Insanity: Mesa, AZ Police Officer Scott Urkov was asked to stop wearing his uniform and gun when picking up his daughter from school.
-
The anti-gun hysteria at American schools has continued apace since the Newtown shootings, with school bureaucrats enforcing insane "zero tolerance" edicts - punishing children for forming cookies shaped like guns, possessing a gun keychain the size of a quarter, and even suspending them for playing with toy guns at home.
Now one school in Arizona has asked an officer of the law to leave his sidearm, and for that matter his uniform, at home.
When Officer Scott Urkov received a call from the principal of Entz Elementary School in Mesa, Arizona, after he picked up his daughter while in full uniform, including his sidearm, he was more than a little shocked, expressing his disbelief in a Facebook post:
A "man at school with a gun"? Seriously? Evidently, the mere sight of a gun, even when attached in plain view to the hip of a sworn officer of the law, is just too much stress for some parents to handle.
“There were some parents who were concerned about the fact there was a fully armed officer on campus and they spoke to the principal about it,” said school spokesperson Helen Hollands.

Obviously, this Programming Institution is in dire need of a “Bring Your Dad To School” Day.
Those parents would react the same to the sight of a Super Soaker or to a “Pill Gun” to take care of a Pet.
guess they don't want to scare all the FRICKIN ILLEGAL ALIENS!!!
I’d be more nervous about an armed cop picking up his Pekinese from the doggy day care.
a target rich environment
Parents like those will be the first to die during The Great Societal Reset.
And I shall drink their tears.
Ya, let’s talk about, who is my daddy, and what does my daddy do. Will the tolerant liberals be intolerant if someone’s daddy is a cop, or in the military????
The chief of Police for the officer should inform the school board any officer will, if he is in uniform, will be allowed on school grounds any time fully armed. Any plain clothes officer will also be alowed on school grounds any time and armed or not.
Maybe its time to fire the lefty loons who run the schools and universities — and replace them with Americans.
I can understand the gun part to a certain degree (small one) as I as a citizen cannot legally carry conceal on school property....
But his uniform...that’s nuts...
Why? If parents aren't allowed to carry why should a cop parent?
For sure, but that should've happened 20 years ago. It's gone on too long.

EXCELLENT!
I wonder if they would call the cops on him...
