After Raids, #NYPD Denied Student #Protesters Water and Food in Jail
Two college protesters were placed in solitary confinement, according to Columbia professors who worked in real time to support jailed #students.
by Akela Lacy
May 6 2024"Students arrested during the police crackdown on protests at universities in New York City last week were denied water and food for 16 hours, according to two faculty members at #ColumbiaUniversity’s #BarnardCollege who collected reports from students who were inside.
"Other students reported that they were beaten by New York City Police Department officers after their arrests and taken to the hospital for injuries before being returned to central booking. Photos of the injuries were provided to The Intercept.
"Police arrested 282 protesters at Columbia University and the #CityCollege of New York. According to the professors, they ended up at one of two jails downtown: NYPD headquarters or the Manhattan Criminal Courthouse.
"'The conditions we’re hearing about are inhumane. They take away the dignity of every person in there.'
"Students arrested during the crackdown said at least two of them were put in solitary confinement for three hours and others reported much longer stays, according to Barnard College professor #ShayoniMitra and a tenured faculty member who asked for anonymity to protect their livelihood. The faculty members were working to support jailed students. (The NYPD did not immediately respond to a request for comment.)
"Other students reported that they were held in mouse-infested cells, along with the general population of the jail. The students told the professors that they weren’t given water or food for 16 hours and that at least one student was left without shoes for the same period of time.
"'The conditions we’re hearing about are inhumane,' Mitra told The Intercept. 'They take away the dignity of every person in there.'
"Police forces and state troopers raided university protests at dozens of campuses across the country last week. Nationwide, police have arrested more than 2,500 people, according to an arrest tracker from The Appeal."

I’ve Covered Violent Crackdowns on #Protests for 15 Years. This #Police Overreaction Was Unhinged.
When police attacked student #protesters, a lone trash can was the only damaged property I saw around City College of New York.
Between #Columbia and #CityCollege, over 200 protesters — almost all #students — were arrested before the night was out.
Brutal policing and groundless excuses are nothing new, nor is bipartisan support for the crackdowns.

The fact that City College of San Francisco is not free to all San Franciscans, regardless of immigration status, continues to aggravate me.
Currently, eligibility for undocumented folks hinges on the criteria set forth by the California bills AB 540, AB 130, AB 2000, and SB 68.
Most people who arrived here as adults will not meet these criteria, even if they’ve lived in San Francisco for decades and despite the fact that they might have so much to gain from the education City College offers.
