An NYPD spokesperson waved a scholarly book about terrorism around on TV in an attempt to associate Columbia University protesters with terrorists. Well, we actually read it. The claim is as absurd as you might guess.

How could these adults possibly know how to put heavy things in front of doors and wrap something around something? How I ask you!?
If someone graduates from Columbia without knowing how to block a door then I feel the money has been wasted on them.
It’s like the NYPD jas never watched a horror movie before.
