Students arrested during the police crackdown on protests at universities in New York City last week were denied water and food for 16 hours, according to two faculty members at Columbia University’s Barnard College who collected reports from students who were inside....
Why do so many take articles like this at face value?
The students who were arrested and sent to jail reported to the two staff members afterwards who then reported to a student-reporter who attends the same University and is a protestoer herself and none of this is biased? All of this is third-person and we need more sources other than the students themselves.
Everyone who leaves jail complains about the treatment. But now they can now go back to protesting peacefully because it is their right and I'm okay with that, just the vandalism.
Edit: are we really pretending that a student isn't an adult? They are adults and not children, right? Where are they supposed to put grown adult college students? Student jail?
Edit 2: Gosh, we really don't like pointing out that they were privileged University students that have probably never seen a jail cell and probably. Even the journalist who wrote this is a student from City University.
The conditions we’re hearing about are inhumane,” Mitra told The Intercept. “They take away the dignity of every person in there.”
First, the point is that the only information comes from a student--journalist (who attends the same University mentioned) who interviewed the two teachers feom the same University who spoke to the students who didn't like jail.
Secondly, would it surprise you that everyone in jail has access to a phone?
Pointless vandalism is still pointless, but at least the antiwar protests in the US were by US citizens and were primarily about opposition to US involvement in a conflict US soldiers had no business being in because there were no US assets at stake.
These protesters have unrealistic expectations and goals. Just look at the divesting demands. Due to their age, very few of these college kids understand the reality of where the money they want divested is/going/coming from. Direct investments rarely reflect the full scope of a college's portfolio. Divest from Google, Apple, and Nike then but they won't ditch their smart phones or shoes.
I thought they would have learned about this stuff in college.
It is obvious that you truly have no idea what you are talking about nor have you been inside of a NY jail in any capacity. The police dont keep people from making phone calls, despite your this isnt the movies line of reasoning. It isn't a conspiracy to silence the protestors, I promise. I'm also sure they would have reported on that when they spoke to the reporter so we know they weren't prevented from making phone calls due to any security reason or that would have been reported on as well.
As to your statement, yes, phones calls are subject to reasonable restrictions related to security but, No, they don't arbitrarily prevent you from using a phone. There are actual phone kiosks in NYC jails. Hell, all jail phone calls have been free since 2019 (Intro 0741, pass by NYC council) from 7am to 11pm.
Then there is New York State Assembly Bill 2023-A6484that allows inmates in state and local correctional facilities to make free, confidential phone calls to attorneys and legal service providers.
Furthermore, Chapter 11-A, Part 2, Title H, Article 120, Section 90, Subsection 8 of New York Criminal Procedural Law is the literal law that entitles anyone arrested in the state of New York to communicate by phone. (Link)
In New York, if you are arrested or detained, you are legally entitled to a phone call. But please, go ahead and argue.
Dear Reddit users: downvotes because you dislike facts (with links to state sites) don't mean anything on Lemmy. Sry, not sry.
User name checks out because this isn't the flex you think it is.
Only one college, Evergreen State College, has "agreed" so far to divest any holdings linked with Israel. A few others, like Brown and Northwestern University, have simply said that they will disclose their investment exposure to Israel at a later time.
And Evergreen's memorandum that was released by the school simply stated that the student encampment will end in exchange for the school looking into its investments and possibly divesting from Israel. ONCE MORE: Looking into & possibly divesting
These are what they call stall tactics.
And stop pretending the protestors didn't spray paint free gaza, free palestine and intifada this and that all over the walls in the library. That's pointless vandalism, not protesting.
What are you even rambling about? Who said anything about calling up newspapers? My 12 year old nephew has a better reading comprehension then you do.
Yes, invalid conplaints. The linked article literally says, "according to two faculty members." The entire article and conversation is based on the the third-hand account from these two faculty members after tapking to the students who were arrested who were upset that they spent a day in jail. Sort of strange that not a single other newspaper or online publication is reporting on this though.
Also keep in mind that this article was written by a student from City University. The same University that is mentioned in the article. But of course, there is no way the student-reporter is biased at all.
Where did I justify anything? I simply stated facts and pointed out that the article is written by a student who attended the protest and goes to school at City U. And I said that now they can go protest peacefully, which is their right.
And it doesn't matter whose perspective it is. The students were arrested, spent a night in jail, and were released. Minor charges if they don't get dropped. This story is full of students complaining about how shitty jail was and stretching the truth.
Do you honestly believe the students, while in admitted general pop, somehow were singled out and not fed? I promise you that those students were forgotten by staff the moment the were booked and treated just like everyone else, which is what the students in the article are complaining about:
The conditions we’re hearing about are inhumane,” Mitra told The Intercept. “They take away the dignity of every person in there.”
