"In January, as we covered an active criminal investigation into the alleged chemical spraying of pro-Palestinian protesters, University officials demanded we hand over Spectator’s photos and videos and intimidated journalists by telling us the NYPD was going to subpoena our organization."

I was listening to Jelani Cobb being interviewed and that man sounded very tired and exceedingly proud.

Aww, that's great. Did he confirm that he was threatened with arrest? I've been wondering

I've seen no credible reporting that he was threatened with arrest. And he was giving TV interviews to various outlets during the night of the raid. I suspect the answer is either: (1) no, he wasn't threatened with arrest; or (2) it happened on a different night.

as he was on the phone with one of the cable news anchors, forget which channel, he was audibly interrupted and said to someone "no, i'm the dean, i'm the dean here" or something to that effect but then he just continued the phone interview, and my guess is someone ran with that moment
