^^^ well there you go. a baton, spray, and cuffs for the drunk frat/sorority folks, and yellow tape for the rest.
They aren't stupid - they're naive. There's a very distinct difference.Golden Hound said:Why is it that the stupidest people in the universe are so often affiliated with the academic world?
abrink,
Would you rather have a special protected class that can do things we the people cannot? What I am advocating is that the law be applied equally. Now, if you want to equate me to a liberal gun grabber without knowing anything about what I have done for the RKBA, that is your call, newbie who as far as I know has done nothing other than type on a message board.
The department consists of 62 professional police and security officers and other team members dedicated to providing first-class service to the community. Officers patrol the campus on foot, by bicycle, and in vehicles. Several officers and a supervisor are on duty 24 hours a day. The Communications Center is staffed with trained and certified communications officers who answer calls for service, dispatch officers and other emergency services to incidents, and monitor intrusion detection and fire alarms. University uniformed Public Safety Officers, and Police Officers, who are not in uniform, are primarily responsible for building security and enforcement of parking and traffic regulations. The non-uniformed Police Officers, and the shift supervision, Sergeants and Lieutenants, that are in uniform, have the authority of commissioned police officers with full power of arrest under N.J.S.A. 18A:6-4.5 and are required to complete a rigorous basic police officer training program. In addition, specialized advanced training continues throughout their careers. The campus falls under the jurisdiction of several police agencies whose services the Department of Public Safety supplements, rather than replaces. The Department of Public Safety maintains a close working relationship with those agencies. Local police agencies provide information to the Department of Public Safety on matters of criminal activity at off-campus recognized student activities. Crime statistics are compiled by coordination with these local police agencies and by an electronic record keeping system dedicated to the department.
Issue them a couple ink pens and lots of paper. If there is ever a VT style active shooter, they will have a lot of report writing to do once the bad guy runs out of ammo.Not much to write if you didn't see anything. If my employer disarmed me in that situation, I'd be as far away as possible. No disrespect meant the disarmed guards but I wouldn't stick around to be a helpless target.
Makes as much sense as requiring someone with no car or driver's license to carry auto insurance..
Why no, that's a deadly weapon also. Remember Rodney King and Malice Green.Would they prefer them to carry a flashlight to "shine something down."
That's some insanity Princeton has talked themselves into. They give the officers batons, OC, handcuffs and protective vests.. then turn around and say that there's no reason for them to have a gun? Well then what are the batons, OC, handcuffs and vests for?
Public Safety officers currently carry batons, handcuffs and a substance similar to pepper spray. They also wear bulletproof vests.

Cliatt said the Princeton believes it is fully compliant with all OSHA regulations and that arming Public Safety officers could harm the relationship between students and officers.
Hardly necessary I think, because Princeton is a self-appointed Gun Free Zone.
