Watch the clip here.
This is no longer a peaceful protest. This is a riot. The NYPD has a responsibility to go in. The leadership and the college, now has a responsibility to protect their students, and to protect their buildings, and to protect their institution. The commencement ceremony should not be interrupted, this can be ended. It can be ended today with the help of the NYPD. NYPD are some of the most skilled police officers in the entire world. They are able to handle mass protests like this. They are able to handle riots.
