(<em>Photo: Union-Tribune file)<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p>A Miramar College professor and retired cop was suspended after \u201cbrandishing\u201d a firearm during an administrative meeting where he blew the whistle on fellow teachers, reports the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sandiegouniontribune.com\/news\/2015\/aug\/17\/miramar-college-gun-meeting\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"police-academy-professor-suspended-for-brandishing-handgun-during-meeting\" title=\"Police Academy Professor Suspended For \u2018Brandishing\u2019 Handgun During Meeting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Diego Tribune<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan Omens, a retired San Diego police officer and faculty member at the school of public safety, met with the administration in Oct. 2014 to explain that some teachers were illegally selling ammunition to students at the college\u2019s police academy firing range. Later that day, he was suspended without pay for one year for \u201cbrandishing\u201d his sidearm.<\/p>\n<p>Omens claims the unwarranted disciplinary action was merely retaliation for reporting the ammunition sales and filed a lawsuit seeking one year\u2019s pay, or $100,000.<\/p>\n<p>But the district says Omens\u2019 suspension was merited, citing his \u201cbrandishing\u201d as the cause.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBrandishing a firearm is a crime,\u201d the district said in a legal filing. \u201cOmens was placed on leave of absence and disciplined for brandishing the handgun.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to George Beitey, the dean of Miramar\u2019s school of public safety and defendant in the lawsuit, Omens drew his holstered weapon during the meeting and placed it on a table with the barrel pointing towards him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI told Omens that we could not have a firearm in the room, and I attempted to grab it and remove it,\u201d wrote Beitey. \u201c[Omens] grabbed it first and said the gun was not going to be removed. He said he felt unsafe and that if I didn\u2019t like it, I could call college police. He was extremely agitated as he said this, and I feared he may have shot us at this point.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Omens believes the school used his suspension \u201cto divert attention from the ammunition sales,\u201d but the district says the selling of ammunition to registered students is an age-old practice, and legal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNothing in the law prohibits sale by individuals who are not dealers,\u201d the district said, adding that because staff members \u201cwere selling ammunition to registered students in a Police Science course, there was no violation of law in the sales.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Omens\u2019 administrative leave was completed last January and he will be returning to teach this fall.<\/p>\n<p>(<em>This article was submitted by freelance writer Brent Rogers)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Miramar College professor and retired cop was suspended after \u201cbrandishing\u201d a firearm during an administrative meeting where he blew the whistle on fellow teachers. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":41422,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[7,326,241,240],"tags":[132,122],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-41420","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-gunsamerica-authors","8":"category-brent","9":"category-rapid-fire","10":"category-this-week","11":"tag-buzz","12":"tag-r2kba"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.1 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Police Academy Professor Suspended For \u2018Brandishing\u2019 Handgun During Meeting<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A College professor, retired cop was suspended after \u201cbrandishing\u201d a firearm during an administrative meeting where he blew the whistle on fellow teachers.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/police-academy-professor-suspended-for-brandishing-handgun-during-meeting\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Police Academy Professor Suspended For \u2018Brandishing\u2019 Handgun During Meeting\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"A Miramar College professor and retired cop was suspended after \u201cbrandishing\u201d a firearm during an administrative meeting where he blew the whistle on fellow teachers.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/police-academy-professor-suspended-for-brandishing-handgun-during-meeting\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Gun Reviews and News | GunsAmerica.com\/Digest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gunsamerica\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2015-08-18T12:54:49+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-08-18T23:04:28+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Police-Academy-Professor-Suspended-Handgun.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"400\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"S.H.
