The body cam footage finally released today of 19-year-old #WinRozario ’s killing by the NYPD is nauseating.

No one should have to fear that calling for help could turn deadly. Win deserved better. He should still be alive.

Mayor Eric Adams Edward A. Caban Justice Committee Contrary to the NYPD's lies that began soon after Win was killed, the video shows that the way these cops came in created a crisis situation. Win’s family is calling for @nycmayor & Edward A. Caban to fire both officers and for NY AG James to prosecute them.

From jump, Officers Alongi & Cianfrocco used insulting, disrespectful language when they entered the home of #WinRozario . They created a crisis, barked orders, tased & shot Win. Mayor Eric Adams Edward A. Caban police should NOT be responding to mental health crises! bit.ly/WinFamilyState…

Today NY AG James released horrifying bodycam footage of Officers Salvatore Alongi & Matthew Cianfrocco murdering #WinRozario in front of his mother & brother, in his family’s home. Please read and share the Rozario family’s statement! DRUM #CeasefireNow justicecommittee.org/post/family-of…

So the NYPD was kicking out journalists during the raids on campus so that they could have exclusive access.... to film an avengers movie??

NYPD's communications/PR budget is $5 Million. 🤔wonder what else we could spend that on #CareNotCuts #PeoplesBudget

'The recent attacks by the #NYPD on college students expressing their First Amendment rights is unconscionable... This authoritarianism from so-called Democratic leadership will only alienate young voters.'

#CeasefireNOW

STATEMENT: vocal-ny.com/7se

The police presence we saw last night at Columbia and City College was hostile, overwhelming, and resulted in nearly 300 arrests.

Reports suggest that the NYPD pepper sprayed, threw to the ground, and even drew weapons on students.

This is deplorable.

PLEASE SHARE: We are concerned that several CCNY students who have been arrested, predominantly students of color, have spent their 2nd night in jail and have yet to be arraigned. NY law requires arraignment within 24 hrs of arrest.

We demand their prompt processing and release.

Violent police repression of social activism must not be how our leaders and our schools meet this moment.

Our statement:

JC and Communities United for Police Reform condemn the violent mass arrests & brutalizing of City College of NY & Columbia University students/faculty and NYPD's dangerous militarized tactics. Please read and share this statement by JC's ED + CPR spokesperson Loyda Colon: changethenypd.org/releases/state…

STATEMENT: In response to the violence by the NYPD in riot gear against student protesters at City College of NY and Columbia University last night and at multiple schools over the past weeks:

“As an organization that believes in the power of community action and, in particular, the capacity…

Mayor Adams should seize the role of being Mayor.

NYWFP Co-Director Ana Maria Archila🦋🐺: the police response was “reckless, escalatory and put the entire university community in harm’s way. This is a shameful day in our city’s history, and one that will not be forgotten.”

So many people poured flames on the fire.

Mayor Adams’ inflammatory rhetoric of infiltration & pressure on Columbia for more aggressive policing consistently made things worse.

Woke up to the disturbing news of the NYPD arresting student protestors at Columbia and City College last night.

Feeling both sad & angry that step after step, escalation by those who are supposed to lead took things in the wrong direction.

The NYPD has also begun encrypting their radio transmissions.

When the police and universities block the press, but the head of the NYPD’s press office rolls up to scene on the roof of an MRAP truck, the narrative will only be controlled by NYPD NEWS

What happened last night at Columbia and CCNY was unacceptable.

Sending swarms of NYPD officers to kettle and arrest students nonviolently protesting the massacre of Palestinians does not make anyone safer.

Blocking reporters from the scene is a threat to our very democracy.

Last night was the darkest moment in the Adams administration.

We will never forget what your NYPD did to our students.

The brutality we witnessed last night now is what happens when a mass movement rises up with a message that people in power want to silence and violently repress.
