The white supremacist shooter who killed three Black residents over the weekend at a dollar store in Jacksonville, Florida, stopped beforehand at the state’s first historically Black college
at Edward Waters University and began putting on tactical gear. Students reported him, a campus police officer approached and he sped off in his vehicle having never identified himself.
“We are just in an environment now that is toxic as it relates to race,” said Glover, also a former Jacksonville sheriff. “This notion of us against them, Black versus white, is being promoted.” Before the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, universities were easily accessible to the public, but many schools now require IDs to cross through campus gates and enter buildings. Following last year's bomb threats, some universities have increased the presence of law enforcement officers, social workers and counselors to address safety and health concerns.