Yeah, that's jail in most cities.
I just wonder why literally no one is reporting on this if even some of it has truth.
I just wanted to peek at the front page. I guess they don't want people to use their shit anymore. I'm starting to believe in the dead internet theory.
YouTube first spoke about pause ads last year when it started trialing them in select regions. At the time, the company said that when you pause a video, it will shrink, and an ad will appear next to it....
The mods and adm8ns using all bots for everything now and the ads.
I also got suspended for 3 days for harassing a bot by replying "Hahaha" to an automated message from a r/teslalounge automod telling me I'm banned because I commented in another sub making fun of the Cyber Truck.
Whem laughing at bots is harrasment, its time to run.
Reddit is a joke now.
Use of Twitter in the US alone has slumped by more than a fifth since Elon Musk bought the site. 23% less usage is a big drop in general, let along from a single country.
So now it is similar to the dead internet where a fair amount of engagement is fake. I logged on a few weeks back and I had dozens of comments and messages from Stacys, Jessicas, Amandas, Jessicas, and Laura's. Funny how I attract only women with those names.
A top Hamas political official told The Associated Press the Islamic militant group is willing to agree to a truce of five years or more with Israel and that it would lay down its weapons and convert into a political party if an independent Palestinian state is established along pre-1967 borders.
4 or 5 other times it was offered and every time it was shot down by the PA because either it wasn't from the river to the sea or all jews have to leave.
It was never about sharing, it was about keeping it all to themselves.
That was in the 70's, he was killed by a student, not the government.
And the PA, including Yasser Arafat, have turned it down 4 or 5 times. Yasser Arafat turned it down last time in 2002/2004(?). They have never taken it seriously.
Women are assholes too and this has ti be one of the dumbest acreenshots ive ever seen. Let's just play a word game where we swap out genders:
The only kind of woman who says, "Not all women are ashholes," is an asshole. If you really were a "nice woman," you'd be saying, "Wow, lots of women are fucking assholes to men. Let's do something to change that."
It's really that simple.
Especially because, by saying "not all men!!!," you are conceding that, yes, some women. Some women are assholes.
So, like, you'll admit there's a problem but you won't do anything about it? You won't join us in trying to stop it? Then you definitely are one of those women, pal. You're not one of the "nice women."
The problem is that Gaeilge (Gaelic) is the national language and it would simply cost twice the amount to paint Bus Lane underneath Lána Bus and the Irish government is cheap af just like most governments. And lazy.
When Spotify announced its largest-ever round of layoffs in December, CEO Daniel Ek hailed a new age of efficiency at the streaming giant. But four months on, it seems he and his executives weren’t prepared for how tough filling in for 1,500 axed workers would be....
Oh god. Don't tell me this is a pro-hamas post. All it is missing is idiots calling everything hasbara or some other buzz word.
China doesn't allow any other apps in their country so why should America allow Chinese apps? America shouldn't keep Chinese malware out of our networks because... ya'll are addicted to TikTok?
This isn't about Palestine. Not everything is hasbara and because of Israel. TikTok isn't the voice of freedom or reason. Ya'll just brainwashed by Chinese algorithms designed to upset the user base. The algorithm is doing what it is supposed to do: create division.
It isnt about past data, it’s about current data and trends. It’s also about a foreign government controlling what another government’s citizens see through an algorithm.
I have a small consulting company. I had a client hand me a non-compete. He listed my name and that I essentially couldn't work for any IT entity in the state. I signed it.
I don't do business as me, I do business as my company. And it was 100% unenforceable since he was trying to say that by doing a single job for his company would prevent me from doing business with his competitors. His lawyer even laughed about it when reaching out as he knew it was a sad attempt to force contractors to accept his contracts over other entities.
Even he didn't know how they work and he was handing them out like candy.
Cracker ass settler is probably the dumbest thing I've read online today considering you're a fucking American that writes everywhere about how evil Amerika is.
You're a few IQ points short of an actual thought so I'll just let this one go and chop it up to TikTok brain rot.
Here is a game: Swap the words and see how it sounds. It it still doesn't sound bad, then your just an idiot and we can't help you.
All lsraeli violence against Gaza is self defense
Also, based on your previous comments: You are working a dead-end job in the US, complain you are poor, and complain a lot about jews, coon-minstrels, and crackers . Your comments read like a privileged 20-something that can't figure out to do anything but complain and blame everyone else.
Just like reddit, your comments are public and my god you truly are a walking poster for why not everyone should have children.
Some of your comments are just so asinine and backwards. You'll complain about zionists and then immediately cry about lore in a video game while saying Amerika is bad while talking about how evil Biden.
