Top New York City Police Department officials slammed Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) on Thursday for demonizing law enforcements
response to anti-Semitic protests on Columbia Universitys campus.
Ocasio-Cortez responded to a video posted on X that showed NYPD
counterterrorism officers on campus who were there to ensure that the
far-left extremists did not become violent.
Not only did Columbia make the horrific decision to mobilize NYPD on
their own students, but the units called in have some of the most
violent reputations on the force, she claimed. NYPD had promised the
city they wouldnt deploy SRG [Strategic Response Group] to protests.
So why are these counterterror units here? she asked.
NYPD Chief of Patrol John Chell fired back at AOC: Truly amazing!
Columbia decided to hold its students accountable to the laws of the
school. They are seeing the consequences of their actions. Something
these kids were most likely never taught. Good SAT scores and self-
entitlement do not supersede the law. I am sure you would agree that we
have to teach them these valuable life skills.
Secondly, I was with those units last Thursday that you describe as
having, the most violent reputations. These units removed students
with great care and professionalism, not a single incident was
reported, he continued. The only incidents that day on campus were
the students hateful anti-Semitic speech and vile language towards our
cops. I am sure you agree any hateful speech is unacceptable. You
should rethink your comments to a simple thank you to the NYPD and hate
has no place in our society.
Chell said that AOC should visit the campus and listen to their
remarks of pure hatred.
I will ensure those units will protect you as they do for all NYers
24/7/365, he added. Lack of accountability = consequences. Hate from
anyone, anywhere has no place in our city and country.
NYPD Deputy Commissioner Kaz Daughtry also responded to AOCs remarks
on X: Everyone has a Constitutional right to protest, its one of the
pillars our great democracy is built on. But kids also have a right to
go to school without being harassed, threatened, intimidated or
assaulted.
There is nothing horrific about protecting the safety of Columbias
young students who are just trying to go to school, he continued.
Weve said it time and time again, the NYPD will always protect and
defend your right to protest but just because you hold a sign while
youre threatening, harassing, intimidating and assaulting people
doesnt give you a free pass from criminal conduct.

Being anti-Semitic and spewing hate to kids will never ever be
tolerated in our city, he added. Our officers are the best and most
highly trained law enforcement professionals in the world. Everyday,
they have to endure insults, threats, and hate speech merely because
the uniform they wear as they try to keep the peace and protect
everyones rights. I encourage you @AOC to visit Columbia and do a walk
through; I promise our officers will, like always, do their job, and
protect you like they have protected everyone on campus regardless of
what your political beliefs are. Well also take a report if you feel
threatened.
