As if last week wasn’t traumatizing enough for those on campus, UCLA admin AGAIN escalated with a police response this morning.
Why would students feel safe on campus knowing that the school and mayor will continue to send these people after them?
Los Angeles elected officials are completely fine with using city resources for UCLA’s operation to arrest a bunch of students.
@MayorOfLA & @UCLAchancellor continue to send the cops after students. It’s fucked up. No elected official will call them out.
its worth noting that while rubber bullets are classified as “less lethal,” people have been killed by them. Cops fired potentially deadly weapons at unarmed students. campuses can’t just go back to normal when leadership is willing to put their students’ lives at risk like this
Rewriting the narrative in front of us. Cops destroyed property. Cops broke down doors and windows. Cops are shooting people in the face with rubber bullets. Trespassing and not going to class are by definition not violent. Fuck this loser and all his loser friends!!!
Feels kind of silly to have to say this but damage to property is not violent. Shooting college students in the face with rubber bullets is extremely violent however. Hope that helps
THOUSANDS of community members are out in front of the UCLA Palestine Solidarity Encampment, protecting the camp from the planned police raid.
WE NEED MORE BODIES! LA GET HERE NOW!
ALL POWER TO THE STUDENTS!
The stark contrast between UCLA — where cops let psychotic fascists assault defenseless kids — and Columbia — where cops themselves assaulted defenseless kids — on opposite sides of the country, on the same night, while the mainstream media spins it, is legitimately maddening.
A shocking testimony from a student that was at UCLA encampment yesterday:
“We were shocked by the unprovoked aggression from the Zionists who came to the encampment. They started attacking us violently, throwing objects and fireworks at us.
The blood on my hand is from my friend's skull. She was standing when suddenly one of them threw a large plank of wood at her; it directly hit her head—I could literally see her skull. She passed out, and we immediately rushed her to get medical attention. It felt like a war zone, and I am thankful to be alive.”
