I’ve Covered Violent Crackdowns on #Protests for 15 Years. This #Police Overreaction Was Unhinged.
When police attacked student #protesters, a lone trash can was the only damaged property I saw around City College of New York.
Between #Columbia and #CityCollege, over 200 protesters — almost all #students — were arrested before the night was out.
Brutal policing and groundless excuses are nothing new, nor is bipartisan support for the crackdowns.
