'We had to do something': NYC mayor cites 'outside agitators', student safety as reason for arrests
#Columbia #Protests #Gaza
Dear Mayor - College Students are not Children, they are young Adults. - You do not call 18 year old military as Children do you?
th protestors are not students. They are Paid to protest and disrupt. LIKE BLM and Antifa did in 2020, Another election year.
Spot on.
Imagine think it’s ok to make 18 year olds into killing machines. What’s it like being a moral black hole?
Emotionally, they are very much children.
This is the US not Israel where you shoot Palestinian kids and call them terrorists
Mr. Mayor, STOP CALLING THEM CHILDREN, unless they're under 18 and are minors, they're ADULTS that must take responsibility for their actions.
Their actions are valid and just and the university must stop funding genocide
MSNBC is such a corporate joke
Seriously glazing Israel for this entire segment.
"Outside agitators” ans "Terrorists” can you please provide details in terms of their names (identities" and number of such individuals- so we can have a clearer idea?
They can't because it is all lies.
Really, let's look at this "professional chain" that anyone who wants to keep their bike in New York City WOULD use to lock their bike and go with the theory that terrorists use these kinds of chains. LOL smh at the display.
Jewish students
@@jpunx3133 What a charade eh?
MSNBC isn't going to do that because they're ANTIFA and MSNBC completely supported them during the Anti-Trump BLM riots a few years back.
Can we stop calling 18+ year Olds children?
Call the orange cult leader a toddler instead since it fits.
Considering the education system is embarrassing, I'd say most 18 year olds have about a 4th grade education by the time they hit college.
@@DarthSailorMoo
Rent free. 24/7
We can refer to them as young adults because teenagers brains are not mature until the mid-twenties. People pretend that our decision to give 18 year olds the title of adult somehow makes it okay to punish them as adults while hypocritically recognizing they are still immature and impulsive in many ways.
@@pc4mlc451 That's why the right loves them so much.
College students are adults, not children. It is insulting and demeaning to call them children.
what did you know when you were 18 ??
@@direwolf6234I knew how to sign my life over on the draft
They should pay back their student loan like adults.
Oh for f*cks sake, they ARE children. Get over yourself. Maybe find something real to get offended about, because getting offended over THAT is just dumb.
It's insulting to most of us to call Trump an adult when he behaves like a 6yo child.
Children??
Pathetic and unconscionable.
Be reasonable just blame it on Trump
@@jorgebklyn1I blame the left-wingers who think being progressive means anti-American
THEY ARE NOT CHILDREN !!!!!!! MR MAYOR
Hamas says they're just as impressionable as children
They're acting like children, so they are
Hate to point out the obvious, but whenever there are peaceful protests happening (sit-ins, camp-outs, marches, etc) & “outside agitators” decide to show up to make noise, they’re ALWAYS people of the right-wing persuasion … since people protesting violence don’t usually/ever resort to violence themselves!
This is true. It always seems to be the case.
@@kathrinekerns8398 It is not logical to think that true religious believers, would violently protest, against other protesters who are protesting the murder of unarmed, innocent people.
Exactly! And, right now, it tracks. The Right knows that the Hamas/Israel/Gaza thing is something they can use against President Biden, by claiming, thru some seriously convoluted...logic??.... that somehow it's Biden's fault. I still can't figure out how an ideological war that's been being fought for the last several centuries, up to and including to today, is Pres. Biden's fault. Not to mention that Biden is NOT the president of ISRAEL, and no matter how big of a hammer the US wields, there's ultimately only so much Biden can do to affect what is happening IN ANOTHER COUNTY. But here we are. The Right does do one thing better than the Left, 'sell a twisted message' and they sell it well. The Left doesn't have anything like the messaging machine the Right has. Unfortunately.
