployment, saying "they never expected to actually deploy to fight".
Likely Warren v. District of Columbia is the bet to make or risk being disappointed.

Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the President... - Theodore Roosevelt, Lincoln and Free Speech, Metropolitan Magazine, Volume 47, Number 6, May 1918.
Every Communist must grasp the truth. Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. Our principle is that the Party commands the gun, and the gun must never be allowed to command the Party Mao Zedong, 6 November, 1938 - speech to the Communist Patry of China's sixth Central Committee
Interesting evolution of this situation.
