    University Police Chief announced his retirement today. Hard to think that these aren't related to the current events.

    Strangely the U is giving him a year of salary and benefits as a severance package.

    He’s the first person I know if in law enforcement to get a severance package upon retiring.

    So, I just recently learned that bullet proof backpacks for kids are a thing.

    There's some irony in the name of the man who started the company.

    Yasir Sheikh, president of Guard Dog Security, a Florida-based company that sells bulletproof backpacks and other protective items, began selling the bags five years ago, after 20 children and six adults were murdered at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.

    That means it was negotiated and it probably means both sides wanted to end the relationship quietly.

    Oh we all know that. It just looks bad when they’re trying to claim he’s voluntarily retiring

    Don't worry guys, he's just taking a year off to spend time with his sick mother.

    Agreed. Yeah, it’s obvious what they were doing. I was just speculating that for both sides there must be plenty of dirty laundry to hide.
