Sounds like a bad idea. I would be opposed to this. They should only be wearing an uniform while on duty.

It's not just the uniform, it's also that he's using his privilege of carrying a firearm, bestowed upon him as an off-duty New York City police officer working as a security guard.

This right to keep and bear arms is denied to regular New York City citizens, and that denial of rights is enforced by officers of the New York City police department. The other victims were told "We're denying you your inalienable right and will instead offer you the option of paying one of our officers to (fail to) protect you."

The deaths of those civilian victims is on the shooter and those who denied the victims the right to keep and bear arms.
