@fkamiah17 #Dartmouth claims this was a condition of bail the university opposes, but it's completely ridiculous and unconscionable no matter who imposed the ban.

Not surprised Chris Sununu would send state police just on spec.

"Jeff Sharlet, a bestselling author and fellow Jewish faculty member at Dartmouth, told JTA that he spotted state riot police at the protest even though the college said it only called in local police."

Oh FFS. I got Dartmouth mixed up with Fordham. I'm sorry and will delete the Adams/Hochul references. I was just primed to shit on Adams because of all the crap the NYPD has been pulling at Columbia.

And your reminder that it's New Hampshire, thus Chris Sununu rather than Kathy Hochul, makes the surprise arrival of state police more understandable for me.

@LinuxAndYarn @Jonathanglick Tbf you could shit on Adams every day of the week about something.

@Jonathanglick @fkamiah17 I suspect Metro North would somehow be involved.

A cruel bit of irony that well-illustrates the ridiculousness of these universities calling in their local brute-squads to bash heads.

It's like, "did that Buffalo PD cop lose his job and move to New Hampshire"?

@ferricoxide There's actually an article in the replies with further information about it, if you're interested 👍 🥰
