NYPD arrested 282 protesters at Columbia and the City College of New York. Two college protesters were placed in solitary confinement.

Anyone know why they were protesting? The article sure doesn’t care to say.
Which, by avoiding such a key piece of information, makes this come off as more of a warning to the general population than news. If you’re going to protest something, we are going to beat you, deny you food and water, put you in solitary confinement, inhumane living conditions, and generally behave so despicably that we must ensure we keep the cameras away so they can’t report on our behavior.
Land of the free, yay. /s
Despite that being a sarcasm, I’m adding this to keep people informed.
There are 2,500+ people arrested in US alone by now. https://theappeal.org/prosecutors-charges-protesters-arrested-gaza-colleges-april/

it is actually shocking and not very funny, jerk
It can only be shocking if you have never been a victim of the incarceral system.
I don’t know, I don’t think you should be down voted for this because it is shocking, it should be shocking, but… You sweet summer child
Surely some of the college kids must have rich parents who can kick up a fuss? Maybe a class action lawsuit or something?
I feel like if so then they probably aren’t on those terms together. Wealth and pro-palestine don’t seem to go together.
The cruelty is the point.

ACAB
They’re just bad apples. As the old saying goes: “One bad apple
spoils the barrelis fine and the barrel is fine, nothing to worry about.”I don’t necessarily believe ACAB, but I do believe there is systemic corruption among the police at large, such that a majority (but not all) of the apples in the barrel are bad.

Don’t worry. Historically, this won’t affect the NYPD one bit. If there’s ever a settlement it will just be footed by the taxpayers.
The mods are making excuses for the lack of terror
