After the arrests of pro-Palestine student protesters occupying a Columbia University building last month, New York Mayor Eric Adams and senior police officials repeatedly said there were "no injuries," no "violent clashes" and minimal force used.

But at least nine of the 46 protesters arrested inside the barricaded Hamilton Hall on April 30 sustained injuries beyond minor scrapes and bruises, according to medical records, photographs shared by protesters, and interviews. The documented injuries included a fractured eye socket, concussions, an ankle sprain, cuts, and injured wrists and hands from tight plastic flexicuffs.

You don't understand, those injuries, like all injuries that occur in the vicinity of cops, were self-inflicted!

Oh, do they mean the unconstitutional arrests of peaceful protesters?

Once a cop, always a cop. Eric Adams is a bastard.

Typically police will try 'well no one complained so we must have done okay'

It was just as clear that those kids were faking their injuries as the Palestinians were faking dead children. Which is to say that the injuries were very real.
