Campus Cops’ Contested Role
Tell Sgt. Dustin Young he’s not a real cop. He has broken up drunken brawls, pulled a four-foot snake out of a building, and investigated countless cases of sexual assault. A few years ago, he saw a young man walking toward tracks and an oncoming train. Sergeant Young raced up, grabbed the hood of his sweatshirt, and yanked him back just before the train roared by.
