A black college student went looking for free food. He ended up pinned down by campus police.

By Katie Mettler Katie Mettler Reporter covering breaking news and features Email Bio Follow April 14 at 5:21 PM Alexander McNab was hungry.

On his quest for free food, McNab had an encounter with police, which included a disagreement about his student ID that led officers to forcefully pin him to a countertop. The incident, filmed by two witnesses, inspired a weekend of unrest at the Columbia and Barnard campuses, where administrators have released statements and held listening sessions and students have called attention to what some consider a chronic problem within the public safety department.

He walked through the official gate to Barnard’s campus, where he heard someone shout: “Hello, sir! Hello, sir!”McNab thought about the two other occasions he had been stopped by Barnard officers and asked to show his ID, encounters he believes were a result of racial profiling. They once demanded to see his ID as he was leaving a two hour dance practice.

That’s when Caroline Cutlip, a Barnard junior who had posted about the free food in the first place, started filming. In the video, McNab is seen waiting by the Barnard students. He murmurs an apology, and a student firmly responds: “No, don’t be sorry.” McNab said another student suggested the incident was worthy of a complaint to Barnard’s Title IX officer, and she logged onto a computer and sent one off.

And for the record, he deliberately looks homeless with his free shopping bag and dirty coat. It's a set up to get his tuition paid by some guilty white women who feels bad about being RICH RICHER RICHEST

Isn't everything free? Just wait till we start paying reparations in McDonalds coupons or Starbucks gift certificates.

Identity is important in the institution to avoid terrorism

“I’m gonna make an issue where one doesn’t exist and be on television.” More BS from activists/aholes.

You're FakeNews

Free everything!!!!!

This is wildly and clearly purposely misleading kemettler you are garb

And it happened at one of the elite I V LEAGUES.

Racism runs deep in USA. What a horrible country to live in.

Wow, this is an awful headline. You should be ashamed.

Where do you get free food. Begging or stealing? WTF

Has to show student I'd, but he says he wasn't thinking about that...he assumed they were stopping him because of his skin color....what a joke....

When security asks for your ID card just show it to them. IDIOT, no sympathy for being stupid.

If he had only showed his ID card instead of his race card.

Theres no such thing as a free lunch.

Free food? He got pinned because he wouldn’t show his school ID to security. He was trying to make a point that security selectively enforces the “show ID policy” for black students. I liked having ID rules and college security. They should enforce the rule for everyone.

You already posted this a few times yesterday plus his skin color has nothing to do with anything so why put in your headline. If he was white would it be in the headline.

Free food Or, in an attempting to commit a crime, theft. A student was detained by campus police

Enemy of the people seems correct

Mo salah 😳

Eating While Black JOINS Driving While Black, Voting While Black, Working While Black, Walking While Black, Shopping While Black, Playing While Black, Hiring While Black, Renting While Black, ad nauseam. Living While Black is HELL

Ask me how I used one weird trick to always avoid getting 'pinned down' by cops.

That’s not how it started. He refused to show his ID when asked, instead his CHOICE WAS Failure to comply. God forbid he would have complied right away and avoid this mess...but let’s blame it on everyone else!!

Video Shows Chicago Police Officers Punching And Dragging A 16-Year-Old Student Down StairsThe video appears to contradict the officers statements that the student initiated the violent encounter. Schools are mostly like prisons, so they might as well beat the students ... it doesn't make much difference .... 🙁 I guess Rahm Emmanuel & the Chief of Police wont be holding any angry press conferences to speak out against this brutality & lies by the police to cover what they did. I guess they’re to busy obsessing over Jussie Smollett. 🙄😡