Oh, Mr. Obvious here has all of the answers. Your two cents isn't worth more than anyone elses two cents.
@@kathrinekerns8398 - are you being serious? When has this ever happened? 😆
100% of the violence covers from leftists.
So, who are the outside agitators?
Political operatives. Like in Jan 6th.
So, I guess the NAACP and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr were agitators?
Agreed, The teachers and students are listening to Hamas and Hamas alone.
@@gramdoherty4170 How can you even say that? The Palestinian people are not Hamas. The civilians are at the mercy of Hamas, who is using them as shields. The support here is for the Palestinian people, not for Hamas.
@@gramdoherty4170 Nonsense
majority of NYPD officers do not live near Columbia university. they are the outside aggitators
Lol liberals logic
Most illegal immigrants are not from America. They are the outside agitators.
Stupid comment.
So if someone is robbing you near Columbia call the outside agitators for help
and where do you live wise guy ?? not in gaza ....
Meanwhile, overnight at UCLA…
zionist attacked peaceful protesters and cops sat around and watched, but MSNBC would make u believe that both groups are responsible.
Interesting that he’s calling the students children… it’s the veneer of innocence and them not fully being responsible for their actions. 🤔
What actions? Exercising their freedom of speech?
That "professional agitators' lock" is the model recommended by the university to secure bikes and is sold in its bookstore. The reason such heavy locks are required is that people like Deputy Commissioner Shepard are responsible for preventing crime in the city.
When there were student protests during the Vietnam war there were also references to "outside agitators" i.e. don't want to admit that only "outside agitators" would be opposed to their country's policies.
OF COURSE there were "outside agitators" - who does anyone think paid for those huge clusters of $500 tents???
Why haven’t these people been expelled? Why should they be allowed to throw temper tantrums at the expense at everyone else?
You've arrested them. If they are really "outsiders," prove it. Put out the list.
Because it is a blue city, these people will not be held accountable. Bragg is too busy prosecuting his political rivals to do his real job.
They won't. They work for the establishment. Hired actors.
Scary people like lists of names so they don't deserve it
The protestors are not students. They are Paid to protest and disrupt. LIKE BLM and Antifa did in 2020, Another election year.
They won't. They're paid establishment goons.
Professional agitators? Where does one get that degree? 🤨
Or fake student ID cards
"Outside agitators". Back in the day, we called them alumni.
They may not have even been "alumni". Outside agitators aren't usually affiliated with the one doing the protest.
These days we call them ANTIFA
"It's only a legitimate protest if I have a personal stake in its success." - Anti-Palestinian Baby Boomers, 2024
Perhaps the ‘children’ in government would have better policies.
Outside agitators…. Not peaceful protesters
Thank you, NYPD for protecting the city and none violent students
That's bull the students have id cards, I want to know who they say are professional.
ANTIFA!
It’s all made up to smear the protestors
Yes ! We had to do something ! First , you had to resign for good !
They have reached the age of accountability and should be removed from The United States of America. God help us ❤
PLEASE talk about the facts that the Police were not going into the school or on grounds ,,, with guns drawn!!!! In Madison Wisconsin, the reporters are claiming that the Police had guns drawn !!!!
US does need to be worried about agitators!
'Outside agitators'? I haven't heard that line since I saw 'The Graduate', from the star of 'The Ropers'. It was funny then, and funny now.
Fiery Ivan went from San Antonio to the 3rd
The protestors are not students. They are Paid to protest and disrupt. LIKE BLM and Antifa did in 2020, Another election year.

