Hundreds of NYPD cops storm Columbia campus to clear out anti-Israel mob

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.

Hannity is yapping away, saying, “It’s all over.”

While there obviously several dozen protesters who are prepared to continue, standing in several locations along the sidewalks and in the street.

Time for a spicy fog, followed by a “shower bath” aka water canons, followed by a good old-fashioned hickory shampoo and maybe a sidewalk sandwich!

Oh, yes, and don’t forget, that you who reject Jesus are no sons of Abraham.

“”ignoring the faculty’s offers to “defuse the situation.””

Most of the ‘faculty’ are probably Marxists who indoctrinate and fully support the hate they have inculcated.

Did the cops take their crayons and coloring books away?

Reminds me of the old Li’l Abner comic strip from 1966 in which the Students Wildly Indignant about Nearly Everything (S.W.I.N.E.) take over the campus.
The terrified University Regents decide to sell the University! The only buyers were the Mafia who brings in the mob enforcers.
Here come the SWINE protesting!
I still get a thrill remembering how the leader of the S.W.I.N.E. used his front teeth to assault the brass knuckles of the mob enforcers. Who says brass won’t make a spark! These did. Big ones at that!
Anyone else remember that old comic strip? Could easily be reprinted today with no changes.
