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

[NY Post] Hickory shampoos, please?
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.

The cops are expected to arrest the group that barged into Hamilton Hall early Tuesday morning in a drastic escalation of the protest at the Ivy League school, according to police sources.

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.

Dozens of others wearing riot gear and holding zip-tie handcuffs were huddled on the street corner, apparently waiting for the go-ahead.

The NYPD blocked pedestrian and vehicular traffic on 114th Street and Broadway, while spectators chastised them: "Shame, shame, shame!"

Police moved in on the "protestors" late last evening via a window. The protestors were flex cuffed and hauled away (still wearing masks) in buses to an undisclosed location. By the time you read this the charges against them will likely have been dropped and they will have been released, identities unknown. Notice the absence of the NYC Mayor, NY Governor, and University President and officials.
The Times of Israel adds:
Police cleared 30 to 40 people from inside Columbia University’s Hamilton Hall overnight after protesters against Israel occupied the administration building in New York earlier in the day.

Hundreds of NYPD officers acted after the school’s president said there was no other way to ensure safety and restore order on campus and sought help from the department. The occupied building had expanded the demonstrators’ reach from an encampment elsewhere on the Ivy League school’s grounds.

The scene unfolded shortly after 9 p.m. as police, wearing helmets and carrying zip ties and riot shields, massed at the college’s entrance. Scores of officers climbed through a window to enter the occupied building, streaming in over a ramp raised from the top of a police vehicle to get inside. Multiple protesters were taken into custody and taken away from campus on buses.
That’s all very well, but will there be any real consequences?
The confrontation occurred more than 12 hours after the demonstrators took over Hamilton Hall shortly after midnight Tuesday, spreading their reach from an encampment elsewhere on the grounds that’s been there for nearly two weeks to protest the Israel-Hamas war. The police action happened on the 56th anniversary of a similar police action to quash an occupation of Hamilton Hall by students protesting racism and the Vietnam War.

“After the University learned overnight that Hamilton Hall had been occupied, vandalized, and blockaded, we were left with no choice,” the school says, adding that school public safety personnel were forced out of the building and one facilities worker was “threatened.”

Columbia Issues Warning to Students and Staff After Pro-Hamas Agitators Occupy Building, blocks press

[TOWNHALL] Pro-Hamas...always the voice of sweet reason...
demonstrators at Columbia took over an academic building early Tuesday to continue their "protests" over the war in Gazoo
Islamic Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response. In October of 2023 Gazooks belonging to Hamas invaded Israel, killed over a thousand people, raped a bunch of women. Then they bitched and moaned about genocide when their butts handed to them in the entirely justified retaliation.
University officials urged students and staff to keep away from campus as dozens of the anti-Israel activists occupied Hamilton Hall in defiance over the school beginning to suspend students who refused to leave an encampment set up on the quad last week.

Images on social media show students breaking windows, barricading themselves in the building, and holding banners that say "intifada." According to the school's student newspaper, a facilities worker said the pro-terrorist activists temporarily held him hostage when they gained access to the building.

Columbia blocks press from covering student Gaza protests, campus occupation

[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] Following the destructive actions of pro-Paleostinian protestors Monday night, Columbia University has announced that it will be limiting access until further notice.

Effective immediately, only essential workers and those students living in residence are allowed to enter. Outsiders, and members of the media, will be turned away.

"Access to the Morningside campus has been limited to students residing in residential buildings on campus (Carman, Furnald, John Jay, Hartley, Wallach, East Campus and Wien) and employees who provide essential services to campus buildings, labs and residential student life," the university wrote in a statement, noting that the restrictions will remain in place "until circumstances allow otherwise."

"The only access point into and out of campus," the statement continued, "is the 116th Street and Amsterdam gate. All other campus entry points are closed. Security personnel will remain in place at the Wien Gate for individuals requiring disability access to Wien Hall and East Campus."

In an earlier post, the university stated that media access to campus had been suspended "as a safety measure."

#7 They had the exact same protests, but against whites, and it wasn't any problem. Because Critical Theory teaches the oppressor/oppressed narrative. Now that the students are doing what they've always done, but now Jews are the oppressors instead of whites, riot police are using violence and silencing their free speech. All that changed was the target.

#12 Anyone have a NYC Mugshot and charges source for the nearly 100 genocidal anti-Semitic terrorists arrested at Columbia?

It would make good data for a pre-employment screening site, for employers seeking to hire "socially stable" people.

#17 New anti-semitism bill in Congress is going to put a LOT of people in jail. Accusing Congresspeople of dual loyalty has been especially pernicious and false, and I'm glad someone is finally taking a stand on it. Jail will give these people ample time to reflect on the error of their ways.

Because foreigners can fuck off and get their nose out of our affairs. And thanks for your contempt towards whites, it feeds into the worst kind of antisemitic stereotypes.
