DC mayor orders police to not respond to request from GWU

D.C. police rejected pleas from George Washington University officials to clear pro-Palestinian demonstrators out of an on-campus encampment early Friday morning, saying they worried about the optics of moving against a small number of peaceful protesters, according to two officials familiar with the talks.
quote:
Officers had assembled around 3 a.m. Friday and were prepared to enter the encampment, but senior leaders in the police chief’s and mayor’s office ordered them to stand down, the officials said. The demonstrators were small in number and largely peaceful, and the city officials told their university counterparts they wanted to avoid images of violent altercations between police and protesters flashing on TV screens across the country. The George Washington campus in downtown Washington, five blocks from the White House.
quote:
A spokeswoman for George Washington University did not answer questions about school officials’ discussions with law enforcement authorities. The school said in a statement, “After demonstrators refused multiple instructions to relocate, GWPD requested additional support from the DC Metropolitan Police to ensure the safety and security of all our community members through a measured and orderly approach.”
quote:
Chuck Wexler, the executive director of the Police Executive Research Forum, which advises law enforcement agencies on best practices, said it is rare that an agency would turn down a request from a university to clear unwanted demonstrators from its campus, which is private property. At protests over the war in Gaza on other college campuses, police have sometimes sparred with demonstrators as they have sought to make arrests and break up encampments.

That fricking Mayor.
Guarantee if they were doing this in front to the Capitol every DC cop would be rolling in tactical gear.

Make the mayor take the pro-Hamas shite off statue of GW and make that mayor wear the pro-Hamas clothing and stickers all over her communist body.
Any mayor that is a pro-Hamas needs to be recalled

Remember anyone on the right is in a cult. Those who are pro terrorist are the righteous ones.

This is why I have less of a problem with vigilante justice than most.
Our legal and CJ system is broken. We have to take things into our own hands at times.

Congress needs to assert control again and remove the DC's mayor's power to do anything.

If nothing else, the police should march in and take that shite off the statue of Washington -- and arrest anyone who tries to stop them or deface the statue further.

If it was any worse they would do something about it. Right?

If hold the mayor, and the city of DC accountable now for any damage done, and by students who have any grievances that come from these protests from this point forward.
Commicrats are destructive no doubt.

Time for Congress to revoke Home Rule, and take back control of the city.

This is why in third world countries you must have your own private security. The official law enforcement is only there to protect the government. You, comrade, must protect yourself.

Anything goes so long as it promotes the demoncrapic agenda.

I feel like it's time the LSU and Ole Miss frats took a little road trip. Great fundraising op too; plus maximum shite stirring

I wonder what their excuse would if one the protesters shanked somebody after the mayor blocked the police from removing them

Wonder if the DC Major is on the Saudi payroll?
