School Asks Officer Not To Wear Uniform On Campus

MESA, Ariz. - He's not the type of armed man on campus you'd expect parents to be concerned about -- but apparently a police officer dropping off his daughter at school was just too scary for some parents in Mesa.

And the school principal actually called that officer to ask him not to wear his uniform on campus ever again.

The issue was that other parents were concerned because he had a gun.

The officer, who works for the Coolidge Police Department, is a parent of a kid that goes to Entz Elementary School in Mesa.

The request made by school officials to not wear his uniform and gun on campus shocked and upset a lot of people.

That is just about one of the dumbest ass things I have heard lately. You would think they'd be happy he was there.

What a real Libtard! This guy should be fired and ran out of the school system.

His entire department should show in uniform every time he picks up his daughter. Police state lol, hardly.

You don't need the Gestapo until you call them.

So they want First Responders to go home and change to civvies before responding??

Unbelievable!!

And even then, the Gestapo isn't exactly sure who they are going to kill....but SOMEONE is getting shot, even if it takes 90 rounds to get the job done....

They have a fear based in reality....it's likely they are thinking of the cop who responded to the call about some guy threatening college STUDENTS (read that again). When he gets to the scene, he finds a man waving a gun and using a college girl as a shield. Instead of waiting for backup, or trying to calm him down, he empties his weapon at them (them, as in bad guy AND innocent student). Shoots her in the head and kills her. But he got the bad guy and he was sorry about the girl. The girls parents were sorry, too. It USED to be that police would sacrifice their life for the safety of the community they serve. Now, they prefer to sacrifice YOUR life for THEIR safety.
