Last week this story broke of a student at Loyola and a professor where scared when a police officer entered the classroom in full uniform including a gun on his hip......they called the cops on him
Link to original story
Well this week here is is Loyola's explanation:
Explanation

Link to original story
quote:
Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office Sergeant Josh Collins is attending college at Loyola University New Orleans. He normally goes to class in civilian clothes. However, he did not have time to change out of his uniform and he still had his sidearm.
When he showed up in class in his uniform and sidearm, the snowflakes at Loyola got scared. One student complained to the professor about the armed police officer. The professor then called the police. That’s right, they called the police, who presumably wear uniforms and carry sidearms, because they were afraid of an armed police officer wearing his uniform and carrying his sidearm.
The police officer who answered the phone told the professor that Collins was well within his rights to both wear his uniform and his sidearm. The police never came to the classroom.
Well this week here is is Loyola's explanation:
Explanation
quote:
“Loyola University New Orleans unequivocally supports police officers and the courageous women and men of our nation’s armed forces. These men and women protect us all, and they protect our Constitutional rights. We are without question grateful for their service. And we are proud to have them on our campus.” the statement began.
Then here’s what Loyola said happened, “A student in the class saw another student with a firearm, and during a class break said something to the professor. The professor contacted campus security to clarify university policy. Campus security directed the professor to confirm that the student with the firearm works in law enforcement. The professor confirmed that the student worked in law enforcement and the class resumed at the end of the break.”
Loyola describes the “misunderstanding” as the result of the officer in question wearing his SWAT fatigues instead of traditional police uniform. But even if he was wearing his fatigues, they will have patches showing that he is a part of a law enforcement agency.

I hate the concept of gun-free zones, but the law says if he's off duty he's not allowed to have his firearm in a gun-free zone.

Honestly, if this is actually what happened with no hub-bub, I have no problem with any of this.

But today made me sad for the youth and the college I have attended for 8 years. Given how busy we have been this past week, including today, I showed up to class late and was still in full uniform because I didn't have time to change. Obviously, being in full police uniform, I was armed. This is the first time after having six previous classes that anyone became aware of my profession. Shortly after my arrival, a fellow classmate complained to the professor of their uncomfortableness of having an armed police officer in the class. Mind you, I have sat in the same class for the last six weeks in civilian clothing. My professor then called the police. Of course I was not privileged to either of these conversations as they took place behind my back. My professor then pulled me out of class and told me that he had called the police based on the student complaint The police obviously never came and told him over the phone that I was perfectly within the law.
So... he has taken just 6 classes over 8 years. Nobody in any of those classes knew he was a cop. He was in a SWAT outfit that looks like it could be purchased at a surplus store. He showed up late to class so he didn't have time to inform the teacher that he is a cop. The teacher pulled him aside to privately let him know what was happening. He doesn't even know what the student said to the teacher or what the teacher said to whoever he called. The teacher told him the cops said he was ok to have a gun.
The cop sounds like a fricking moron with insanely thin skin.

When this story first broke, it made it sound like the guy got off work late, and walk into class late, wearing his patrol uniform and sidearm. It was made to sound like his classmates and instructor all felt "unsafe" because of his presence, which is pretty fricking ridiculous.
However, it later came out that he was wearing some type of SWAT gear and his sidearm. This is a little bit different. If you just see this guy walking down the hall, it's not entirely out of the realm of possibilities that he may be there to clean house. I don't specifically know what he was wearing, aside from "a fatigue like uniform", but I can kind of understand that someone who didn't know him might get alarmed. Especially a dumbfrick Loyola student.

I'm guessing he's in night school and the class meets once a week. Probably his sixth class in this session.

I'm assuming he means he's been in this particular class 6 times this year with the same professor and students.

Which would mean that the other students in the class are even less likely to know him very well or have any idea that he is a cop. Especially since he flat out says nobody knew he was one before this non event.
I'm not really seeing why this guy is so bent out of shape. Nothing happened to him. His rights weren't infringed upon. He didn't get booted from class. Nobody was screaming or running away. Nobody even knew who he was so I don't know why he thinks they should have automatically assumed he was a cop.
If anyone is a snowflake in this situation it's him.

If I'm in that class and don't know he's law enforcement or military and actually even a tiny bit concerned about his intentions, I'm making my exit long before break time.
