Really, one is a Democracy and the other was a Socialist paradise.
The campus police at the University of Missouri sent out a campus-wide email this morning asking individuals who witness of hateful and/or hurtful speech or actions to immediately report the incident to them.
The email did not define what constitutes hurtful speech but did say if anyone experiences or hears it they are immediately get in touch with cops and also provide a detailed description of the individual(s) involved along with the license plate and vehicle descriptions Also, If possible and if it can be done safely, take a photo of the individual(s) with your cell phone.
The email says if it is an emergency situation of hurtful speech not to call campus police but to dial 911.

Oh this is only going to get so much worse... SJW lunatics have taken over the university and are already doubling down on crazy.
So, let me get this straight. Gun culture is supposedly causing rampant campus shootings, rape culture is supposedly causing women to be raped at rates heretofore unheard of, but somehow campus police are supposed to have time to investigate every reported case of ambiguous "hurtful speech"? Are the inmates running the asylum, what is going on over there?
How much more cogent would the title of thread be if it were "Peak Liberalism?"
"Peak" would imply not locked in a self-destructive death spiral.
I just want to repeat: "The email says if it is an emergency situation of hurtful speech not to call campus police but to dial 911."
Anyone who actually does that deserves the citation for making a false 911 call that they will hopefully get.
Given the way the police shoot out of false claims of fearing for their safety, perhaps we should bubble wrap the cops with yellow tape.
I know really...
People have been pointing out that the statistics don't support the bogus claims for a long time, but either way the campuses have made it clear what their priorities are - thought crime.
I just want to repeat: "The email says if it is an emergency situation of “hurtful” speech not to call campus police but to dial 911."
These people are completely wacked!
Back on subject, Civman has a point, the left appears to be feeding on itself.
IRRC 'Black Lives Matter' haven't invaded right wing rallies, only Dem rallies.
If it is true, how do we account for the terrible, terrible working conditions that business owners and corporations have (and do) subjected their workers to over the centuries? Under capitalism, as we see it, greed and profit take precedence over compassion. In most cases the only solution has been government intervention.
Sure some regulations are too strict, but we know that unbridled capitalism will exploit workers every way it can in the pursuit of profit. Asian sweatshops are one example. Enron is another of a different sort.That's not an absolute. Employees are expensive to train and replace if they get injured, or sick. It's in a company's best interest to keep them safe. I work on large industrial construction sites and the majority of the safety regulations are not government, or union regulations and we have extremely strict regulations. Some are so strict it can be frustrating.
I am not advocating socialism, just the necessary constraint of capitalism. I think a case can be made that communalism, capitalism, slavery and totalitarianism are natural states for human social groups. Social progress has made some of those less palatable to modern society.Human beings will be Human beings. The point is you need to control them and their excesses.
Capitalism is natural to us human beings, go to third world countries experimenting with socialism and the economy is a disaster but at the same time market women are doing fine with capitalism.
IMO Capitalism is a natural for us humans, socialism isn't.
Actually it says if there is an emergency (i.e. generally, not an emergency specifically about "hurtful speech") to call 911. Otherwise it says to call the campus police regular line.
