Phoenix Principal Asks Cop Not to Wear Uniform When Picking Up Daughter; Parents Worried He Carries a Gun
It's not the gun but the badge that should cause concern
A police officer who dropped off his daughter at her Phoenix elementary school was asked by the school's principal not to wear his uniform to the school because other parents were concerned that he was carrying a gun, MyFoxPhoenix.com reported.
Scott Urkov is a police officer for the Coolidge Police Department. The department told him not to comment to media inquiries, but immediately after he received the no-uniform request, he posted on Facebook.

I see cops dropping off their kids at school/afterschool activities all the time, in their cruisers. I hate that shit. I'm not paying you to use your department issued car for personal use.
Well, yeah, you kinda are.
The Doritos delivery guy couldn't get by with it if a parent called and complained. So, what makes a cop so fucking special?
