This time there weren\u2019t any punches thrown, but two guys grabbed me in an armlock and dragged me off the property, threw me down. I went back in a third time, this time more punches were thrown, one to the throat, a headbutt.

An officer told Horowitz after he was detained that they were \u201ctrying to give these kids a space to protest peacefully.\u201d When Horowitz responded, \u201cThat\u2019s the problem, they\u2019re not,\u201d police blamed him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey are peaceful until they feel like their space is being invaded, because they feel like this is their fight,\u201d the officer went on to say about the protesters on the public university\u2019s campus.<\/p>\n<p>Horowitz says no action was taken against his attackers, even after he laid out what happened.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven after I explained what happened, they didn\u2019t go back out to grab these guys \u2013 knowing I have it on video because I told them I had, this was all filmed,\u201d Horowitz said. \u201cThey didn\u2019t say, let\u2019s look at the footage, and let\u2019s go grab these guys.

These students look up to these professors. It\u2019s garbage in and garbage out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The attack on Horowitz comes as several New York universities have been taken over by similar encampments. Columbia University gave anti-Israel protesters multiple deadlines to clear out before police would be authorized to remove their encampment, but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/columbia-university-caves-will-not-use-police-to-clear-out-anti-israel-encampment\">backed down<\/a> three different times before announcing yet another deadline, which the Columbia protesters disobeyed.
