Empty Holster Protester Cited

VIDEO: Student wearing empty holster cited for 'threatening the safety of campus'

The Officer insisted "...the empty holster represented a potential safety hazard because it implied the existence of a firearm whose whereabouts he could not ascertain."

That's like citing someone for drunk driving because he has car keys on his belt..

 

[Roadie]

Imagine if he had drawn a gun on his jeans with chalk!

I wonder if they harass all the potential prostitutes and rapists on campus. I am guessing both of those are against a policy, and folks wear clothing/accessories that fit the crime fairly often.

Sorry, that is my sarcastic way of saying "this is ridiculous".

That probably would have been a direct violation.

The school’s website states that “all weapons are prohibited in University housing buildings, parking lots, and on University property” adding that “this includes, but is not limited to, bullets, ball bearing bullets, bullet balls, pellets, firearms, guns, knives, paintball guns, air guns, hunting bows, archery bows, swords, martial arts weapons, and replicas of such weapons. Toy and water guns are prohibited.”

They probably would have said a drawing is a replica.

Good god the world is getting stupid.

What if he had eaten a Pop-Tart in the shape of a gun!!! We are so screwed as a country.

Unless there's more to the student's actions, the Officer sounds like he could use some remedial trainig

Interesting. Pi**es me off, but interesting. I have often wondered how an empty holster would be viewed in different situations/locations.

I enter my sons preschool with an empty holster all the time against my will. I think an Indiana officer would laugh if some one complained, but you never know that officer might be pro- Hillary.

 

[Dean C.]

Well if that cop is as stupid as he sounds the gun could be lodged up his own ass and the dumb bastard would never know.

Ya THINK?!?!?!?

Methinks this jackwagon has been drinking the Campus Kool Aid the administrators have been serving the students.

The Officer insisted "...the empty holster represented a potential safety hazard because it implied the existence of a firearm whose whereabouts he could not ascertain.

One can also argue that the officer's empty skull represents a safety hazard because it implied the existence of a brain whose whereabouts he could not ascertain.

 

[VUPDblue]

I swear I don't understand the desire to create an offense where none exists. There's plenty of shenanigans out there to keep any Officer busy

 

[actaeon277]

What a meathead.

Oh no. An article of clothing.

I saw this earlier. To summarize the comment section from "libs" posters Watch video of South Alabama student cited by campus police for wearing empty holster | AL.com

He was disrespectful
He should be shot
He had an illegal knife
He had an illegal knife and his hand was in his pocket so he should be shot
Protesting is stupid
He was asking for it
There are other ways to protest
He's an attention whore
He's a ***** playing pretend military and should join the military (he's IN the military)

Rata Rata Rata liberals are violent when it comes to protestors. I thought they were all about protesting.

Its funny, because if they would just allow the guy to carry the gun in his holster, they'd know exactly the whereabouts of the gun.
