Woke Brooklyn College that banned campus cops from carrying guns - after official said she was 'triggered' by female officer with a Glock - is forced to call for help from OTHER schools during active shooter threat
• Brooklyn College's 'woke' president has barred campus police from carrying guns as part of a 'rebranding' of campus security
• On February 3, the school issued an 'active shooter' threat and at least 10 peace officers from four other institutions were called to respond to the shooting
• Meanwhile on-campus security were dispatched to collect their locked up guns from lockers
• The new edict raises questions of how the school can ensure the safety of students on campus in a city where gun crime has risen 30 percent year-on-year
• College President Michelle Anderson, a former Yale Law school professor, yanked the Glock-19 pistols from the Flatbush-Midwood campus in October
• The decision came after an unnamed official 'felt triggered' by the sight of female campus security carrying guns
• Shortly after Anderson's disarming edict was handed down, on October 21, there was a shooting just off campus in which four people were wounded
• Joseph Giacalone, a retired NYPD sergeant who is an adjunct professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, was flabbergasted by the decision
• Giacalone added that 'criminals are opportunists and if they know cops are not welcome on campus they will take advantage of it
Brooklyn College's woke president has banned campus police from carrying guns and during a recent active shooter threat the school was forced to call for help from other CUNY schools which still allow armed patrols.
Top administrator Michelle Anderson, formerly a Yale Law school professor who specialized in rape law, yanked the Glock-19 pistols from peace officers on the Flatbush-Midwood campus in early October last year after a school official said she was 'triggered' by the sight of a female campus security officer wearing a firearm.
'It is all somewhat ironic because this woman peace officer had been personally authorized to carry her Glock on school grounds by Anderson herself several years ago,' a source told DailyMail.com.
On February 3, the school issued an 'active shooter' threat and at least 10 peace officers from five other institutions were called to respond to the shooting while on-campus security were dispatched to collect their locked up guns from lockers.
While the threat was not acted on, the new edict raises questions of how the school can ensure the safety of students on campus in a city where gun crime has risen 30 percent year-on-year, according to the latest NYPD crime statistics released on Wednesday.
In Brooklyn south alone, where the college is located, gun crimes have risen a staggering 111.1 percent year-on-year.
