There’s No Need for College Campus Police to be Armed: IMI Systems Quote of the Day

Dan Zimmerman - comments No comments

“Officers who patrol dangerous neighborhoods, where people carry guns and use them in crimes, need to be armed themselves. But officers who patrol bucolic campuses where very little crime and even less violence occurs —campuses like SUNY Adirondack’s — don’t need the capacity to kill.” – Will Doolittle in Spending money on unnecessary weaponry [via poststar.com]

    • They don’t need firearms to write parking tickets, tow cars, and steal booze from the students. Citizens should be armed, not government employees.

      • “The bitter irony is that the proliferation of guns throughout American society has made us all less safe. Toddlers playing with their parents’ guns kill themselves or their siblings. Spouses kill each other in moments of rage. Fearful homeowners shoot people who are not intruders. Road rage degenerates into murder. People whose minds and souls are twisted obtain machines that allow them to kill scores of human beings in a matter of minutes, and they do it.” Why didn’t her article mention the people shot by the police in drug busts at the wrong address, SWAT operations that are result of phony 911 calls, people stopped for broken tail lights or going a little too fast, mentally ill people having a really bad day or the dogs shot because somebody just gets pissed off when they aren’t shown the proper deference.

  1. Looking into those eyes is like looking into a pair of black holes.

    Then again, when I was in school the cops did stupid stuff like steal electronics and leave their Glocks in the men’s room. Then our police chief had the balls to deny us our right to campus carry saying it would “send the wrong message” to the ghetto surrounding the campus, and deny dorm-dwellers the ability to check guns into the police stations for safe-keeping in clear violation of school policy.

      • Black sunken eyes, yellow teeth, I believe this man is evil, and is being rotted from the outside in 😲. Liberal I will sell students lives for money, and a chance to grandstand piece of garbage regardless.

  2. “It’s the need for the guns that matters. Are campus officers likely to encounter situations when they will need a gun?
    No, they’re not. It’s very unlikely.”
    But those few times where they may need them, they’re really going to want them. Just like any other person.
    By the way, is this guy’s name really Will Doolittle? Cause if so, that really answers a lot of questions one might have about him.

  3. Has anyone found this Bill of Needs these people keep referring to? Was it a memo posted in the break room? Maybe an email that got sent to my spam folder or something?

  4. Everyone feels it’s wrong and unconstitutional to search people but they want scumbags off the streets. Do the same people want the Ferguson effect in high crime areas?

  5. ““That was the information we were working off of,” he said.”

    So if we called 911 and told them that a Tyrannosaurus Rex was attacking a Unicorn at 1504 Smith St., how many people would end up getting shot at 1504 Smith St. because of that?

    The police need to get smarter. Period.

  6. Hi Joe,
    I had that EXACT same malfunction with my SIG SP2009 TWO times!!. Slide locked up tight and couldn’t get it open or closed. I could actually SEE the round almost chambered. I used a different method to get it unlocked. When I got home I made sure the magazine was removed, then went to my wood workbench and put the slide against the edge of the bench and pressed real had. POOF! unjammed. Did this each time when it happened. Not sure what ammo I was using, but I have a box of Winchester White Box and I will try it out.

  7. I’m a local to Wichita, KS where this happened. Local news said someone in LA has been arrested in relation to the case. Pretty messed up. And my brothers wonder why I don’t participate in group chats on online games.

  8. Legalization on a federal level is an inevitability, though it will take a few more decades. Eventually people of my generation and younger will be the primary demographic of Congress.

    Congress as of now, due to increased life spans, largely consists of men born way back in nineteen-clickety-two whose obsolete mindsets absolutely will not accept anything other than Refer Madness propaganda. They’re old, but not immortal, so they will eventually finally age out of leadership and let fresh ideas in.

    Also, if enough states legalize it, maybe the feds will realize they cannot afford to enforce prohibition without the help of state and local law enforcement and will finally give up.

    I’m not a weed guy myself, but I see the prohibition of it as creating way more problems than it solves. The safety concerns and environmental damage created by illegal grows (which are typically major cartel operations) are absolutely horrifying. Legalize it, regulate the fuck out of how it’s grown and sold, and in so doing make it safer to go hunting on public land in Northern California.

  9. A prison guard talking about freedom defines irony. I bet he still treats people locked up for gun crimes (like having a semi auto and a 30rd magazine in his state) the same way he treats killers and rapist.

  10. Too god damn many to list off the top of my head. The most recent addition to the family is a folding brace MPX, and I should be getting 10 gen 1 magazines, made by Lancer, in the mail today or after the New Year festivities. The Gen 1s were on closeout for $19.95 a pop at gunmagwarehouse, so I said “eff it, I’ll stock up”.

    Otherwise I generally go with Mec-Gar where possible as, more often than not, they’re the OEM manufacturer for them anyway. I like to have at least 5 magazines per gun.

  11. From what I’ve read he IS NOT A GAMER, had no involvement in the game .
    He was asked by one of the gamers to swat the other player .

    • That just doesn’t ring true. If your bud calls you up and says that some dude on a video game dissed him, “call up the Wichita PD and SWAT him for me”, would you do it or tell him to f*** off?

  12. Most people can’t even use them …plus this guy (SEE LINK) can shoot just as fast and much more accurate!

    Let them know Congress writes and rewrites laws and the 1934 NFA is illegal as hell!!

    #ShallNotBeInfringed is clear…… is does not say we can ban any arm or gun we want!!

    The 2nd amendment is a declaration and a WARNING TO GOVERNMENT!!! HANDS OFF or face the hangman’s noose or HOT TAR AND FEATHERS AND TREASON OR BOTH!!

    Bumpfire stocks do not meet the definition that they RAMMED DOWN OUR THROATS ILLEGALLY as a machine-guns end of story! No do overs!

    LETS MAKE THEM QUAKE IN THEIR JACK BOOTS ….SO THEY DON’T EVER TRY THIS AGAIN ..ARE WE WILL MARCH ON WASHINGTON!!

  13. Why dont states with actually gun rights suspend all business with New Jersey. I live in CA, so I’ve no doubt my governor would support new jersey 100% if he could.

    But Florida, montana, utah, etc etc etc….They simply announce a full divestiture in Gun rights hell holes.

  14. having been .Mil and LE I don’t understand the lack of accountability. If I fucked up in the .MIL I knew my ass was grass and I would get absolutely reamed, at best. LE side is backwards. You know its absolutely fvcked when I’m more likely to get jail time for improper use of force while making war and killing a foreign civ than I am killing a US citizen with improper or uncalled for force. If popo wanna play solider then they need to enlist or suck it up and accept some form of UCMJ type extra regulation/law. Be given the tools and training to fight wars or police fellow citizens should come with MORE responsibility, not less.

    Hell that LT that killed those “unarmed” Talib spotters on a motorbike got the slammer but this guy and the one from the hotel shooting probably won’t. The swatter and swat guy both need charges.

  15. Comes Midnight, I’ll pop off a few caps, or a whole magazine’s worth, just to keep the handgun exercised. Of course, living in what would be considered Rural America one always hears gunfire off in the hills, year ’round, but especially at New Year’s Eve.

    Worried where the round will go? Well, that’s what the dirt in the back yard is for.

    Aim down, not up.

  16. A pepto pink 1911 with a skull on it? That owner should have gone to jail before he ever fired a shot.

    We really need fashion police in this country.

  17. (#2) I read where the man was on his hands and knees crawling when he was shot. Begging for his life. True or not? If true then he was murdered by a punk cop, never mind what was inscribed on the firearm.
