Chaos on campus: The NYPD responds to pro-Palestinian protests


Listen Later

This week, the NYPD descended upon Columbia University, the City College of New York and Fordham University, arresting hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters. The department has faced scrutiny over the move, as the Adams administration points to “outside agitators” being key to organizing the protests. NY1 investigative reporter Courtney Gross and political reporters Bobby Cuza and Dan Rivoli examined the protests, the actions of the NYPD and the response by university officials. They also discussed if the protests drew attention to the cause or whether the dialogue has only been about how the protestors were dealt with.

After that, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office asked for a retrial for Harvey Weinstein, after the movie producer’s 2020 rape conviction was overturned by an appeals court last week. The “Off Topic” team discussed the potential difficulty the prosecution faces, as well as how overturning this case is a significant blow to the #MeToo movement.
