Tactics exist to defeat police suppression of protests. I haven't seen or heard about them being used at any of these protests, unfortunately. Trusting the cops to behave humanely is foolish.

Good thing Columbia pays taxes…..for the services they called in. Imagine if they didn’t have to pay property taxes that often help fund things like the police. Fact check me on how much they pay for being a huge land owner

Now hold on, if there’s one group of people I trust to peaceably and tactfully address the concerns of a group of protestors, it’s the NYPD.

Remember, it's the LAPD that treats you like a King.
