  • Dozens of pro-Palestinian protesters were arrested at Columbia University after New York police, responding to a request from University President Minouche Shafik, entered the campus with hundreds of officers to raid a Gaza solidarity encampment inside a university building.
    The police action follows a directive to clear buildings and maintain a presence on campus to prevent the re-establishment of encampments.

    Standing up for humanity and against genocide is NOT anti-Semitic.

      You do know the abuses committed in the name of Islam ? Standing for humanity means standing against Islam , or do you agree with slavery ? Do you agree with child marriages ? Do you agree with death for homosexuals ? Is no then why support Islam ?

      Domestically, US police, national guard and FBI are to serve and protect the established plutocrats oligarchs.
      CIA is US foreign agent to serve same people but abroad, it’s designed to destabilize other countries, topple government and install U.S. puppet government, so it can steal countries national resources and assets. This is how imperialist operates.

    In New York City, the Mayor holds significant authority over the New York City Police Department (NYPD). As the elected leader of the city, the Mayor appoints the Police Commissioner, who oversees the day-to-day operations of the NYPD. While the Mayor and the Police Commissioner can provide guidance and set policies for the NYPD, the department operates within the framework of local and state laws.
    In situations involving protests, the Mayor plays a crucial role in coordinating police actions. This can include making decisions about the deployment of officers, the use of crowd control tactics, and the overall approach to managing the protest. The Mayor may communicate directly with the Police Commissioner and other high-ranking officials to provide instructions and guidance on how to respond to protests.
    While the Mayor's involvement in coordinating police actions during protests is part of their duties as the city's leader, it is essential that these actions are carried out in accordance with the law and respect the rights of protesters. If the Mayor's directives result in unjust or illegal crackdowns on peaceful protests, they can be held responsible for these actions.
    If there are allegations or evidence suggesting that the Mayor is using the police to suppress legal protests illegally, it raises serious concerns about their commitment to upholding civil liberties and respecting the rights of citizens. In such cases, it may be necessary for citizens to hold the Mayor accountable through legal challenges, advocacy efforts, and other means of seeking justice.
    Engaging in legal challenges to address such actions involves a multifaceted approach. Firstly, it requires thorough documentation and gathering of evidence to substantiate claims of misconduct or abuse of power. This might include eyewitness testimonies, video recordings, and expert analysis of police conduct during protest events.
    Legal challenges may take the form of seeking injunctions or court orders to protect the rights of protesters and prevent further suppression. This could involve filing lawsuits against the city or specific individuals within the government, including the Mayor and high-ranking police officials, alleging violations of constitutional rights, such as the right to free speech and peaceful assembly.
    To support these legal challenges, it's essential to enlist the expertise of skilled attorneys and civil rights organizations experienced in litigating cases involving police misconduct and violations of civil liberties. These legal advocates can provide guidance on legal strategies, navigate the complexities of the judicial system, and advocate for the protection of protesters' rights in court.
    Additionally, legal challenges may also involve advocacy efforts to raise awareness and garner public support for the protesters' cause. This could include organizing community forums, public hearings, and media campaigns to educate the public about the issues at stake and mobilize grassroots support for legal action against unjust police practices and government overreach.
    engaging in legal challenges to address corrupt or unjust police actions coordinated by the Mayor requires a concerted effort involving rigorous documentation, legal expertise, strategic advocacy, and community mobilization. By holding government officials accountable through legal means, citizens can seek justice, defend civil liberties, and uphold the principles of democracy.
