The NYPD pulls down and throws a Palestinian flag onto the street in New York. It is replaced with the US flag.

Genocide in Gaza, made in the USA.

NYPD clash with Columbia protesters, making dozens of arrests and clearing the entire encampment in 2 hours.

Hundreds of officers in riot gear swiftly removed all of the students and protesters who had been encamped on the campus for 2 weeks.

Over 100 arrests.

I live by Columbia. Tonight I went for a walk & saw 10+ blocks rapidly barricaded, dozens of police vehicles flying by, large groups of NYPD in riot gear gathering.
I study protest in E Europe. What I saw tonight was some of the most wildly disproportionate policing I've seen

BREAKING: NYPD recaptures City College from protestors and raises the American flag on the campus flagpole 🇺🇸

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇱 NYPD is MASS ARRESTING anti-ISRAEL students.

What happened to FREE SPEECH?

BREAKING:
NYPD officer at Columbia University texting “thought we fucking shot someone” while on campus outside of Hind Hall. #cu4palestine

AFTER LOCKING MEDICS INTO JOHN JAY, NYPD AT COLUMBIA PUSHED THREE STUDENTS DOWN THE STAIRS AND DRAGGED OUT ONE PASSED OUT STUDENT. THEY THREW ALL ITEMS DOWN THE STAIRS, ENDANGERING STUDENTS, AND PUSHED A GROUP OF FIVE THAT WERE WALKING WITHOUT RESISTING ARREST.

.Columbia University faculty held a rally against NYPD “raids” and to “end student suspensions.” Not a word about Jewish students getting death threats, being physically assaulted and hearing calls for their extermination. Not. A. Word. There is no academic freedom at this university.

What’s old is new again. Fuck the NYPD. All cops are bastards and always will be.

🚨 JUST IN: After raiding the encampment, NYPD has REMOVED the Palestine flag from CCNY’s campus flag pole and replaced it with the American flag 🇺🇸

GREAT work NYPD!

Anyone who thinks this militarized response to the demonstrators will end their anger over Israel’s genocide is nuts. Shame on Columbia, its donors, its pathetic President, & the NYPD. And btw, this will have consequences in November.

NYPD Going Into Columbia University With Weapons Drawn Against American Students.🇺🇸

Finally. NYPD is fighting back against punk asses who think there are no consequences in blue states.

Columbia University created this situation and allowed this to happen. They should be forced to pay the NYPD every penny this operation will end up costing.

And …. This incompetence jackass and Columbia Univ. Pres., Nemat Shafik needs to be fired, IMMEDIATELY.

Friends, please, please amplify. The NYPD are now raiding City College. Reports are hundreds of cops. Please, I know that what happened at Columbia tonight is sickening--but this is Part II. And our @cuny students are largely working class students of color.

This is New York City - a city that has felt the pain of terrorism more than any other in the USA.

Right now the NYPD has to listen to terror-loving tykes hurl insults at them.

Every one of these kids is a disgrace. They have no idea what is at stake.

#HAPPENINGNOW : An incredible scene and proud moment as we have assisted City College of NY in restoring order on campus, culminating in raising Old Glory once again on their campus flagpole. 🇺🇸
