Loyola Professor Calls Cops on Student Because He’s Wearing His Police Officer Uniform

By Kyle Foley | 3:49 pm, December 9, 2016

Josh Collins, a sheriff’s sergeant in New Orleans, attends classes at Loyola University when he is not working. This week, one of his professors called the police on Collins himself — apparently because he showed up in class wearing his uniform, which freaked out one of the other students.

Collins addressed the incident in a Facebook post that has now been shared over 1,000 times. He starts by mentioning that “as a white male conservative, I have put up with a lot of prejudicial and biased comments directed towards me while attending Loyola University New Orleans.” He usually finds the comments funny, because “the ideals of a 18 year old ultra socialist frankly are funny.” But the latest incident made him sad, he said.

“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.” he wrote, “Obviously, being in full police uniform, I was armed.” He says that a “fellow classmate complained to the professor of their uncomfortableness of having an armed police officer in the class”—even though he has sat in the same class for six weeks, so the student would have known who he was.

His professor then called the police, but Collins says he was “not privileged to either of these conversations as they took place behind my back.” His professor then approached him and informed him that they had called the police, but the police never came because Collins was perfectly within the law.

Collins, who works in the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office, points out in his Facebook post that it is incredibly ironic that the reaction to being scared of a police officer is to call the police. He also writes that “as a police officer, I feel as though I must hide my profession in order to obtain a fair education.”

I thought the comedy section was six rungs down.

Ain't it a shame that these very same people would cast stones, bottles and insults at a line of police and then dial 911 when they are victimized by a lunatic thug who violates their safe space. Hypocrisy has no bearing on their psychosis.

The lunatics really have taken over the asylum.

Just reading about a white privileged gun-toting cop in a classroom makes me freak-out and uncomfortable so I'm calling the cops! I just need to hide my guns first. Idiots.

He is already going to be ph-uked by that professor, so he might as well get some mileage out of it and wear his gear to every single class now.

The fact that these people vote is bad enough, but the knowledge that they reproduce is downright terrifying.

Institutions of higher learning aren't.

How's this one:
I was invited, as the police, to a hospital to attend a lecture. I showed up and was asked to either leave my weapon in the car or conceal it because it made the SECURITY GUARDS nervous......

Most SWAT uniforms seem to be pretty well marked up with POLICE patches but a photo is not included.... LINK

Quote:
According to university representatives, Collins' was wearing standard SWAT fatigues, not a typical blue and black police uniform, and the student didn't know he was a police officer.

"A student in the class saw another student with a firearm, and during a class break said something to the teacher," an official statement from Loyola said. "The teacher contacted campus security to determine university policy. Campus security directed the teacher to confirm that the student with the firearm works in law enforcement. The teacher confirmed that the student worked in law enforcement and the class resumed at the end of the break."

According to Laura Kurzu, Loyola's VP for Marketing and Communications, all of this occurred during a 15 minute break in the class and was handled privately.

Just to add another angle:
One would think that with the recent on campus active shooter and mass casualty incidents that snowflake would appreciate the presence of the police in their classroom.

Perhaps there is a correlation between areas of the inner city that death visits frequently because of the slightest perceived insult, and on colleges where they shit in their pants for every micro aggression. Extremely sensitive, with completely opposite reactions.

Any amatuer physcologist have an idea? I got nothing

The little snowflake crybabies have to behave if a cop is in the room. He would be the first one to stand behind if an active shooter shows up.

Ya know a simple "thanks" goes a long way. (I didn't know what you do but, thanks for being here and I hope and pray you live a long and prosperous life.) That would do.

Ugh,

So wrong on so many levels. I work at a University in the midwest. The police department is a full service department. Whose hands are tied unless a student pretty much murders someone.
