About 10 people were taken into police custody Wednesday after the NYPD cleared out a student protest at Barnard College after an apparent bomb threat.
It took nearly two hours for officers to clear students from campus after police say a bomb threat was called in for the school’s library around 4:30 p.m.
Police sources tell CBS News New York 10 people refused officers’ orders and were taken into custody.
Students jeered in the pouring rain as police shut down the block and swept the building.
No explosives were found, and the area was cleared.
Seems like resources should be spent on finding out who called in a fake bomb threat, since that’s an actual act of terrorism. But that, of course, is not the message the article is selling.
