And not at the f-ing library!
“Book em, Dano!”
I had no idea the police did gun training at the library!
The idea of a library cop was silly back in the 1991 Seinfeld episode.
Is there any agency or administration or building in Washington, D.C., that doesn’t have its own police department?
It’s a bit of a side note, but on the TV show ‘Pawn Stars’ people often come in to sell guns. No one ever bothers to clear those guns. They just wave them around while yapping away.
I know the show is probably scripted from the get-go. But they sure missed a great opportunity to educate folks about firearm safety.
That’s also gun safety 101, along with the other 3 rules. None of which this guy followed.
The deceased.
It was open 24/7 for that reason. This was, I think, mid 1970s just about when liberals were closing down all the mental institutions and sending hordes of homeless into the streets.
Long story short, the same libtard courts ruled that you couldn't keep the homeless from haunting the public libraries because it was a public institution and they were part of the public.
So the library inconvenienced all the college kids by closing early in the evenings so they could boot out the winos and derelicts in the process. Of course, most of them were back the next morning so the entire purpose of public libraries were defeated as they became hangouts for the crazy street people.
My cousin changed jobs shortly thereafter because she hadn't signed up to be a nanny for street people.
“If the officer wanted to do this type of demonstration he should have first removed the magazine and cleared the chamber. “
Uh, no. Never perform Quick Draw McGraw in a public place using a real weapon. I don’t care how many times you “clear” the weapon.
“I had no idea the police did gun training at the library!”
It wasn’t gun training.

READ THE * ARTICLE
Per the NHTSA Office of Odometer Fraud Investigation:
“Office investigations resulted in more than 250 criminal convictions in more than 30 states. Prison sentences ranged from one month to 10 years, criminal fines totaled more than $2.8 million, and court-ordered restitutions totaled more than $15 million.”
The Office of Odometer Fraud Investigation employs over 58,000 people and has an annual budget of $72 billion. That’s sure worth it.
I know a gal who works at a city public library near me. Her main complaint is not about the bums and winos. It’s about the moms who drop their kids off on weekend mornings, then disappear to who knows where.
So it becomes less of a library, and more of a free day care center.
I did read the article. And I heard the story on the radio this morning. I am fully aware that there is a DC Public Library Special Police.
My question was largely rhetorical and not related specifically to the library police, but to federal law enforcement generally, and the article doesn’t address that at all. I don’t know why that makes you so upset that you’d use an asterisk.
Well, as long as they’re not like Stephen King’s Library Policeman.
Back in the day, the Multnomah County (OR) main library used to keep its stacks open to the public, and they had plenty of comfortable chairs, too. I spent many hours there (I was poor and it was free), until sometime in the 80s the bums took over. They’d pass out in the chairs and use the stacks for a toilet, and the library wasn’t allowed to keep them out. I quit using that library even before I moved out of the state.
My daughter lives in a nice neighborhood in a Utah town which has a library that is very kid friendly. Of course, adults are expected to look after them and not the library staff. In our many visits there, don't think I've ever encountered a wino or street crazy.
I went through weapons training for 25 years for my job. How quickly a pistol could be drawn was never a part of the program.
