There were other police actions around the country to clear out encampments, as well.
Oh, and OAC is screeching about how Columbia and the NYPD will be held responsible if any of the poor lil 'chillruns are harmed during the illegal, vicious, anti-First Amendment Trump-led fascist Nazi assault.
OK, maybe she didn't actually say all of that, but we know that's what she's thinking.

How is Government supposed to provide you with proper healthcare if it's not tracking your vital health information?
These are the same people that mocked Todd Akin for holding to a common misconception about the female reproductive system, but still wanted politicians in charge of health care.

Yep, me too. And, at least in mine, it comes on every time I start the car, so I have to remember to turn it off. Nothing is as startling as having the car drop anchor for an imaginary danger.
By the way, regarding the "crisis". NHTSA estimates it will cost $354 million per year to save 362 lives. Every life is valuable, but I'll bet we could save many more lives for less than a million dollars apiece. Just as a for instance, about that number of drivers die every year because of cell phones. They could require an over the air software fix that disabled phones while moving.
