Violence erupted between protesters and counter-protesters at UCLA late Tuesday night, just hours after the NYPD moved in and arrested dozens of protesters who had occupied a building on the Columbia University campus. Lilia Luciano has the latest on the pro-Palestinian campus protests that have overwhelmed universities nationwide.

Adams is right about agitators; same when Floyd was murdered in the summer of 2020...

[@rosemadder5547]

You shouldn't need agitators to make you outraged at genocide and try to stop it. And these kids know why and what they're standing up against. It's propaganda to say it's all caused by agitators when a huge number of campuses across the world are protesting genocide all together in solidarity. Anyone that can't see that has to be just purposely turning a blind eye. Genocide is bad. Standing up against it is normal and moral, and should be empathized with at the least.

[@papercityvlogs4325]

​​@@rosemadder5547no one cares about the American citizens held hostage or the abortion bans. But it is suddenly about Palestine. Where were they 6 months ago. Timing and organization shows outside planning. Students think they are going to bring change. Even if Israel gives up territory Hamas and Palestine Islamic Jihad will continue to fight. Peace is not lucrative for Hamas. They will drag this on forever. By the time these students realize it it will be too late.

Police have no right to use excessive force against peaceful protesters. Chemical spray and pellet guns are for use when officer safety is compromised or when fleeing from police. Excessive force is when police tase, pepper spray, or use pellet guns to hurry things along.

[@futurelane3377]

Well they were turning violent and the campuses called the police. As clearly shown and said in the video. So they can to maintain order or restore back to order. There was nothing peaceful about it.

[@YouTubeCensorsEverything]

Agreed. The IDF supporters are vastly worse and seem to be the only ones prone to violence. In spite of all the attacks and provocation they harmed no one. More tolerance than I could ever muster in the face of that.

[@amabcharat6670]

[@YouTubeCensorsEverything]

@amabcharat6670 Respectively you can go to Israel and get drafted into the IDF. Then you might actually realize that the Zionists had planned before Oct.7 to destroy all the people of Palestine and take the land. Netanyahu"s political survival hinges on wars. His political existence hinges on a constant state of war. He spent years propping up Hamas.
