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.

“professional outside agitators”

Will DOJ go to the ends of the earth to identify them and hold them in the DC Gulag for three years?

Or are they already let out on own recognizance?

Summer is coming up shortly so they'll have to wait until fall.

Those 'protesters' were breaking the law because of the high-visibility of university campuses. Those campuses will still be there in the summer, and might be easier to take them over with no students around. And, those were terrorists violating the law and many were paid protesters and many were not even students at those universities. Hamas and Iran and their hired guns will not wait till the fall to continue terrorizing students and university staff and the surrounding communities.

Nypd must be invited to step on that campus.

Rikers Island is good place to continue their protest: “That one there sure does have a pretty mouth …”

[Celtic Conservative]

Every major city. Those of us living in small towns will sit out the stupidity like we always do.

Feel the luv!

Thank you. This should have done during daylight. Very creepy and more dangerous at night.

“professional outside agitators.”

I’m of a vintage to remember that phrase from the ‘68 post MLK riots.

Now it is the third generation of commies.

The NYPD has a budget of 6 billion and 40,000+ employees. They sent 100 officers.

I've been following several of the streams. They sent many times more than 100 officers.

Crack heads, boys!

(Huh.You would think our President would be talking to us right now…)

Sorry, he’s busy.

He’s out driving a semi truck 🚛.

[Alas Babylon!]

Antifa.

[nutmeg]

Exactly.. about damn time! I’m sorry the NYPD had to be put into this position of going after these POS snowflakes, not knowing if they were armed or not.

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

Many of these “protestors” were involved in the blm / antifa “Summer of Love” “fiery, but mostly peaceful ‘anti racist’ riots”.
Especially, the soros paid leaders.

This is not about race, imaginary palestine, Wakanda or anything else.

It is part of the worldwide communist revolution, a “color revolution” right here, in the good ol’ US of A.
Supported by the Demonrat Party and our feral gubmint.
