Members of the NYPD removed the Palestinian flag and replaced it with the American flag in a memorable moment of patriotism after clearing out anti-Israel protesters at City College of New York in Harlem.
NYPD Deputy Commissioner Kaz Daughtry gave a quick impromptu speech.
“An incredible scene and proud moment as we have assisted @CityCollegeNY in restoring order on campus, culminating in raising Old Glory once again on their campus flagpole,” NYPD Deputy Commissioner Kaz Daughtry wrote on X.

From The New York Post:
The Palestinian flag had been flying at CCNY since protesters raised it last week when they set up an encampment at the public institute.
Protesters clashes with police at the Harlem CUNY campus Tuesday night, fighting cops who tried to break up the protest and throwing garbage at them.
The pro-Palestinian protesters, many from a group who traveled across Manhattan to protest at different colleges in the city, threw flares at cops and barricaded themselves inside an administrative building.
Currently, City College is holding all of its classes remotely until further notice.
