Tbf though this is non-lethal stuff. And I don’t know that much about American police, but maybe it’s not such a bad idea universities don’t let them handle crowd control? I hear they don’t have the best track record.
(I get that in an ideal world universities shouldn’t arm themselves against their students, but come on, Jeff from the economics department is a real douchebag, and ever since he has been hanging around with those extremists he is becoming more and more unhinged)
Creating a parallel force because the local police sucks is like the definition of curing the symptoms instead of the disease; well, attempting to, anyway.
Crowd control itself is the same thing, if you’ve got enough unhappy people to generate a mob that needs to be suppressed, I think you may have a social problem on your hands.

No such thing as “non lethal” and never was. There is “less lethal” which still kills.

The KKK are indeed a fundamentally social problem, but may need to be curtailed with enforcement at times.
