A police officer who was involved in clearing protesters from a Columbia University administration building earlier this week fired his gun inside the hall, a spokesperson for District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office confirmed Thursday.
No one was injured, according to spokesperson Doug Cohen, who said there were other officers but no students in the immediate vicinity. He said Bragg’s office is conducting a review.
He did not provide additional details on the incident, which was first reported by news outlet The City.
The New York Police Department did not immediately respond to The Associated Press’ request for comment.
I don’t know if it was the “right move”, but yeah it’s ineffective to protest at night inside a building. Just sleep in your own bed and march with a sign every day.
These protests are a distraction from their own cause. Columbia is on Broadway. Literally just march down Broadway with signs every day. Every tourist will take photos along the way. You’re in one of the most visited cities on the planet, home to the UN, many consulates, many organization headquarters, many famous locations and you stay in some tents uptown?
Fucking why???
Honestly it’s just because they’re stupid kids that at LARPing as civil rights activists. There either isn’t enough sense between them to this correctly or they just don’t care to achieve results
