SAD day in the USA when a LIBRARY needs a police officer.
Gotta keep it safe for drag queen story hour
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.
Well, as long as they’re not like Stephen King’s Library Policeman.
“SAD day in the USA when a LIBRARY needs a police officer.”
What’s not surprising is a cop at the ANACOSTIA library. The surprising thing is that there is a library there at all.
Since this was a baton training session, and the shooter is an experienced cop, I’d have to think that he was teaching her how to disarm a gun threat with a baton and forgot to unload his pistol.
Or she suddenly went ape-s**t with the baton, and he had to defend himself, but that seems less likely.
