In the early morning hours last week, and at the request of NY University and The New School, NYPD officers cleared the illegal encampments from their properties with unparalleled professionalism, and without incident.
These protestors are organized and well-funded. What is also clear is that our youth are being radicalized and in some cases have been encouraged to escalate their protests into violence.
Look no further than some of the examples of inflammatory signage and literature. The radicalization is real. We proudly defend everyone’s right to exercise the First Amendment, but lawlessness will not be tolerated.
