WOW: Read The Jaw-Dropping Email Police Just Sent Students At Missouri
The University of Missouri Police Department sent an email to students on Tuesday calling on them to report “hateful and/or hurtful speech” so those engaging in it can be disciplined.
The email specifically asks students to call the police immediately when they have witnessed these infractions.
“Delays, including posting information to social media, can often reduce the chances of identifying the responsible parties,” the email notes. “While cases of hateful and hurtful speech are not crimes, if the individual(s) identified are students, MU’s Office of Student Conduct can take disciplinary action.”

Mediaite reports:
…the MUPD confirmed that the email was real. When asked about the potential First Amendment implications, a spokesman responded simply, “We are simply asking them to report what they feel is hurtful and/or hateful speech.”
He added that the police did not consider the hateful speech “a criminal matter.” However, “We also work for the University and uphold the Universities Rules and Regulations.”
Major Brian Weimer of the MUPD told Campus Reform by email that, “We just want to make sure everything is dealt with properly…In order for us to take action, we need to have a report of it, not just get it out on social media.”
The MUPD email comes one day after university President Tim Wolfe and Chancellor R. Bowen Loftin resigned under pressure from students and faculty over what they saw as an unacceptable response to racial incidents on campus.

A University has it’s own police department?? Only in America.
All of them do- it has been a NAZI (National Socialist) Police State ever since the filthy jew bag money changers took over in 1913 with their creation of the Federal Reserve System.
Just remember little 5 year old boys and girls, make sure to tattle tale on ANYONE who hurts your feelings or says something mean.
ANYONE who is involved in this sort of immature whiny nosed behavior should be forced to redo Kindergarten for reasons of not learning this SIMPLE thing:
“Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me”
Muahahaha ha ha ha! Liberals! They always show us their colors!
This article has failed to give that ‘back story.’ Yes….there is a back story. Two of them, in fact.
First, yes. Universities have had their own police forces all over the country for decades now….since the late eighties in fact. And yes, they enforce the University rules as well as traffic and other laws.
However, this particular case is one of severe, on campus racial harassment. So bad in fact that one student went on a hunger strike and the entire football team (yes, white players included) refused to play any more games until the Dean resigned his position.
The Dean resigned because he had ignored the pleas from the black student dorms of over the top harassment for so long that the entire student body rose as one against him and the perpetrators.
So, the e-mail above is an act of ‘cleaning up a damn mess.’ One that is welcomed in a community that demanded such an action, and waited far too long for its arrival.
