Everyone has a Constitutional right to protest, it’s one of the pillars our great democracy is built on. But kids also have a right to go to school without being harassed, threatened, intimidated or assaulted. There is nothing “horrific” about protecting the safety of Columbia’s.
Truly amazing! Columbia decided to hold its students accountable to the laws of the school. They are seeing the consequences of their actions. Something these kids were most likely never taught. Good SAT scores and self-entitlement do not supersede the law. I am sure you would.

We are aware of social media posts regarding an individual detained by our police officers yesterday, and accusations that our officers ripped off a subject’s hijab. This is wholly untrue. Here’s Body-Worn Camera footage showing what really happened:. Not only was the hijab not
Today on the 3rd day of Eid the NYPD brutalized and arrested me and ripped of my hijab; with no warning. For protesting the genocide in Gaza. They refused to allow me to put my hijab back on. Please don’t post photos of me without my hijab on even if you try to block my hair.

NYPD cops pull down, toss away Palestinian flag and proudly hoist American flag after evicting protesters encamped at City College. Video shows one officer jump up and rip down the flag and then handing it to a second cop who throws it to the ground.

The NYPD stands against hate, racism, harassment and violence in all forms. But just as we expect others to follow the law, so must we. These campuses are private locations that the NYPD can’t take any enforcement action on without permission to enter the campus from the school.

Is the NYPD too political? Cops drive Gaza protest narrative with slick video of Columbia raid. "They are supposed to remain neutral, and this kind of politicking is inappropriate for police executives.".

Our officer did what he swore to do in his oath, and that is to protect life. However, his valiant efforts resulted in his death while apprehending two armed suspects. His sacrifice was nothing short of heroic. But it begs the question, New York, what were these criminals'.

Under the New York City Administrative Code sound reproduction devices (Bullhorns) are illegal without a permit. New Yorkers support peaceful protests, but are fed up with people breaking the law.
NYPD officers tell pro hamas and pro Palestinians protesters they can't use a bullhorn without a permit. The protesters pretty much tells the cops that's racist lol .

They had to fix it because it was ripped off. That’s how it works. I was brutally arrested on the ground without hijab and forced to stand up with it off my head. My sister initially fixed it, and was also groped by your officers for doing so. This video was way after the fact.

What may have started as a group of Columbia students wanting to express their constitutional right to protest has drawn crowds of outside agitators who are trying to hijack a peaceful protest and turn it something far more sinister. The NYPD sees these same groups of.
Just to be clear, @Columbia‘s president and a progressive councilmember (who doesn’t agree w @NYCMayor) have said the same thing about outside agitators, as did leaders at @CityCollegeNY last night. What’s “ridiculous” is for @AP to ignore these very public statements.
