Recently, Zehr said the Cedar Rapids Police Department did security checks to ensure safety at nearby bars, including his.
"Checking each place and checking their cameras and making sure that they're on the entrance, on the exit, on the parking lot, and over the cash register, so if something happens, it is going to be caught," Zehr said.
Zehr said these checks are good for business and good for law enforcement to create a partnership if something were to happen. Zehr said cameras can only do so much, and with any threat, there is only so much ownership can do within the confines of state and federal law. He said they hope for the best, but prepare for the worst case scenario. |

Security cameras etc. are placebos. They do nothing to stop an active shooter. Most active shooters (if not all) don't much care if they are recorded shooting people. They are way past caring about such a trivial detail.
Memo: Making people 'feel' safe doesn't MAKE them safe. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Congress have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birthright of an American... The unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state government, but, where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people. — Tench Coxe, Pennsylvania Gazette, Feb. 20, 1788. |
