“UCLA now finds itself in a far more vulnerable place. The attack last night was pure anarchy in which violent thugs were given free rein, seemingly with the tacit support of law enforcement.”

“I have been reporting on political dissent and violent policing for 15 years, particularly in New York City. Compared to Tuesday night, I have never witnessed, at the scene of a protest, the use of police power so disproportionate to the type of demonstration taking place.”

I’ve Covered Violent Crackdowns on Protests for 15 Years. This Police Overreaction Was Unhinged.
When police attacked student protesters, a lone trash can was the only damaged property I saw around City College of New York.Natasha Lennard (The Intercept)
They're claiming the thick chains protestors at #Columbia used when occupying a building are proof that the protesters weren't real students.
In fact, not only are those chains widely used by students all over the city... Columbia itself sells them to students.
Don't fall for the NYPD's attempts to manufacture consent for violently attacking peaceful protesters.

Why Does the NYPD Hate This Bike Chain
Columbia University allowed police to storm campus Tuesday night, and Wednesday morning, the NYPD Deputy Commissioner accused student protestors of using an "industrial" chain to barricade doors.Samantha Cole (404 Media)
Ah yes, cops trampling those pesky first-amendment rights in order to raise a symbol of our freedom.

The news out of Columbia University and UCLA last night is horrific. I can't even think of anything articulate to say, just...
Fuck the police.
Fuck genocide. I stand with those protesting against genocide and senseless killing.
The Columbia administration should be ashamed of themselves for calling in the cops. The right-wing thugs in LA are just plain shit-stains on the ass of humanity.
Free Palestine. Stop Genocide. 🇵🇸 ☮️
Cops were seen entering the building with guns drawn. They raided the building room by room with pistols drawn and at times carrying basaltic shields.
... Naturually I've still not seen any reports about any weapons charges etc. Feel like that would be a huge deal if the cops had actually found anything material to justify all this.... anyways.

I'm not the only one who thinks the cops were over board. Here's a cop himself telling a loved one about his day . . .
His previous text reads:
"I thought we fucking shot someone"

There's a TON of footage of brutal take downs, cops dog piling people who are already down, and of course dragging them while beating the crap out of them to make it look like their reaction to being dragged is them "resisting".
But, first I think you should see this meme!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

"The practice of giving sedatives to people detained by police has spread quietly across the nation over the last 15 years, built on questionable science and backed by police-aligned experts...
"At least 94 people died after they were given sedatives and restrained by police from 2012 through 2021, nearly 10% of the more than 1,000 deaths of people subdued by police in ways that are not supposed to be fatal. About half of the 94 who died were Black" #acab

If you've been following along today, you probably can guess what happened next...
Of course a column of cops in riot gear attempted to storm into the crowd and began violently arresting peaceful protesters.
Reportedly 15 arrests so far.

Police snipers made an appearance today atop the Indiana Memorial Union on Indiana University's campus.
Students on IU's campus have setup a Liberation Zone protest and demand their university divest from Israel inline with BDS. They also make specific mention of a local miltary partnership with Crane Naval Base which has a key roll in supplying large munitions to Israel.

Students are reporting teargas and rubber bullets were fired at Emory this morning with many arrested. They are requesting donations, if you're able, to the ATL Solidarity bail fund.
On Emory's campus this morning, Atlanta police were seen continuing to tase an already handcuffed student. He'd been thrown to the ground and handcuffed with no resistance yet the cops are out here torturing him in plain sight.
Clearly demonstrating why cop city must never be built.

Since people are talking about Kent State, Ohio, 1970, it's a good time to talk about Jackson State, Mississippi, 1970.
Similar situation, except there was no active protest, just a bunch of students hanging out. The mayor of Jackson declared a riot and called in the pigs. Someone threw a glass bottle, not at the pigs, but they still opened fire. Phillip Gibbs, a student at Jackson State, and James Green, a high school student who was walking home from his job, were murdered by cops. Many others were wounded.
