What’s this about?
cop got on the news and used a bike lock chain that was used to barricade the building as “proof” that the protestors were infiltrated by professional agitators, because it was an “industrial chain” or something like that. its the bike lock that Columbia University itself recommends to students.
Versus some of that old fashioned homemade chain. HOW ARE THESE PROFESSIONAL PROTESTORS GETTING THEIR HANDS ON COMMERCIAL-GRADE METALS???
Of course they do know there are professional agitators at the protests, they’re them.
Let me guess, hardened steel? Because that’s how you keep your bike from getting stolen in New York. Kryptonite calls it the “fahgettaboudit” lock for a reason.
The governor of NY, and former cop, justified the police response to the anti-genocide protests at Columbia with a statement about “outside agitators”. When pressed on that, the governor essentially said it was a gut feeling.
It was the mayor not the governor
Probably the Columbia University protests. I expect this means someone was arrested for having a bike lock (which can be used as a bludgeon).
They were using the bike locks to claim that the protesters had ties to terrorist organizations, because “it’s not the kind of thing a normal student has.”
Despite the fact that the exact model of bike lock was part of a deal on bike locks advertised by the CU campus security on Facebook not 6 weeks ago.
Wow, I think that is an instant winner for the annual “most dogshit excuse for cops to do a thing” award.
I think the students had chained the doors with bike locks, and the police are trying to claim the chains constitute professional involvement.
This also sounds like a reasonable explanation.
It was used to close one of the doors of the building they occupied
This also sounds like a reasonable explanation.
If you consistently have a strong hunch it’s probably time to see a doctor.
If hunches last longer then four hours
Who has a bike lock in NYC? famously you can trust to find your bike where you left it in NYC.
This a joke? NYC is crime rampant
Whoosh
Sarcasm doesn’t read over text
While that is generally the rule, I found this one to be the exception. There are a few things New York city is known for, let alone every other major city in the world.
Not everyone is aware of the cultural particularities of American cities. My idea of crime of crime in NYC is fangs in the 80s.
We are very close to seeing a lot more than bike locks.
After what I saw at UCLA I am afraid it is only a matter of time before some pro-zionist fuck brings a gun.
Plot twist, Rafael is a cop.
Bake 'em away, toys!
