| Anti-Israel mob descends on Brooklyn College in NYC as agitators brawl with police, get tased | ||
| 2025-05-09 | ||
Chaos and wild brawls broke out at a New York City university on Thursday evening after pro-Palestinian activists tried setting up an encampment on college grounds. New York Police Department (NYPD) officers were dispatched to Brooklyn College after anti-Israel agitators refused to take down their tents. Videos show activists, many of whom were wearing keffiyehs, yelling and swearing as police officers attempted to get the unruly crowd under control. In an emotionally charged portion of the video, police pulled back a man's shirt and tased him as he screamed. An officer urged a woman to take her child away from the scene. Another clip shows police officers restraining protesters on the ground as demonstrators scream and attempt to intervene. "The cops are out of control," a woman is heard saying.
"After multiple warnings to take the tents down and disperse, members of CUNY Public Safety and NYPD removed the tents and dispersed the crowd," the statement added. "The safety of our campus community will always be paramount, and Brooklyn College respects the right to protest while also adhering to strict rules meant to ensure the safe operation of our University and prohibit individuals from impeding access to educational facilities." | ||

| #1 Tasing? Okay I guess, but it puts the police in a precarious position. Tasers (usually) are single shot and have to be reloaded. Maybe rubber bullets (they hit hard) but not bean bags; single shot again. Riot batons maybe. |
