Back in ‘68 the NYPD’s Tactical Patrol Force or TPF went in with bats and hats and saps. They beat the SDS guys unconscious and slapped them around after they were cuffed. Lindsay and his PC Leary were horrified and soon disbanded the TPF, but Mark Rudd and his band had a very unpleasant end to their protest. I should say his band because Rudd was nowhere to be found that evening. Oh the idiot demonstrates thought they had barricaded the huge oak doors. They didn’t factor that the doors opened out, not in. I was over there a couple of times with tape recorder and NYPD Press pass from Fordham’s WFUV FM. Never got on campus and the demonstration interviews from those outside on B’Way were not worth air time.
