Brooklyn College is kowtowing to some students who oppose the NYPD by directing officers who need a bathroom break to the broken-down facilities in a building on the far edge of campus.
Amid a planned petition drive to ban officers from the taxpayer-funded campus, Donald Wenz, the schoolās director of public safety, told the student newspaper The Excelsior that heās trying to keep New Yorkās Finest out of sight.
While Wenz said all of the schoolās restrooms were technically open to officers, the college prefers they stick to those in the isolated West End Building, ārather than walking across either quad to use the bathroom.ā
A visit by The Post to the first-floor menās room in the WEB ā located past the schoolās tennis courts and next to its athletic field ā revealed a broken toilet with a hideously stained seat and an āOUT OF ORDERā sign taped to the door of its stall.
Several students told The Post they and their pals shared the sentiment, with a 21-year-old senior explaining that āpeople get triggeredā by police officers.
āI know students from every background and across every major,ā she said. āThey donāt feel comfortable around cops. They just donāt. It makes safe spaces feel not so safe.ā
