Per witnesses, KAHANE drove up to the picketers as they were marching from one trustee’s house & asked for a flyer from his Volvo. When someone reached out to give him one, he grabbed their arm. He then circled the block, veered toward the sidewalk, before driving into the march. A de-escalator providing safety support to the picketers at the back of the march, put her hands up to indicate to KAHANE to wait. He drove into her. Another de-escalator sat in front of the vehicle to force it to stop. Students moved onto the sidewalk. That de-escalator who sat in front of the vehicle was arrested. EMS was called by the first de-escalator who was hit, & showed them injuries to her leg. She was detained after being taken into an ambulance that she called. KAHANE is then arrested, & was reportedly laughing & “chummy” w the cops. Per video reviewed by me, DI Zuber, commanding officer, made derogatory statements to the student protestors, calling them “fucking morons” & telling them “there’s consequences when you’re an adult,” effectively blaming them for a fascist intentionally driving his car into them. Notably, no students were injured: The safety team accompanying them put their bodies in the way to keep them safe, & were arrested for it. In addition, this picket was intended to point out people who donate substantial funds to Columbia to influence their operations against anti-genocide protests, fanning the flames of racist Zionist hate depicted in today’s car attack & beyond.
