Libtarded Thinking

This always amazes us:

• This morning while at Children Lurie Hospital with my daughter who is 4 years old and recovering from a bursted appendix, a close friend of mine who is a P.O. came to visit us and was in full CPD uniform and on duty was denied to visit unless he checked in his weapon. Hospital security asked him if he was on official business such as a call and he informed them no and explain his visit and he was asked again to check in his weapon. This is a hospital that does not have armed guards nor a hospital that searches visitors etc. I am beyond pissed right now.

First up, the hospital doesn't even have armed security. Nor metal detectors. They are essentially the softest of "soft targets." A madman could run loose for minutes without a single person being able to effectively counter a rampage. 

Having a cop around for a quick visit is like free armed security. He or she has a radio and hopefully, the wherewithal to step in if someone intent on mayhem enters. In fact, as recent history shows, someone shooting inside a hospital provokes an immediate and massive police response, something the hospital administration and "security" seems to have forgotten in the wake of Officer Jimenez's sacrifice.

Patients and staff aren't in any danger from the police and are in fact, safer, so policies like this are pretty much a slap at everything we do.
