Also tonight, live reports from coasttocoast is protests spread to more schools with communities and please struggling over how to respond and with his trial and recess today, the former president goes campaigning, trying to make Student Unrest of issue. Good evening. Thanks for joining us. We begin again tonight with the latest from University Campuses nationwide, where in just the last 24 hours, hundreds of demonstrators have been arrested. The lions share at new yorks Columbia University Late Last Night last night we brought you an exclusive look as it happened from cnns Julia Vargas Jones and our photographer, were the only Television Crew who broadcasting live from campus. Now tonight, another exclusive seen as john miller himself, a former new York Deputy Police commissioner, is the first and only reported to obtain nypd Body Cam Video from officers as they carried out the operation last night . He joins us now. So i havent seen the video tell us about it. Well, you know, weve been talking past 24 hours about according to Columbia Universitys president , a protester snuck into the building and then hit there till after the building was closed. And then covertly lead in dozens of other people who then took over the building barricaded it with an elaborate network and layers of debris and furniture and chains and lots and bicycle locks and smashed all the Security Cameras. So police to retake that building really have their work cut out for them. And this is their video from their bodycam of going in to Hamilton Hall. Lets take a look the retaking of Hamilton Hall by the nypd at the front door, students singing a protest song the first layer, a tangle of barricades metal tables, and chairs stacked and tied to the doorway outside police break a window through a vestibule, more furniture and debris the door changed shut police use a high powered electric saw then a hydraulic tool, the jaws the life in an attempt to breach the door, but it wouldnt budge not. Finally, they break through in fronted by another Tangling Layers of furniture chains, and metal grading police said unable to see beyond the barricades, they deploy Distraction Devices upon entry with loud bangs and blinding flashes the disorient anyone who might have posed a threat it took six minutes and 40 seconds to reach the layers of barricades, to reach the protesters who had been holding the building has one protester appears to advance towards police, a second protester wrestles him to the Ground Police reach a stairwell and advance upwards through the building finding more locks janes barricades. But no more protesters and you just got some new information from the nypd about who they arrested licensing. So the rest about 40 people that were in that first floor of the building and they have now taken that identification of the 40 people their names, pedigree, and provided that to Columbia University. So the university can determine how many of these people were students, how many, if any, were not students, and where they were from i just want to bring in columbia Graduate Student and cnn reported Julia Vargas Jones, who brought us Exclusive Reporting from campus, just steps away from Hamilton Hall as police winning and then julia, first of all, you and your photographer did a great job who is your photographers name . Cream kataib in. Okay you guys did a great job last night. What you did this on like your cell phone. I know your battery was dying. This one . Yeah. That was it. The broken one. Broken screen. Yeah. Well, we appreciate it so what is it like seeing that im you were on the outside and getting that. You saw that that line that were just seeing that for the first time. Well right when that started, we couldnt see any of that. Right. So they push us out and i was live with you at the time. They pushed us out about at least 50 yards and there was blockage and await. We couldnt see anything that was happening aside from police leinz and leinz Police Officers going past the now the bleachers for the Graduation Event thats coming up in a couple weeks and then coming back on the other side. So we had we were in this blind spot, but we didnt know from being there all day that there was a lot of stuff just keeping police from entering as well as a few dozen students on the outside. Now, im interested in that number of about 40 people inside because we really didnt know how many people were the protesters. Um, you were out there . They werent really talking to anybody with a camera who was there. Not just anybody with the camera, even student press. It was really difficult gold and i think in their attempt to protect their identities, to try and remain anonymous, i think that ended up Crania Big Barrier for us to just get some of the basic information out. I want to play johnson sound from the New York Police department, Deputy Commissioner of intelligence, intelligence and counterterrorism. Lets listen these students dont come in the doors knowing how to barricade themselves behind barriers that theyve created. These are all skills that are taught and learned and that presents a problem yesterday, new yorks mayor had talked about outside agitators. That is there may be people from outside. We dont know the makeup of the people inside the building yet. The outside agitators is kind of a common trope also used against protesters in past decades. Frankly, going back for a long time, is it clear who the people in the building we were they all students were some of them outsiders. Do we know . So theyre still going through that, but i think what the mayor was talking about was an extraordinarily well known National Figure in the protest movement. Lisa fithian, 63 yearold protest organizer from austin, texas part of occupy wall street, part of occupy city hall, part of so many protests, seattle across the country arrived at columbia on monday afternoon that was just before they took that building shes on video helping students with a table that they are using a barricade, the door. So the question that the nypd was looking at is, as this encampment on the west lawn was losing steam did a professional organizer come in and say, if you want to have an impact, you need disruption. Now, lisa fithian for the record, talked to us. Its cnn and said, we werent there to take over the building that just happened. But the question that the Deputy Commissioner for intelligence my former job of Rebecca Weiner raises is where did they suddenly get this idea . And all the tactics and techniques for the kind of bear when you see this video, i mean, what stands out to you is, as we watch it, what stands out to me is this was this was extraordinarily well planned and not something that they would have thought of on their own based on the tactics and techniques they used. Entering the building having an agent hide inside, then breaking all the Security Cameras to cut off the view of i mean, there is a history of taking over buildings. Columbia going back going back to 1968, they help people hostage. And in fact, in 1968, Hamilton Hall, this was the first building they took over the Police Response was a lot more violent and aggressive in terms of how the students and Police Fought there