during heated anti-Israel demonstrations won’t face criminal charges, Manhattan prosecutors announced Thursday — drawing outrage from law enforcement and Jewish advocates.
The dismissals quickly drew fury from rank-and-file NYPD officers, higher education officials and Jewish leaders who spoke with The Post.Nearly all of the protesters who were charged occupying Columbia’s University Hamilton Hall during anti-Israel protests had their cases dismissed Thursday.“This is turnstile justice,” said Michael Nussbaum, a 25-year member of the Jewish Community Relations Council of New York.
Protesters wore masks during the demonstration, making it difficult to point out the specific antics of each individual, the DA’s office added. Prosecutors said they plan to move forward with charges against Carlson, who’s been dubbed a wannabe bad boy and is due back in court July 25.His attorney, Moira Meltzer-Cohen, said that Carlson disputes the “validity of many of these allegations.”
“The only allegation that was different is that they weren’t enrolled or currently a faculty member,” Daloisio told the judge, adding that this group included “alumni community members concerned of genocide.”
