An "emergency services officer"...aka another power hungry rent a cop. His name tag doesn't say "Zimmerman" does it?

Liberty University has its own police force. Emergency services officers are sworn police officers. Reports on campus are that the student had a sledgehammer and accosted the officer. Other reports from students stated the suspect had a history of mental illness. Rumors are flying of course. It is too early to say with certainty but the previous poster is obviously misinformed.
