Campus police
Recently, a number of letters were published suggesting the use of campus police at DU and other public universities to stop campus violence. Some suggested the use of highly educated (master's degree holder) cops, since, according to them, it becomes an issue if a less educated cop takes actions against educated students! Wait a second, give me a break first of all, how could someone, in his right frame of mind, even think that a master's degree holder would pursue a career as a campus cop, and particularly in a place like DU, where, the so called (some, if not most) educated students have a history of beating up cops and vandalising public or private properties, whenever they feel their demands are not met. Don't you think it has become students' hobby to burn and destroy vehicles, buildings, or even beat up people (who don't agree with them)? I wonder how could some people think that an educated cop would be able to change this trend among the students. As a former student of DU, I saw many times how such fighting started on DU campus (some of which eventually led to death and destruction) and in most of those cases, things were always made worse by some 'so called' unruly people ( I was never sure if they were regular students), whose attitude could only be compared with creatures that you see either in the Discovery channel or in your city's zoo.
You cannot expect to control those groups of people just by using educated cops!
