The column of cops plowed its way into the peaceful crowd of students.

Students report seeing numerous arrests of students simply going about their day.

As the column of cops made their way through the crowd they began making random violent arrests.

The students have posted a request for jail support either by calling for release or with bail donations.

I'm dying... they arrested a photographer from the local news station FOX7 and the person recording here is a local NBC reporter 😂

So... the internet is FAST as all ways.

I believe there's already video of the moment Carlos from ABC7 was arrested.

I'm not sure these colleges and local PDs are ready for the backlash they created today.

Out here throwing reporters to the ground and dangling rifle muzzles in their faces on live streams. smh good luck with that

Despite the chaos of a simmering police riot, the student reporters continue asking hard hitting questions.

Another angle of Carlos from FOX7 being arrested has emerged: https://partyon.xyz/@nullagent/112328602106113667

The OP has a bio that says "I religiously devote myself to Texas Football" and his caption for this clip was "Guy with camera gets rko’d by police".

... I'm not going to lie, I had to google RKO and I'll be damned if Chris from Austin who loves football isn't right about this cop abuse!

The day started with a convoy of cop cars heading to the UT Austin campus.

What was the rush? What was the threat?

Arresting college kids for holding signs and chanting and reporters for filming.

Real bang up job DPS

Through out the day DPS/APD made several pushes with mounted officers and riot cops to push students of the South Lawn.

Students slowly were pushed from the area.

There's been countless videos coming out of Austin of questionable arrests.

Here's one of an elderly man being arrested. I think this is the first arrest from UT today that didn't involve someone getting body slammed.

Once the South Lawn was clear, the mounted police left and the cops slowly dispersed.

They seem to have made some efforts to hold the lawn but . . .

#UTAustin #ACAB #FreePalestine

The student's numbers on the ground and spirit remained high.

They eventually re-took the South Lawn!

This was the scene at UT Austin this morning. Students came out in a MAJOR way and continue to demand their university divest from Israel.

Reports from those OTG yesterday and today suggests the crowd is nearly five times bigger than yesterday. ✊🏿🇵🇸

Came across this picture of FOX7's photographer being arrested yesterday as cops look suspiciously at his camera on the ground like it might bite them 🤣

It's important to know that Texas has a law that re-affirms the 1st amendment and guarantees that public college campuses can be used for public demonstrations.

Watch this 👇🏿

#UTAustin #Texas #FreePalestine

Texas Tribune reporting 46 out of 57 arrested have been released and charges dropped!

Also making a lot of catty remarks about "outside" influence but as we just saw from the official UT Austin press release -anyone- can host an event practicing any protected 1A speech on the campus.

I wonder why there's so much scrutiny this time? 🤔

https://www.texastribune.org/2024/04/25/ut-austin-palestinian-arrests-criminal-cases/

#FreePalestine #utaustin #TexasTribune

All pro-Palestinian demonstrators’ UT-Austin cases dropped

University officials banned all students arrested from campus, except for “academic reasons.”

^{Pooja Salhotra (The Texas Tribune)}

The camera man from FOX7 was seen getting out of jail early Thursday morning.

Feel like this really settles the question of how much cops love beating up peaceful protesters.

This cop taking a selfie right before the go and stage a cop riot tells you all you need to know about their intentions.

This morning student protesters steadfastly re-established their encampment on UT Austin's campus.

According to @oconnell police are on scene but are currently out numbered.

Here's a full view of the tents and activists protecting them. They are chanting for #Palestine and demanding divestment by #UTAustin. #Austin

I'm personally really inspired by the attention to detail these students display. One thing is for sure, these kids love their water!

The posts from 2hrs ago show the energized students re-building their encampment.

About an hour ago a column of cops showed up and began surrounding the encampment.

The cops could be seen barging into the encampment and taking the student's mutual aid supplies.

Annnd the cops went right back to last week's ultra effective strategy of arresting a couple dozen students. 🙄

Cops arrested around two dozen people from the encampment and attempted to leave campus.

Sadly the cops got surrounded by students who withstood violent outbursts from the cops to block the arrest vans' exit route.

Cops reportdly deployed pepper spray and flash bangs.

But there are hundreds of students blocking the road, they don't seem to have enough pepper spray.

There's jail support info for UT Austin a bit back in this thread.

Meanwhile UT Austin professors are asking for the public to call and complain to the school immediately.

In the face of pepper spray and stun grenades the college protesters still would not allow the cops to take their friends without resistance.

Unclear if the arrests vans made it out but the students were able to collapse a police line and were seen possibly heading back towards where the encampment had been.

A few hours ago it was reported that all of the students within the encapmanet were arrested and the entire crowd had been push off the quad.

Hillarious if the remaining kids are able to retake it and start yet another encampment.

The students have re-taken the lawn. They are reportedly cleaning up the trash left by the cops and working to continue the day's teach-in activities.

I'm still seeing a lot of recent posts about intermittent arrests from police.

The cops had to concentrate all their force around the arrest bus and give up the lawn in order to finally take away the people they arrested over the last 3-4 hours.

UT Austin students renewed their demands today.

They are demanding their university divest from Israel's war machine.

They want charges dropped for protesters and they demand the resignation of the university president, Jay Hartzell.
