begged On Tuesday, when pro-Hamas student radicals took over a campus building, New York City’s brightest figure came to the rescue of her left-wing group — “with great regret.” The New York City Police Department obliged Minoush Shafiq and sent in a small number of troops. officials to restore order.
Despite stirring up concerns,
Ideologically compromised professors And Democratic Party officials Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D.N.Y.), the operation was ultimately a huge success, but not according to Democratic Rep. Tiffany Caban of the 22nd District.
For Caban, this fair and non-lethal enforcement of the law amounted to “an appalling affront to democracy and free speech, and a dismal failure of public safety.”
The NYPD exercised incredible restraint when dealing with pro-Hamas extremists at Columbia University, but the NYPD’s patrol chief slammed Caban over his “garbage” comments.
NYPD Sergeant John Chell declared Caban “a man who hates our city” and that the facts are wrong.
background
Pro-Hamas extremists illegally camped outside Columbia University for more than a week, disrupting classes and making anti-Semitism inevitable on campus. In addition to spewing genocidal rhetoric, they demanded that the university withdraw from Israel.
when
negotiation If that fails, the university has set multiple deadlines to remove the protesters. Those deadlines were ignored, leading to the university giving them an ultimatum on Monday to leave the campsite or face suspension. That ultimatum proved equally ineffective.
Pro-Hamas militants eventually took over the university’s Hamilton Hall, smashing interior doors and windows, barricading entrances and scrawling anti-Israel messages on interior walls.
Shafik ultimately implored the NYPD to intervene, stressing that “the occupation of Hamilton Hall and the continued encampment poses serious safety concerns for those involved and the community at large.” Shafik also suggested that “unfortunately, the behavior of these individuals is escalating.”
The mayor gave the radicals yet another opportunity before police intervention. Hours later, hundreds of police arrived on the scene. Officers used a mobile ramp system to enter the second floor of the building and quickly apprehended the militants inside.
Outside, dozens of police cleared illegal encampments and took away violent extremists who had chosen to dig holes and fight.

issued The statement was defamatory of the police, Mayor Eric Adams, and the university administration.
“Last night’s authoritarian actions by Columbia University administrators and the New York City Police Department, led by Mayor Adams, were a colossal disgrace, a horrific affront to democracy and free speech, and a dismal failure of public safety,” Cavern said. he wrote.
Caban called the student radicals’ anti-Israel protests “a courageous gesture” and suggested they should be respected “in the same way as if they were Russian or Iranian students.”
“Our leaders are teaching students that peaceful assembly and petitioning the government will not only fail to redress their grievances, but will actually land them in jail,” the Democratic Party said. continued. “This is a very dangerous lesson to teach, and it will come back to haunt those who teach it.”
After making what appeared to be a veiled threat, Caban wrote, “Shame on you.” [the political leaders responsible for this crackdown.] A sense of solidarity with the students. There’s a ceasefire now. ”

answered In X, they wrote, “I started reading this garbage and quickly realized that this was coming from someone who hates our city and definitely does not represent the great people of New York City.” .
Chell notices Cavan’s efforts to rewrite history, and decides to try the “word substitution game.”
“Last night’s criminal acts by entitled students who are not accountable, and the support they received from City Councilor Tiffany Caban, are a tremendous disgrace. A horrible affront to the actions,” Chell wrote. “This was a complete betrayal of how civilized people are expected to behave in society, acting as if they were eternal victims.”
