Black Students Occupy Building, Demand Campus Police Disarm
Daily Caller ^ | April 2, 2018 | Rob Shimshock

Howard University students entered their fourth day of a protest Monday in which they occupied an administrative building and demanded campus police disarm.

[Snip]

"We demand the immediate disarming of campus police officers and the formation of a Police Oversight Committee controlled by students, faculty, staff, and off-campus community representatives," The Concerned Students of HU Resist wrote in a letter that has been shared over 2,500 times on Twitter.

The students want the committee to have authority over complaints filed against Howard University police officers, as well as the ability to review and advise the department's policies.

Howard is a bit unusual. It’s a private university....I think tuition runs around $24,000 a year...so it’s not cheap. The black kids who do attend, are products of successful black parents (in terms of business or commerce). It’s in the north sector of DC...between the safe Georgetown area and the crime-infested east-side (right in the middle).

My gut feeling is that if this group is successful and removes the cops as some authority...parents will wake up and remove their kids from the university because they don’t feel it’s safe. So what these kids are doing, without thinking much over it....is making the college smaller in terms of population.

Campus police are sometimes State Troopers.

how stupid, so they want more rape and stealing and etc without anyone around to be able to protect them in any of these unlawful emergencies. these kids need to be in elementary scholl where you learn to value the police and security - they surely are not at university level of common sense.

Give the cops wiffle bats, and give the sensitive little snowflake students F.A.I.L. (Feelings About Imminent Lawbreaking) slips.

Nobody on this thread sees the humor in all this.

This all started because somebody leaked the fact that the university president had fired six students last September for embezzling a million dollars from the financial aid office, where they had work-study jobs. He apparently didn’t tell the cops or anyone else, and no one knows if they got the money back. The students were mad about that and about the poor physical plant maintenance which has caused several buildings to be closed.

After the protest at the president’s office started, all these other demands started, and there’s no end in sight as far as new, completely unrelated, demands go.

I won’t be surprised if the students end up burning down the campus on the anniversary of MLK’s murder.

I say we allow all 5 million South African Boers to come over here, while offering to pay the way for America’s five million angriest, most resentful, and/or most violent Black folks to move to S.A., where they can live in racial harmony. We can start with these violent protesters.

Win-win.

...and it’ll be a replay of Mizzou. Enrollment will drop, dorms will close, profs laid off, further enrollment drops.

Then, as soon as an outside thug murders a kid, they’ll all be screaming “Why aren’t we protected here?”

his job consisted of bringing the whacked out students over to Mclean psych hospital. Harvard bought the hospital so they could hide the whacked out rich kids from the public eye

Well, since liberalism is a mental disorder...that place must be filled to the brim.
