FROM SUZY ROSEN SINGLETON, VIA MISHKA ZENA:
- JORDAN, FERNANDES, AND KELLY MET WITH STUDENT LEADERS YESTERDAY
- DENIED AGREEMENT WITH PROTESTERS TO WARN STUDENTS ON SCENE BEFORE DOING ANYTHING AT ALL GATES
- JORDAN TAKES RESPONSIBILITY FOR EVENTS AT MSSD GATE ON 25 OCTOBER
- SAYS HE MADE GOOD DECISION ABOUT THE ORDER FOR DPS/PPD TO DESTROY MOUNT BISON AND "SURPRISE" THE PROTESTERS IN TENTS
- JORDAN WANTS GATES RE-OPENED, THREATENS ARRESTS
LETTERS FROM KENDALL GREEN COMMENTS:
NOTE THAT DC POLICE DID NOT ARREST PROTESTERS AS URGED BY PAUL KELLY AND ADMINISTRATORS YESTERDAY; THEY INSTEAD WANTED TO SPEAK TO THE STUDENT LEADERS AND IGNORED KELLY'S DEMAND TO ARREST THEM. GIVEN THAT DC POLICE PREVIOUSLY SAID THEY NEEDED ONLY ONE GATE, THE 6TH STREET GATE, TO BE OPEN, AND DID NOT IMMEDIATELY ARREST PROTESTERS AT MOUNT BISON, THIS STRONGLY SUGGESTS DC POLICE DID BELIEVE THERE WAS AN AGREEMENT IN PLACE TO WARN STUDENTS BEFOREHAND OF ACTIONS TAKEN BY THE ADMINISTRATION SUCH AS WHAT HAPPENED AT MOUNT BISON. REMEMBER THAT DC POLICE DID PARTICIPATE IN MANY SAFETY MEETINGS WITH THE ADMINISTRATION AND THE PROTESTERS, AND THEIR REFUSAL TO PARTICIPATE IN THE ADMINISTRATION'S ASSAULT ON MOUNT BISON SUGGESTS THAT THEY DO NOT WANT TO BE INVOLVED IN YET ANOTHER BAD MOVE BY THE ADMINISTRATION.
