Several hundred NYPD cops stormed onto Columbia University’s campus on Tuesday night to oust a pro-terror mob that illegally took over an academic building amid ongoing anti-Israel protests on campus...

Shortly before entering the Morningside Heights campus at 9:13 p.m., about 100 cops from the NYPD’s Emergency Service Unit packed into buses and headed to Columbia in preparation for the university’s call for help, sources told The Post.

...

Twenty minutes later, Columbia University issued a shelter-in-place for students over “heightened activity” at the Morningside campus — and warned that those who do not abide will be hit with “disciplinary action.”

The university’s Chapter of the American Association of University Professors issued a scathing statement once the officers began mobilizing, accusing Columbia’s administration of ignoring the faculty’s offers to “defuse the situation.”...

NYPD Commissioner Edward Caban confirmed earlier Tuesday that the department would swoop in if needed, as it had done two weeks earlier when student protesters first set up its mini tent city.

“Once the university acts for our help, the NYPD will be there ready to assist them,” Caban emphasized.

Those arrested inside Hamilton Hall would be charged with third-degree burglary, criminal mischief and trespassing, police officials said.

...

Meanwhile, NYPD brass revealed Tuesday that the mob of masked agitators who smashed their way into Hamilton Hall in the middle of the night included “professional outside agitators” not affiliated with Columbia or the pro-Palestinian cause...

“We were well aware, based on a series of observations that what should have been a peaceful protest as part of the constitutional rights of Americans, has clearly been co-opted the right which this administration supports and defends to voice your concern,” Adams said.

...... The response tomorrow from the Anti American Anti Freedom Coalition (A³FC) will be to become even .... More Angry and More Violent. I say keep the pressure up on these  Miscreants through proper Law Enforcement action and let them reveal their Demonic selves and adopted  Satanic behavior to the public.

..... Honestly ....  I still believe there are  some people out there, other than Conservatives, that actually believe in the Founding Principles and Freedom that once thrived in this Country.

The protesters were confirmed by the NYPD to be “professional outside agitators.”

Last weekend, 72 protestors were arrested at Arizona State University. Only 15 of them were students. The other 57 had no university affiliation.

If these colleges stopped open campuses it might help.

They have barricaded doors and broken widows. Helpful for NYPD to launch pepper balls, smoke grenades, tear gas, etc. into the building as needed.

...the mob of masked agitators...

Has anyone seen Ray Epps lately?

[matt04]

Mayne they mean 100 ESU aka SWAT/Riot officers to go in and the rest to support in transport, logistics, etc.

[matt04]

Based on the videos of when they broke in, you could tell it was way more than random students. They knew exactly what to do, who was gonna barricade what doors, etc.

Damn. That’s too bad. I really don’t want to see any NYPD officers get hurt arresting these loons, only to see the loons released with no bail by a leftist prosecutor.

I was really hoping this was going to go on and get really ugly for Columbia, to the point of administrators openly fighting with each other over what is to be done and alumni demanding refunds of donations.

[lightman]

$oro$ temps.

[magooey]

The president of Columbia is responsible for this crap… she needs to go immediately.

She is an Egyptian Muslim. Come on man! Those are her peeps./s

Joe Biden funding "Death to America" by "forgiving" student loans.

Live feed indicates the situation is not really being controlled by the cops. They allow the protestors to get up on their faces, and in some cases, spit in them.

They need tear gas to disperse the mobs.
