It is video's and stories like this one at the University of Florida, that really makes the arming of our public safety officers scare me.

"Training and arming officers will cost around $100,000, Executive Vice President of Campus Operations Peter French said. "

We could bring another president to the University for that much!!! This decision seems very reactionary and not incredibly well thought out. Oh well.

nuff said. Don't trust campus police. They're just egomaniacal pigs hell bent on torturing students because they are not bright enough to be able to beat innocent blacks with the LAPD. For shame.

Seriously? What happened to the Justice's moderation policy? Basically you have comments saying that all cops are bad. Do you actually know any of the Brandeis Cops? Some of the are very nice, caring people. Yes some of them are jerks but having an anonymous post saying they are all dumb racists ... well I expected better of the Justice.

Brandeis police are trained state troopers and as such they should carry fire arms. Putting all the juvenile jokes posted here aside, if there's a shooting on campus do you really want to wait 15 minutes for Waltham PD to show up while more and more students are being shot? I don't.

As for the dumbass who was tasered at UF...perhaps he should not have resisted arrested arrest after he refused to follow moderator instructions after he decided to use the question and answer session to make a political point.

I'd like to applaud President Jehuda for taking the necessary actions to help ensure the safety of the Brandeis student body. For him to do the right thing despite obvious pressures from Brandeis' radical liberals is true courage. I would fear for our school if our leadership merely bent to the will of the majority- just see last year's Gravity debacle!
