Let the campus go... let raping, looting begin. The stupid millennials deserve to be raped/looted as a reward for that stupidity.

I sincerely don’t see why a University policeman (basically a rent-a-cop on a school campus) even needs a firearm. If things get beyond taser level, they call in the real police anyway.

A better solution would be to close down Portland State, then sell or demolish the buildings.

Portland State is an incubator for many of the Antifa babies that frequent the downtown Portland riot/protest crowd.

Public university police are usually fully-sworn police officers with all the trimmings - high salaries, arrest powers on and off campus, concealed carry and arrest prerogative off duty, 911 dispatch, etc.

Bigger and higher-crime campuses will have brass paid into the six figures, detectives, and at least some specialty cross-training (CSI, SWAT, etc.) if not dedicated units.

“I sincerely don’t see why a University policeman (basically a rent-a-cop on a school campus) even needs a firearm. If things get beyond taser level, they call in the real police anyway.”

The University (of Florida) Police Department is organized as a department of 92 sworn law enforcement officers and 49 civilian employees under the auspices of the Office of the Vice President for Business Affairs.

All officers are professionally trained and state of Florida certified, with the same authority and right to bear arms as any officer within the state of Florida. By law, university police officers are declared to be law enforcement officers of the state and conservators of the peace with the right to arrest in accordance with the laws of this state, any person for violation of state law or applicable county or city ordinances when such violations occur on any property or facilities which are under the guidance, supervision, regulations of control of the State University System, except that arrests may be made off campus when pursuit originates on campus.

“Let the campus go... let raping, looting begin.”

The university I went to was surrounded by the hood in 3 directions. When I was a freshman in 1980 the rapes were so bad the dorms had male students voluntarily walk the the girls at night to their destination. I did it out of my chilvary sense of duty lol

This makes more sense than disarming police:

WOMAN: We don't have a lord.
ARTHUR: What?
DENNIS: I told you. We're an anarcho-syndicalist commune. We take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week,...
ARTHUR: Yes.
DENNIS: ...but all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting...
ARTHUR: Yes, I see.
DENNIS: ...by a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs,...
ARTHUR: Be quiet!
DENNIS: ...but by a two-thirds majority in the case of more major--
ARTHUR: Be quiet! I order you to be quiet!
WOMAN: Order, eh? Who does he think he is? Heh.
ARTHUR: I am your king!
WOMAN: Well, I didn't vote for you.

When the left gets their own Gestapo-like political police force, you can bet the leftists will want them to be heavily armed and they will cheer every time they shoot a dissident.

Not a good idea as the riffraff would just spread to other communities and start the process over.

Many campuses are the equivalent of densely populated cities with tens of thousands of residents in areas that might be 20 square miles. Sometimes the campus population exceeds that of the surrounding county. It is not fair to require the residents of the surrounding community to be responsible when these universities have the resources to pay for their own security.

The fact that officers at PSU are quitting rather than go unarmed proves that our police carry guns to protect themselves and not the public. If I were a PSU cop, it would quit also and take my gun with me to greener pastures.
