He said he told the female police officer arresting him: “You’ve just arrested your first faculty member.” He said she responded, “This is for your protection.”

Sounds like the Gestapo.
"You are being rescued. Please do not resist."
Can’t trust those Imperial units regardless if they’ve been reprogrammed.
He was charged with obstructing a government organization. Obstruction of Government Administration under NY Penal Law § 195.05 is a class A misdemeanor. A class A misdemeanor is punishable by up to one year in jail or up to three years of probation. Additionally, the court may impose a fine of up to $1,000.

Yeah that case is getting tossed. The bigger question is whether or not he files suit for the arrest, which he should.
Presumably that’s the strategy: arrest everyone to break up the protests and scare off future protests , then drop charges since you really don’t have any. Bonus that most students don’t have the resources to sue for wrongful arrest. It would be a shame if they arrested someone who did
Bonus bonus points, even if charges are dropped, the fact that you were arrested still shows up on your criminal record, and may affect your employment opportunities.
Fuck the police and if you back the blue fuck you too.

And we get to pay for it, lucky us!
Cops need to be licensed and insured, with the premium coming from their own salary.
The gestapo has come for you.. for your own protection..
Just send a video to a prominent YT 1st amendment auditor like Audit The Audit, and ask them to plug a GoFundMe.
