In bringing in thousands of police with batons, shields, less-lethal grenades, and chemical weapons to brutalize student protesters, the administration of Columbia University shows that all of its rhetoric about "student safety" is mendacious. Like the other university administrations around the country that have done the same thing, they are simply pursuing profit and authoritarian control.
If we want people in Palestine, students in the United States, or anyone else to be safe, it's up to us.

Every time a mercenary puts on an NYPD uniform, selling their capacity to inflict violence to the highest bidder, they are committing treason against humanity.
We salute the courage of those occupying the university. This struggle is far from over.
