Columbia University issued a statement in response to reports that officers from the New York Police Department (NYPD) had begun a raid on the campus.
“A little after 9 p.m. this evening, the NYPD arrived on campus at the University’s request,” the statement from the university said. “This decision was made to restore safety and order to our community.” NYPD officers dressed in riot gear were recorded preparing to move into Columbia University, hours after anti-Israel protests had seized control of Hamilton Hall, an academic building on campus.

How much easier this would have been on the first, second, or even third day.

The real question for the NYPD is - why did you wait so long? Who or what prevented you from acting forcefully?

The question is how soon will this collection of professional agitators, anarchists, spoiled brats, and useful idiots be released because neither Columbia nor NYC will press charges? Next, Columbia and NYC will criticize the police with being too rough with these “peaceful demonstrators.”

I have come to the conclusion that to become a university administrator, you must be unable to think critically. Anyone with a brain could see where this was being pushed. These protestors are not content to just protest, it has to become a violent attack against their enemies. They stir up trouble and then paint themselves as victims when, in fact, they are front groups for terror. It doesn’t take an Einstein to figure this out. However, when you are blinded by your own wokeness, reality is elusive.

Columbia's president should be fired immediately and replaced by an American. President Biden should be impeached for allowing this situation to occur across the country and for being AWOL last night, probably hiding under his desk and sucking his binky.

Yeah, but did the cops bring the food that the “revolutionaries” were begging and whining for?

Columbia can't charge $60,000 a year tuition and then tell the students go home and study at home...of the few disgruntled students having a spring Woodstock....demanding a catered lunch...and facilities...they lost all credibility with their fellow hard working Columbia students who want to graduate and go into the real world and get a job....

On Laura Ingraham's show last night, she discussed how the Columbia U's Board off Trustees has a couple of Jews sitting on it and they have said nothing about the anti-Jew/Israel/America riots taking place on campus. Jews like David Greenwald (formerly of Goldman Sachs) and Adam Pritzker, cousin to the Illinois Governor. Guess they figured like the wealthy Jews of Europe circa 1939 - their money would protect them.

Why apologetic? Your campus was taken over by paid agitators.

I don't know if this has been addressed yet, (too irritating to follow) but I hope if any of these hamas sympathizers are here on a student visa it is immediately revoked and they are sent home at their own expense.

One Hamas terrorist that was interviewed said, "if we are arrested, we will be out within an hour." That's Alvin Bragg's justice in N.Y.

The dame should resign. She has no business being president, because she cannot run the university. Utter incompetence. Get the heck off the campus.