These not just masked fascist students these well organized with antifa only stupid who thinks they just so called peaceful students ha look at Portland antifa took PSU and antifa was on video entering from the back window or the fake antifa press like Talia Jane with her antifa friends she not students yet she their and and she sleeps with them and last night she was hiding inside one of the buildings
" You're not one of those outside agitators" ? - line from "The Graduate"
I think when they broke into the building is when it stopped being a peaceful protest. The Mayor had to protect the University along with all people concerned. He may have misstated calling them children, but, the meaning of his words are the same. The NYPD did what they had to do, in a professional way. Kudos ..
Thank you for posting a sane and rational comment. Kudos to the NYPD. Thank you for not abusing your power and physically harming the students. The outcome could have been a lot worse.
PLEASE STAY WHEREVER YOU ARE, IGMO. THE PEACEFUL PROTESTS STOP BEING SUCH WHEN THE POLICE AND SECURITY VIOLENCE BEGAN
Genocide is not peaceful but acceptable??????

Outside agitators were funded by the idf.
I watched this on lots of different news channels,,,,, the University had the biggest problem with rioters that didn't belong in that college!!!! The police were so good about not reacting to the rioters who assaulted the Police!!!! Thank you,,, to the Police who handled this very well!!!
what news channels
Columbia University actually recommends those bike locks and have them for purchase on campus. Maybe NYPD should look into the bike theft problem a little more.
NYC out there batting 1000 with mayors 🙄
I find it extremely disturbing that some protesters display support for hamas terrorists, engage in violence, and harass Jewish students while the rest of them go along. None of this despicable behavior shows support for the Palestinian people. Why aren't the faculty helping them discern the difference?
Dear NYPD, that is the bike lock that students use if they want to keep their bike. I used a similar lock to that when I was in university in a rural section of America, it would be far more important in NY. I've had a bicycle stolen and since the police don't investigate bike thefts you end up with bike locks like that.
No, these are organic protests. We are the same youth who protested during the BLM protests. You have only trained us to get better at protesting against the state. There is no outside influence, only home grown spite against the police state we grew up and have lived in. We are heading towards a fascist country, and we will fight until we can no longer fight
Students vs “professional agitators”? 8:34 I want to see that data …
What happen to the peaceful and nonviolent protest that Mahatma Gandhi did that brought down the British rule of India. A guilt and shameful Hindu came up to Mahatma Gandhi and said in the religious war his family, his wife, daughter, and son, were massacred by the Muslims. He then massacred a Muslim family and felt deeply remorseful for what he had done. Mahatma Gandhi told the Hindu to find an orphan Muslim brother and sister whose parents were killed by Hindus and raises them as his family, but he must raise them in the Muslim faith.
How much is the taxpayer paying for all this - because Columbia Admin did nothing for weeks.
Hate speech is not protesting

Nah. I have friends who were there. They're embarrassed by these wanna-be terrorists.

One thing I will say...I think police have become better in their response. I remember Kent State U.
These little children are cosplaying as revolutionaries. They aren’t the least bit influential.
Perhaps, but they were doing it peacefully, and there is no excuse for siccing the cops on them.

