George Washington University Police Department to arm ‘specially trained’ officers with handguns by fall

"...a professor of peace studies"

You have to admit, that's an impressive grift he's got going.

I wonder if he'd even consider throwing soy at someone in self-defense. Probably not.

He also coordinates the DC Peace Team which offers training in nonviolent communication, restorative justice, bystander intervention, trauma awareness, anti-racism, meditation, along with providing unarmed civilian protection deployments (2011-present).

Martina Sanchez sounds like an idiot.

"...a professor of peace studies"

Saw one of those forensic files shows yesterday about a transwoman who while still in natural man form murdered several prostitutes a few decades before DNA evidence. Police were smart enough to save some tissue from under one victim's fingernails. 20 years later, DNA allowed for an ID, but the person was a "woman" ....oh...trans....(just to add to the drama of the show). Anyway all this to point out one of the experts was a professor is a "queer criminologist."

That DC Peace Team website is a trip into communist revolution. This is how they get their minders and yellow-vests for protests.

My favorite page though:

Watch the "Training" video.

Yuri was right:



So is Jordan:



"The idea that something should be consistent. You were talking about the necessity for consistency in ideology. It's like - I'm not hearing what you think. I'm hearing what - how you're able to represent the ideology you were taught and it's not that interesting because I don't know anything about you. I could replace you with someone else who thinks the same way and that means you're not here. That what it means. It's not pleasant. So you're not drawing - You're not integrating the specifics of your personal experience with what you've been taught to synthesize something that's genuine and surprising and engaging in a narrative sense as a consequence and that's the pathology of ideological possession. It's not good, and it's not good that I know where you stand on things once I know a few things. It's like, why have a conversation? I already know where you stand on things."

****I know a lady who majored in "Peace Studies". She is currently (still) unemployed and being supported by her parents at the age of 26 or so. Her ideal job would be to work for the United Nations, or the World Economic Forum as a Peace Ambassador - thinking she could be sent to places like Israel to help solve their problems with the Palestinians, or to some part of Africa to get their "Strong Men" to lay down their arms and embrace fellowship and give up their tribalism so everyone could share equally in the great bounty nature has to offer.

I admire her confidence in being able to solve the up to now intractable problems in the Middle East and parts of Sub-Saharan Africa thanks to her GWU under graduate education and vast experience with all of the people she went to school (private school) in Potomac, MD, as well as at the country club her parents belong to where she was exposed to the hired help from mostly third world countries...

I've spoken to her several times, and just wonder to myself how remarkably out of touch she seems to be with respect to reality, human nature, and the history of why certain regions of the world seem to always be in constant turmoil or at least very tentative situation that could boil over at anytime with widespread death and destruction, etc..

Her father is a friend of mine, and his best case scenario for his daughter is that she gets married to someone with a LOT of money, and spends her days planning family trips, perhaps volunteering distributing food boxes with sandwiches and fruit to poor people, or some such thing. His daughter doesn't want to work for a "for profit enterprise", so that kind of eliminates a lot of options right there in terms of possibly being able to earn a decent living, and living on her own while earning enough to pay rent, plus perhaps being able to pay for the new iPhone 15Max+ coming out soon enough...Perhaps even earn enough to just pay for the oil changes on her Rubicon Jeep with all of the little ducks on the dashboard...

I just shake my head and wonder WTF her parents did to raise a kid like that.

Around here, there's no money in it!

Incredible. What I think happened?: Her parents said "yes" to everything.

Rambo (2008) addressed this "peace studies" phenomenon pretty well:

There is a former Episcopal Church, now gone full tranny with Montessori Peace Academy down the street.

I appreciate the Commies let me know where they congregate!

I'm fine with them segregating themselves in places like this.

It's the militant, revolutionary cult which is bubbling under the surface through organizations like the DC Peace Team that's the real issue. They've merely switched out their armbands for "safety" vests to organize the next "direct action".

These are the latest iteration of doomsday cults. The difference is that these groups want you to turn away from God for your salvation.

Yup. In the absence of God, people create one.

Enhancing Public Safety | GW Police Department | The George Washington University

The safety and security of our students, faculty, and staff has long been a critical priority.

police.gwu.edu

After incorporating input from GW community members, in late August the university completed the first phase of a multi-phase implementation process by arming two executive supervisory officers, while continuing to seek feedback on the process and other enhancements to public safety.

.....

1: Arming Scope and Strategy
The full implementation plan envisions arming GWPD’s supervisors only. The plan will begin at the start of the 2023 academic year with the initial arming of two executive supervisors—Chief James Tate and Captain Gabe Mullinax. Subsequently, additional supervisors will be armed in phases as requirements are met and community input is incorporated.

GW University officers have started to carry guns, and many students are unhappy

GWU students say arming campus police officers is unnecessary and that the university fails to address actual safety concerns.

thewash.org

Chief James Tate and Captain Gabe Mullinax, two George Washington Police Department officers, have been armed since the beginning of the school year. GWPD plans for additional supervisors to be armed in phases as requirements are met, according to GWPD’s website.

......

Some students say they feel even more unsafe with campus officers armed, especially in the context of protests happening in the city regarding the war between Israel and Hamas.

“It’s definitely been a sense of feeling unsafe because there’s a lot of police presence with the protests,” Krone said.

The students:

Young sheltered people have no sense of danger to their world bubble until they're reminded of outside danger.

Then they blame the police for disrupting their bubble.

Its the same mentality of putting up No Gun signs to feel safe.
