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.
Not only did Columbia make the horrific decision to mobilize NYPD on their own students, but the units called in have some of the most violent reputations on the force. NYPD had promised the city they wouldn’t deploy SRG to protests. So why are these counterterror units here?.

The pure hate, anti- semitism, and overall vile language I have witnessed recently is simply disgusting. I could not begin to even know how this makes a person feel, a family or a friend. Hate has no place in our society from anyone! It should be condemned by all immediately.
The rhetoric over these last few weeks has been abhorrent. New York City is home to the largest Jewish population outside of NYC. You are members of our family, our coworkers, our friends and our neighbors. It should go without saying, but we condemn anti-semitism, Hamas, and

Trying to shut down an airport ? You will be the one getting shut down! We respect peaceful protest but will not tolerate lawlessness. The NYPD stands ready to ensure that our airports are operational and that hardworking New Yorkers going on vacation are not inconvenienced.

Be an honest reporter on what you see. That’s all we ask. I am top brass and you better believe my directive is to crackdown on devices , roadways and anything else to enforce the law! Any protesters! NY’ers have had enough of this nonsense. @NYPDChiefOfDept @NYPDDaughtry.
I wonder if the top NYPD brass going after me at the behest of a far-right propagandist who makes up nonsense has anything to do with me getting confirmation from multiple cops that their nitpicking of Palestine protests is a repression tactic directed by top brass 🧐.

What a shock! a news organization @NYDailyNews with another irresponsible reporter @graham_rayman not performing his due diligence by getting the facts right. Motivated in part for his continuous bias views of the NYPD along with the desire to get “clicks”. Factual narrative.

In the last 24 hours alone, fare evasion enforcement kept straphangers safe by arresting 3 separate individuals who hopped the turnstile and were also armed with a loaded gun. The individual in this video was armed with a switchblade. Great job by our @NYPDTransit officers.
Our office has reached out to NYPD Transit District 30 about this cruel incident on the 7th Avenue F/G Station. This sort of violent broken windows policing does nothing to keep us safe. Assaulting someone for skipping a turnstile is an abuse of power by the NYPD.
