At least 100 protesters were cuffed and hauled away on Thursday afternoon when NYPD cops in riot gear swarmed the campus after the president made the bombshell decision to clear a large anti-Israel protest encampment.
After the busts, other Columbia protesters moved to block the fleet of NYPD corrections buses transporting the suspects away from the scene.
Dozens of cops in body armor and face shields descended on the Morningside Heights campus shortly after 1 p.m. and surrounded the encampment of a few dozen tents, which went up on Wednesday morning.

Good ol’ Nuke Nejad.
You forgot deport .
Teach a class on the evils of whiteness....promotion and tenure
Protest Israel....arrested and fired
How do people not see who rules us?
how about a bare ass spanking
would that be legal?
Columbia is right down the road from Trump's bodega visit.
Perhaps they were concerned that Trump visit Columbia Jewish students next.
Who am I to say his Diversity should not be completely appreciated and encouraged?
I am reminded of the old Li’l Abner comic strip of around 1966 in which the Students Wildly Indignant about Nearly Everything(S.W.I.N.E.) took over the campus.
The Regents were so terrified of the rioters they sold the University to the Mafia. Here came the rioters!
I still get a thrill remembering the stars that flew when the leader of the rioters assaulted the mafia enforcers’ brass knuckles with his front teeth.
significant alumni donations must be drying up ...

Sad to see FReepers support 1st Amendment crackdowns.
“Armed with bags of zip ties, the officers then set about detaining those who ignored the warnings.”
The HUMILIATION of being zip-tied when REAL PROTESTERS at least get handcuffs.
Yeah, well...it’s not as if there’s anybody getting the ol’ Hickory Shampoo, or anything. Probably all will be released without charges & back to campus in time for class in the morning; assuming they go to any.
It must be said to the administration at Columbia that over the course of many years they brought the current condition on themselves. Their tolerance of the Fascistic protest actions to prevent speakers from speaking created the normalization of protests that cause civil disturbances as O.K.
Should have been done the first hour of the first day.
All of the charges will eventually be dropped for all of them. It’s the Alvin Bragg method of losing a country.

It’s private property, Skippy.

I suppose you support lines of people blocking highways too? That's not speech either, those are actions, that cause other people harm. where are actions like these (not speech) written into our bill of rights?
There was tons of property damage and harassment during the Summer of 2020 of people "exercising" their speech and law enforcement didn't bat an eye. Look how fast the NYPD jumped its collective donut-eating ass into action when the speech is criticizing Israel.

No, I don't support that.
