The recent unrest in the streets of New York City has sparked a fiery debate among politicians and citizens alike. And at the center of it all is Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who sparked outrage with her comments suggesting that the NYPD should "teach anti-Israel mobs consequences for their actions." As expected, this statement was met with backlash and criticism, particularly from those on the conservative side of the political spectrum.
From a conservative standpoint, AOC's remarks only serve to further divide our already polarized nation. It is concerning that a member of Congress would suggest that law enforcement officers should use force against individuals exercising their right to protest. This goes against the very principles of our democracy and undermines the rule of law.
AOC is berating NYPD for doing there jobs?

Furthermore, AOC's statement displays a lack of understanding of the situation at hand. The ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine is a complex issue that cannot be reduced to a simple black-and-white narrative. Suggesting that the NYPD should target one side of the conflict over the other is not only misguided, but it also shows a disregard for the nuances and complexities of the situation.
Let's also not forget that the NYPD is responsible for protecting the safety and well-being of all citizens, regardless of their political views. To suggest that they should target and punish those with differing opinions is not only unconstitutional but goes against the very core values of our society. The NYPD's duty is to maintain peace and order, not to enforce political agendas.
Columbia faculty stage walkout in support of student Gaza Camp on campus
You know if AOC supports this; it is WRONG.
Columbia University faculty joined students on Monday in staging a walkout. The faculty were opposing the university administration's use of the NYPD to arrest… pic.twitter.com/WZN1UPpJ5F

It is also worth noting that the NYPD has a long history of upholding the law and protecting citizens' rights to protest peacefully. To suggest that they need to be taught how to handle these situations is a blatant insult to their professionalism and dedication to their duty. It is clear that AOC's inflammatory comments are nothing more than an attempt to vilify law enforcement and score political points.
Instead of calling for violent retaliation, AOC should be using her platform to promote peaceful dialogue and understanding. The ongoing conflict in the Middle East is a delicate issue that requires thoughtful and diplomatic solutions, not aggressive and divisive rhetoric. The last thing we need is for our leaders to fan the flames of hatred and violence.
In conclusion, AOC's suggestion that the NYPD should "teach anti-Israel mobs consequences for their actions" is not only misguided but also dangerous.
It is a clear display of her lack of understanding of the situation and a disregard for the rule of law. As a society, we must reject such divisive and irresponsible statements and work towards finding peaceful solutions to complex issues.
What are YOUR thoughts on AOC?
We want to hear from you! Please comment below to join the discussion.
I totally agree with AOC
Which is a first
TheNYPD should arrest the protesters who disrupt the classes and the streets. They are completely misguided and ignorant about facts
Most of them are untijewish not pro Palestinian
That entire Squad should never have been in Congress and should be expelled. They have no allegiance to America. And, Columbia University should be CLOSED!
Our elected ‘leaders’ are a disgrace. Our Court System is in shambles. The Democrats are killing America. We have a Constitution…FOLLOW IT.
Donald Trump is the only person with backbone enough to run America.
As for OAC…she is a Bartender and not qualified to be anything other than that!!!!
Spot on!!!!! Couldn’t have said it better
Seldom, if ever, agree with aoc, But, she’s right on this one. Hamas started the war, actions have consequences.
Madelyn Collier, you said it all. I agree with every word you said. !!!!!
Does freedom of speech also mean freedom to incite hatred and violence? I think not…
We didn’t stand for it in the 60s. We shouldn’t stand for it now!
I’m simply amazed to know her constituents are just as stupid as she is if they re-elect her. It’s no wonder NYC is in shambles.
I agree students can protest but taking over a campus and shutting down classes is wrong. Now professors are taking side. If they want to protest about Israel, go home and protest Hamas for starting the war and demand all hostages be freed.
AOC is anti American and does deserve to be in our Government vote AOC out along with the rest of the Squad they are terrorist and anti American. If you want to save America vote Democrats out in Nov. and restore our country back to the best country in the world
God I pray New York wakes the hell up and votes her and Chucky boy out of office .
