Dozens arrested when NYPD cops storm Columbia campus to clear out anti-Israeli war mob | 30 April 2024 | 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 cleared out 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. Dozens of Emergency Service Unit officers entered the Morningside Heights campus at 9:13 p.m., but were blocked from entering the barricaded building through the front door... The NYPD ordered its Mobile Adjustable Ramp System (MARS) to the second-floor window, sending in a flood of riot-gear clad cops carrying zip-tie handcuffs.
