video exposes NYPD brutalizing students in protest against Petraeus’
professorship. Video footage has emerged showing New York police using
heavy-handed tactics while detaining students protesting against former CIA
chief David Petraeus becoming a university professor. RT spoke to one of the
arrested rally participants.

people took part in a demonstration protesting former CIA chief, David
Petraeus, being given a teaching position at the school.

the protesters were arrested that day and have been charged with obstruction of
governmental administration, riot, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct. One
of them is 24-year-old Denise Ford, who spent 28 hours in police custody following
the rally.

pushed us on to the street and they just started from there where they grabbed
one of my comrades, slammed his head against the car and were just all on top
of him”, Ford told RT’s Marina Portnaya. “Then I went to try help him out and
in the process I ended up falling in between two cars on the back of my head.
Then I proceeded to get up. And when I looked to the back of me there were cops
on top of my other comrade. I witnessed they picked up his shirt and a police
officer took two to five blows to his kidneys. And then a cop just came and
grabbed me, pulled me back and cuffed me”.

Jawatankuasa
Ad Hoc Terhadap ketenteraan CUNY, penganjur perhimpunan tersebut, mengeluarkan
kenyataan akhbar yang menyifatkan apa yang berlaku pada hari Selasa sebagai “kejam,
serangan provokasi polis semasa protes aman” dan dinamakan akaun saksi sebagai
bukti itu.
“Sebagai
pelajar melaungkan ‘Perang Jenayah Petraeus Daripada CUNY Sekarang,” saya
terkejut apabila melihat beberapa pegawai polis merebut dan menganiaya salah
satu daripada penunjuk perasaan, “kata City College pelajar Yexenia Vanegas,
menurut siaran media. “Ini benar-benar tdk bererti, sebagai penunjuk perasaan
jelas bahawa mereka berada di sana untuk mempertahankan universiti dalam protes
yang aman.”
Penglibatan
Petreaus ‘dengan universiti telah bertemu dengan kritikan yang luas daripada
pelajar, fakulti dan staf yang mengatakan mereka tidak mahu kolej mereka untuk
menjadi tuan rumah orang yang menyelia peperangan, serangan drone (berdengung)
dan taktik penyeksaan yang didakwa di Timur Tengah. Ahli akademik dan pelajar
siswazah di CUNY telah mengeluarkan kenyataan menyeru semua caj yang akan
digugurkan terhadap 6 pelajar ditangkap oleh NYPD .
“Kami
dengan tegas menyokong usaha pelajar-pelajar CUNY yang menentang cubaan oleh
kerajaan Amerika Syarikat dan pentadbiran CUNY untuk menjadikan universiti
menjadi terkenal “kolej perang” dengan pelantikan Petraeus. Beliau
bertanggungjawab untuk kematian dan kemusnahan banyak sekali di Iraq dan
Afghanistan sebagai panglima perang dan ketua CIA,” surat itu berbunyi .
Rancangan
Petreaus ‘untuk memulakan kerjaya baru sebagai profesor pelawat untuk CUNY
telah bertemu dengan kritikan musim panas ini. Pada bulan Julai berita muncul
beliau akan menerima gaji 6 angka untuk kerja. Berikutan kemarahan meluas
peguam bekas ketua CIA mengumumkan bahawa umum akan mengisi jawatan itu hanya $
1.
“Sama
ada yang dibayar $ 200,000 atau $ 1, pembunuh besar-besaran ini tidak harus dibenarkan
untuk mengajar di CUNY,” risalah memanggil protes September berbunyi.
Demonstrasi
itu berlaku semasa acara kutipan derma, di luar Macauley Kolej Kepujian CUNY di
mana Petraeus telah dilantik untuk mengajar kelas mengenai dasar awam.
The Ad
Hoc Committee Against the Militarization of CUNY, the organizer of the rally,
issued a press release which described what happened on Tuesday as a “brutal,
unprovoked police attack during a peaceful protest” and cited eyewitnesses
accounts as proof of that.
"As
students were chanting 'War Criminal Petraeus Out of CUNY Now,' I was shocked
to see several police officers grab and brutalize one of the
demonstrators," said City College student Yexenia Vanegas, according to
the press-release. "This was completely unprovoked, as demonstrators made
clear that they were there to defend our university in a peaceful
protest."
Petreaus’
involvement with the university has been met with broad criticism from
students, faculty and staff members who say they don’t want their college to
host the man who oversaw wars, drone strikes and alleged torture tactics in the
Middle East. Academics and graduate students at CUNY have released a statement
calling for all charges to be dropped against the six students arrested by the
NYPD.
“We
emphatically support the efforts of these CUNY students to resist the attempts
by the U.S. government and the CUNY administration to turn the university into
an infamous “war college" with the appointment of Petraeus. He is responsible for countless deaths and
innumerable destruction in Iraq and Afghanistan as a war commander and chief of
the CIA,” the letter reads.
Petreaus’
plans to begin a new career as a visiting professor for CUNY have been met with
criticism this summer. In July news emerged he would receive a six figure
salary for the job. Following widespread indignation the ex CIA chief’s lawyer
announced that the general would fill the post for just $1.
“Whether
being paid $200,000 or $1, this mass murderer must not be allowed to teach at
CUNY,” a leaflet calling for September protests reads.
