CPD said the case was suspended after they exhausted all āinvestigative leads,ā despite video evidence showing the crash and subsequent violent arrest Tuesday morning. A police report said the ICE agent was making a ātactical moveā when causing the crash; it was classified as ānon-criminal.ā

Article says Kotlikoff "bumped" some students with his car, but leaves out the part where Kotlikoff directed Cornell comms to send a university-wide email to get out in front, framing himself as a victim being harassed and intimidated by students "known to Cornell for their past conduct."

The president of Cornell backed his car into a student and a recent grad after a campus debate on Israel-Palestine. Then he lied about what happened in an email claiming he'd been the victim of harassment. Then, magnificently, Cornell's student newspaper found a video of the incident
