Funcionario de la policía de Nueva York: Sabemos que "agitadores externos, personas influyentes" están presentes en las protestas universitarias
El Comisionado Adjunto de Información Pública de la Policía de Nueva York, Tarik Sheppard, da la voz de alarma sobre la participación de "agitadores externos" en las protestas antiisraelíes en "Tu Mundo".
Video taken from New York City police officers' body-worn cameras shows authorities forcing their way inside a Columbia University building this week that had been overtaken by anti-Israel protesters.
The video shows the moment NYPD officers wearing protective gear breached Hamilton Hall on Tuesday night where the protesters had barricaded themselves inside.
"No nos moverán", se oye cantar a los manifestantes en el exterior del edificio mientras los agentes se dirigen hacia él.
Many of the protesters were not students at the university, but outside agitators, NYPD Deputy Commissioner of Public Information Tarik Sheppard told "Your World Cavuto" on Thursday.

"Son profesionales", dijo, "puede que vuelen uno o dos días y se vayan. Los verás viajando por todo el país, y tienen financiación".
"Los estudiantes ya están apasionados y molestos por un tema, y ahora tienes a una persona susurrándote al oído 'Oye, ya sabes, deberíamos tomar el edificio' o algo así", añadió Sheppard. "Cuando las mentes jóvenes se encuentran en ese estado, es bastante fácil dejarse influir por alguien que es un profesional de la manipulación".
The bodycam footage shows the officers using a tool to open a front door at Hamilton Hall, which had multiple chairs stacked against it from the inside.
Once inside, the officers encountered a man-made barrier of what appeared to be furniture that required a saw to cut through. Protesters are heard from the outside chanting "Free, free Palestine!"
At one point, an officer says "Let's deploy a flashbang (grenade)," which was followed by a series of loud bangs. After cutting through the barrier, officers came into contact with protesters sitting inside a room where they were detained.
Authorities were only allowed to move protesters from the campus after the university officially requested help, Sheppard said, adding that several universities in the city have asked the NYPD to have a presence on their campus at least through the middle of May.

"Many of them are requesting that. What we've asked is that they come up with a plan to self-sustain. However, we will not leave them and we don't want the campuses to return to the state that it was in," he said.