in this case, it just seemed that theyre negotiations reached an impasse. And the coincidental arrival of a National Person who trains protesters is something that caught authorities attention until it whats campus like today would or production been line its quite a different scene, anderson, its it was quiet, it was eerie there werent a lot of students and campus, as you know, not many students there were allowed in general. And when we feel live there for your essential staff, so it was weird to see campus. So empty, so close to finals, i mean, at 10 00 a. M. Usually its packed before late for class. Theres life, but classes are done now. Its now people studying for finals there are still classes. I am still in classes, but now theyre all on zoom right . And everything is digital now. And then there is something that struck me this morning as i as i walked outside of pulitzer hall, was seeing the marks of the tense that they left on the lawn. Im sure youve seen that picture of just that thats to me, it was kind of a poetic scar of a columbia has been through in the past few weeks and especially in the past Graduation Ceremonies when may 15th, because that would obviously be targeted for protesters if theyve theyve asked police to stay on campus because i think what columbia has experiences they cleared that west lawn once before. Thats where they have the commencement. And now its okay. Weve taken the ground again. Weve taken the building back. Now we need to hold it between now and commencement. John miller. Thank you. Julia vargas jones. Thank you so much. Appreciate it. Coming up next to los angeles where there wasnt a violent incident on the ucla campus involving israel supporters and antiisrael demonstrators after which classes were canceled two they soon as nick watt is there for us tonight, so whats been the reaction, what happened last night anderson, people are shocked and stunned by what happened last night. The College Spokesperson said this, that they are sickened by the senseless violence. And it must end. I spoken to some jewish students its here who were also shocked. The protestors themselves listen they are very rightly rattled by what happened, but they are determined to stave during the day today, theyve actually been reinforcing these barricades behind me, which is exactly where this incident happened last night take a look at just what happened here late night into the Early Morning at ucla counterprotestors, pro israel protesters, among them, some clearly not students breach the barricades around a propalestine standing and cabinet a firecracker thrown in cones and more flying through the darkness, pepper spray from inside that tamp. The College Newspaper photographed at counter Protester Spraying from an aerosol can daily bruin reporters on the scene were slapped an indirectly sprayed with irritants absolutely detestable violence said, las mayor karen bass, you see Officials Say 15 injured, one hospitalized, and they promise an independent external review ever since this encampment sprang up thursday morning, tension has been mounting. The first scuffles thursday afternoon more over the weekend the barriers and the buffer zone that was breached last night, the university has allowed the protesters to control who enters the camera monday a jewish student posted this protesters well, outside of their encampment, he says blocking his way. Theyre not letting me walk in. My class is over there. I want to use it that entrance ucla called this a part current and remove those barriers then last night, this love to dance thats what happened last night was an attack on our encampment by Zionists Thugs that the university did nothing to stop this morning at University Of Wisconsin Madison Law Enforcement did get involved campus lets police clashing with protesters while clearing a propalestinian encampment for Law Enforcement officers were injured. Dozens of protesters arrested. They started pushing them. They started shoving them students were held down with pitons. Most work released without citations. College Officials Say its unclear how many were affiliated with the school they say some resisted arrest and say peaceful protest that abides by campus rules are still alive. Just no tents. We are grateful that our protesters are still here and they are exercising their First Amendment right back at ucla today. Much more Law Enforcement on site and all classes are canceled. The buffer zone between the encampment and everyone else has expanded to about half the length of a football field. This afternoon, just outside the barrier. Faculty in solidarity with the pro palestinians, shame on you shouted down by pro is real healy protesters. Just a couple of faculty and students from either side trying to find even a sliver of Common Ground so were. There no Campus Police at the very least at that location last night. And has the Police Response last night or lack of have been viewed by the community . There there were very few Campus Security here and they frankly didnt do much. And there has been a lot of criticism of the response governor gavin newsom posted this morning, the limited and delayed campus Law Enforcement response at Ucla Last Night was unacceptable and demands, answers. Weve asked for answers were still waiting for them. Ucla says that theyre carrying out an internal investigation, gathering information, but listen whatever College Administrators do, theyre going to get criticized. You see what happened at columbia last night at wisconsin this morning where they go in heavyhanded, they get criticized. You see what happened here. They hang back, they get criticized. But there is now a very different posture. Im looking at about a dozen lapd officers there. Weve had california Highway Patrol here all Day Lapd Choppers circling around so they are clearly theyve clearly learned a lesson from last night and they do not want that to happen again. But right now, the reality here, anderson is, youve got protesters in there who were scared. Youve got jewish students out on the campus who were scared. No one is happy and there doesnt seem to be any end in sight either the president of the whole Uc System Today said that they well clear this encampment, but only at the appropriate time now, i dont know what that means and the commencement the main Commencement Events here arent until the middle of june, so the uc system is saying we will not divest, which is the demands of the protesters, the protestors saying they will not leave. So what do you youve got youve got classes canceled and youve got dozens, if not hundreds. Now, of officers on this campus trying to keep an uneasy peace and no one feels safe and no ones happy. And doesnt require. Thank you. Appreciate it. Next to the former president in blaming the current one for campus on raffa, what voters make of that issue and others with new numbers from cnns harry enten later, the next strange twist and republican Marjorie Taylor greenes push to unseat the republican speaker and house when with democrats may do to help him. Actually keep his job. Thats it. You let me just say, i love planet fitness, trying to apply it if it isnt dang, they got lots of equipment.
