“Columbia University’s president, Nemat “Minouche” Shafik, said in a memo to police earlier Thursday that more than 100 people were occupying the area.

“I have determined that the encampment and related disruptions pose a clear and present danger to the substantial functioning of the University,” the memo said.

Shafik said the demonstrators were trespassing, refusing to disperse and damaging campus property, among other violations.

In a statement Thursday, Shafik said she authorized police to clear the encampment “out of an abundance of concern” for safety on campus”

It was tents on a lawn, how is that a danger?

Has anyone asked the tents if they denounce Hamas?

“Columbia University’s students have a proud history of protests and raising their voices,” Adams said, but he said that they don’t have the right to violate university policies.

“We will not be a city of lawlessness,” Adams said.

For a Democrat, he’s saying and doing awfully fasc things.

Then again, for a cop, which he still is and always will be, he’s exhibiting about the standard amount of fascism.

I’m pretty convinced he’s a Democrat because he knew he wouldn’t be elected if he was a Republican.

Yeah, probably. Still doesn’t explain why the Dem leadership went all in on him and his fraudulent “crime is out of control and only a cop can fix it” narrative, though…
