I think the kid is just your typical college hippy. Just an idiot overall.
Or some crazy white supremacist type from Columbia, South Carolina carrying his 1911 and a Tacti-cool AR style rifle over the bodies of dead minority students and people who believe in diversity.

"and people who believe in diversity?"
What on earth does that underhanded comment have to do with anything?

Unless the person with the knife or gun the writer speaks of has put that item under HIS chin, it doesn't bother him. Should that scenario happen with a police officer in the room, I do believe that our future journalist would be glad to see the officer's gun being used to save his neck.
I'm sure he doesn't understand calibers either, due to the assumption that the officer was using the same ammo as the imaginary gunman. Can you imagine a BG telling everyone in the room to just hold on while he strips the cop's ammo out of his gun and then loading it into his own? Most BGs who are as dumb as a box of rocks know that if you can gain access to the cop's gun, you use it.
But then I guess that shows the intelligence level that we are dealing with here, doesn't it?

Not to second guess or play psychologist but I think the young fellow is having a sexual identity/inadequacy crisis of some sort. He may also be 'experimenting' with behaviors and substances that cause irrational fears.
He is afraid of the policeman and his uniform and gun, scared of some imagined 'other' that the officer might have a gun battle with, and appears to see the 'classroom' as some sort of sacred or ritual chamber where outside reality and occupational trappings must never enter.
In short he thinks that by adopting this worldview that he might stand a better chance of getting lucky with some vegan hippie chick this weekend. He hasn't figured it out yet--she's already dating the cop.

All I'll say is this.
I was OFF-CAMPUS at a school-related event (Law Fair - where all the nation's top law-schools bring representatives).
I was just helping out giving out flyers and making people were "on the list". I'm involved in a lot of things, so I donate much of my time.
I brought a small assisted-opening folder knife with me because I remember in the past I had to open a lot of boxes. It was a little Buck Rush.
When I took out the folder to start opening boxes, the director of recruiting for my law school saw me and freaked.
She said, "Is that a switch-blade?"
Me: Um.... no?
Her: Is that a bowie knife?
Me: um..... wouldn't that be at least 8 times the size of this? so... no?
Her: Why did you bring that?
Me: Oh... I'm sorry - I should use my fingernails all day to open boxes.... how stupid of me..
She scoffed and walked away.
Rude schmuck.

Detective in class
A few years ago, a Detroit police detective enrolled in one of my classes. Before the first meeting, he asked if it was permissible for him to take off his suit jacket in class. Of course I said yes, then I asked why he even bothered asking. He showed me his departmental ID and opened his jacket to reveal his gun which would be exposed if the jacket was off. I still saw no problem since I had had several uniformed LEOs in class without the other students showing concern. He said that people reacted better to those in uniforms with guns than to those in plain clothes.
He was right. For the full term, the other students in the class carefully avoided looking at him directly. They seemed to think that looking at him would attract unwanted "police attention." For my part, I could hardly keep from laughing out loud when I saw his classmates steal glances then immediately look away.
