the NYPD, aided by cable news, is trying to further push the “outside agitator” narrative at Columbia the evidence? a bike lock and chain “this is not what students bring to school. this is what professionals bring to campuses.” Columbia literally sells these bike locks and chains to students

Nothing brings back the olden days like the phrase "outside agitators." Most common complaint by George Wallace, Lester Maddox, Bull Connor, other seg stalwarts, against civil rights protesters in the1960s.

The 'bike lock and chain' argument came from the 1960's back when people said that punks would fight swinging safety chains with a bike lock on them as a flail during riots... it was an old thing involving improvised weapons using common everyday household objects to justify police brutality.