Fairy or not, you don't have to take the boot that far.
Kudos to NYC police for a thorough and very professional response. Thank you Mayor Adams.👍
Mika! Joe! Stop supporting Israel!! Seriously
6:16 NYPD, thats my bike chain! Please give it back. My roommate borrowed it for the protest and now I really need it for finals. I already had a bike stolen this semester, which you guys still have done nothing about!
I do think the outside agitators names should be published.
AND THE TRUE NUMBERS OF COLUMBIA AFFILIATED STUDENTS WHO HAVE BEEN UNSUSPENDED POST VIOLENT ARRESTS
I figure as soon as they can aompile them, they will.
"They", "outside agitators". Prove it.
Who paid for all the $500 tents? (And, thanks for showing that you didn't even watch the video; he showed proof)
That chain was unusually large. If it is indeed a specialty item, NYPD, or perhaps FBI, should assign a detective to find out where it was bought, when it was bought, and who bought it.
In NYC you commonly use the Kryptonite Fuggetdabout it Chain and D-lock 6:14 .
It's a ~$150 chain, used commonly if you have a bike you plan to keep.
Alone it's not a sign of professional outside actors. The lock has a theft insurance you register for when you buy it.
You can’t be this stupid sir
Sounds like students are getting off Scott free
They aren't children!!!!!
Its the end of the semester. The colleges should go to online class. Then send everyone home but the graduates. Cut off the power, water, and food services. Without wi-fi, and dinning they will leave within 24 hours.
They should ask Israel, they pretty good at that. 🤷🤷
MSNBC … this is what you voted for … happy
before a full investigation, calling them outside (even international) disruptors is a stretch. do the investigation first before making these claims.
If the peaceful protest turn violent who does that benefit.....now you know who is trying to make them look violent.
All of this is happening under the Biden administration. Thank you for asking.
The protesters know full well that they cannot say anything that could be construed as anti-Semitic. There's lots of footage showing that the racial slurs are coming from agitators in a false flag operatioin
If a protest at the capitol building is labeled an insurrection, who does that help?
Why is he nervous
Sane people applaud you
Do what is right and you will go far
it's great they've been arrested, but they've probably been released already.
Why shouldn't they be released? They have rights just like the rest of us. Just like Trump was released after being charged with 91 felonies. You can't be that ignorant, can you?
Sounds like you don’t like freedom.
Sounds like you don’t like the first amendment. How DARE they speak out about the genocide of children. Ps- go look up the population break down of the west bank …. Refugees or children of refugees. 50% are children.
For 25 years, our youth has seen grown ups showing more and more violence towards each other and the governments: Seattle WTO riots, Rodney King riots of 94, Arab Spring of 2011, mass shootings in Virginia Tech, Parkland, Las Vegas, El Paso, Buffalo, Pittsburgh: Occupy Wall Street and the police actions towards them; Charlottesville, Summer of 2020 George Floyd protests and looting: Black Lives Matter protests: January 6, 2021 insurrection in Washington D.C.
This is the direct result of watching how grown ups act and then emulating them once they decide to show how they feel about a subject.
Our young people have learned that only shows of violence or threats of violence can get what they want.
Those students might as well have been children. Their actions were completely immature, unacceptable, intolerable, foolish, and disgusting. Children always believe that if they make enough of a fuss they get what they want. The mayor is absolutely right. For all intents and purposes, those students absolutely were children.
These idiots in leadership at Columbia let this mushroom and escalate to this degree
Why do Pro Israël approach to students encampment?
Are they becoming an enforcement authority?
No but NYPD learned by watching
Remember occupy wall street. The outside agitators were from the authorities.
Chains ? Anyone can get those at a hardware store. They are not that strange tools.
Wow - Kudos to NYPD. Sounds like they did a good job - credit. Glad you're catching up with agitators who are trying to take advantage. This is a good example of what to watch out for with our upcoming election. Everybody has done a good job - thanks.
I'm sorry, they are not children. They are over 18.
Eric Adams just lost the NY children's vote.
Good job, Mayor. Putin also arrests protesters "for their safety" and to "protect people from outside agitators". You should meet and exchange experience.
😂😂😂
Glad that NYPD is focusing on outside agitators and finding out what organization(s) they are repping. It's a good point that this was not a natural evolution of these protests. A natural evolution of these protests would have been for the realization to sink in that Congress finally passed bills for humanitarian aid for Palestinians in Gaza who are suffering, and that funding for Israel to defend itself against Hamas was also signed into law. This alone should have dismantled many of the protests, but outside agitators and propagandists drowned out this news, and mainstream media is not making this point to its viewing audience. Negligent and despicable on the part of mainstream media.
My eyes couldn’t roll far back enough into my head. So much propaganda so little intelligence.
You mean there are professional activists.................NOOO WAAAAYYYY
look no further than jan 6 ... no they are in jail ...
How Proud those good ol’ Boys must feel….. as good as 1/5?
Gotta love how they still avoid calling them who they reallly are 'ANTIFA'
why are you platforming a police PR person but no spokesperson for the protestors?
It's because it's Morning Joe. They always side with the establishment. They should be on fox not msnbc.
Why do we need to hear spokeperson for the protestors ? No excuse for any of them to occupy a college building and vandalize it.
Spokesperson for the Protestors???? Oh, you must mean the ANTIFA terrorists who came in to help out!
Where's the proof for anything they're saying????
Well said and well done! Mr. Mayor.. 👏
Does mayor Adams refer to 18 year old service members as "children"?
Are they ACTING like children?
This mayor would be better suited to Beijing.
Uh oh, anyone seen Ray Epps? 😆😆🤷♀️🤷♀️
No one should covers face while protesting. This kind of behavior should never be tolerated again anywhere for safety reason. You have right to protest but do not cover your face while protesting.
No one should be doxxed or expelled or blacklisted from employment for peacefully protesting either.

Common one at that. Called the NYC lock, even.
Odd it should be there
Show me that bike chain that you sell students, again? And that proves they weren't students, right?
Stop calling them children!
MSNBC for sure is going to blame Trump for this mess.
Hope this clears it up for First Amendment whiners: This is about conduct, not speech. These so-called protesters' conduct of disrupting and interrupting normal campus activity and the learning process of students is not free speech. Preventing students from accessing the education that they are paying for is not free speech.
Mayor Eric Adams, who tried to legalize having foreigners vote in his city... which foreigners do you think he was trying to court?
Melania Trump? Maybe some of those "foreigners" tightwad Trump brought over to work at slave wages on his properties?
Can't help but wonder what story these protests may be helping to cover up at this point...
What do you think is being covered up by this?

Where are the Palestinian roots? Fathi Hamad, the interior minister in the Hamas government in the Gaza Strip said... "we all have Arab roots and every Palestinian in Gaza and all over Palestine can prove their Arab roots, whether they be in Saudi Arabia and Yemen, or anywhere else. Speaking personally, half of my family is Egyptian," he said. There are over 30 families in the Gaza Strip with the surname Al-Masri, 'Egyptian.' Brothers, half of the Palestinians are Egyptian, and the other half are Saudi. Who are the Palestinians? We have many families called Al-Masri whose roots are Egyptian!
