Some students were escorted off campus with their hands zip tied behind their backs. Some protesters were loaded on to law enforcement buses parked outside the university.

  1. its a shame they were really doing something with the organized level of trying to raise awareness – a demonstration like that has much more of an impact with the number of days it can show the civilized nature of advocacy in the face of chaotic "civilized" warfare fueled because of a new frontier of business making changing the fabric of this world – not from an escalation in demonstration – it was beautiful because it was a school – definitely changed by outsiders who apart of the scene not those who were about changing it

  2. Law enforcement sure is more aggressive with unarmed citizens and protesters than active school scooters. Wouldn't it be smarter to call management and have maintenance let the officers in the building? idiocy at it's worst!

  3. The same thing happening in other countries is touted as Death of Democracy by NYT, Guardian, BBC, Washington Post etc..I looked for NYT coverage, just missing..Shame on US..

  4. Hong Kong government express its deep cncern of the policy brutality displayed here. If this were in Hong Kong, police would let the students stay in the building.

  5. A bit too late and a bit too soft, but still – well done!
    There might still be hope for Columbia – to free itself from neo-marxists.

  6. The AMP which has connections to Hamas financially supports and helps coordinate the activity of SJP, assisting in its development as one of primary organizers of anti-Israel events on college campuses in America.
