A police officer who was involved in clearing protesters from a Columbia University administration building earlier this week fired his gun inside the hall, a spokesperson for District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office confirmed Thursday.
No one was injured, according to spokesperson Doug Cohen, who said there were other officers but no students in the immediate vicinity. He said Bragg’s office is conducting a review.
He did not provide additional details on the incident, which was first reported by news outlet The City.
The New York Police Department did not immediately respond to The Associated Press’ request for comment.
And so it begins … again.
The protesters should try being rightwingers. They could beat the cops with fire extinguishers and flagpoles and just get a slap on the wrist.
Unironically, if they were armed the cops wouldn’t fuck with them
Or they’d just toss frag grenades in, not sure
It’s not a frag grenade, just a little assist one.
You know a lot of them are getting multi-year federal prison sentences, right?
A few years for insurrection involving assaulting police officers and threatening the lives of our nations highest elected officials.
He did not stutter. That’s a slap on the wrist.
