Context: NYPD breaks up pro-Palestinian protest at Columbia University
Will police be used to break up another collegiate Gaza war protest before June?
The police must be associated with a metro, state, or national law enforcement agency (including NYPD, LAPD, California Highway Patrol, Border Patrol, ICE, CIA, FBI, DIA…etc.) not simply college police. The protests could be pro, or anti, war, but should be related to the current conflict in Gaza, and/or the US’ position on Israel.

@Balasar He said he might be leaving the site. Not sure if he'll be back, so I'm giving it some time before I ping a mod.

In his email, Salovey expressed gratitude that Yale Police was able to “take these actions peacefully” as he stated that “none of the protesters resisted arrest.”
@mattyb This thread is also relevant.
"When asked about the hundreds of protesters blocking the intersection of College and Grove, Campbell said that streets fall under NHPD jurisdiction. NHPD Chief Karl Jacobson previously said YPD was in charge. When informed of this difference, Campbell said he'd talk to Jacobson."
"Mayor Elicker said that he called University President Peter Salovey last night to speak about the protest. He said that Salovey told him the city has been supportive. Elicker clarified that YPD, not the University, had reached out requesting support from NHPD."
"For now, Jacobson said there are no plans to disperse the crowd unless protesters begin to set up tents. If tents are set up, he said, New Haven police will “immediately” disperse the entire crowd."
"NHPD Public Information Officer Bruckhart told the News that NHPD will not issue a dispersal warning because protesters are vacating the intersection."
So it seems like at Yale the local PD is on standby and has some rules for what the protestors can and can't do. But they're not in violation just yet.
