Texas cops arrested nonviolent protesters, but stood outside of an elementary school in dire need of police presence. Smh. Where are the Texas police priorities?

[@kbrown5218]

Uvalde Police Chief called the orders & later fired. DPS was in Uvalde & one officer was under investigation who was later fired but with no explanation as to why why. When a cop tells you to move... Move. Do not hit a cop. This has been edited.

[@rickw3243]

2 separate incidents, years apart & involving different law enforcement agencies is an ad hominem fallacy.

It’s ridiculous Israel officials calling on American officials to send in national guards on American student

[@Jake4Truth]

Hatred towards the students.

[@kbrown5218]

I bet you didn't know that that has happened before. Twice. American history is very important.

[@soufwesthoustontx]

The girl at 1:17 is unaware the entire protest was live streamed. They want to protest, but disapprove other students being able to protest. All students have a right to protest regardless of if they are Israeli or Palestinian students.

[@dextermoore278]

THE UT UNIVERSITY CALLED THE POLICE BECAUSE THESE STUDENTS WERE NOT ALLOWED TO EVEN BE THERE!! THE UNIVERSITY TOLD THEM, NO!!!! DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT NO MEANS!!!???????????? THEREFORE, THEY HAVE NO RIGHT TO BE THERE CAUSING TROUBLE. THESE IDIOTS WILL JUST GET ARRESTED AGAIN.!!!!

[@bridgetteyoung1930]

Why are y'all protesting over here??????

[@threedogzz]

American Zionists and US institutions are supporting genocide in Gaza. That’s why

[@sennataylor592]

UT is one of many American universities that is giving millions of dollars to weapons manufacturers supplying Israel.

[@lalo80adams71]

im wondering the same, "actual Americans" could care less about the middle east... Children get killed in America everyday... And i can't stand either side equally...

[@dextermoore278]

WHY DID THESE STUDENTS GO BACK TO UT WHEN THEY DONT HAVE PERMISSION FROM UT TO EVEN BE THERE???? WHERE ARE THE POLICE???

[@sagapoetic8990]

If there is truth Gazans' organs are being stolen and trafficked and some were buried alive at the Nasr Hospital graves discovery -- add that to the long list. There's no just war in Gaza. The Constitution grants people the right to speak and to protest, yourself included. We take an oath to defend our Constitution and country -- no one took an oath to be loyal to the USSR or Israel or any other foreign country. To arrest people for criticizing a foreign government's policies is a travesty of our democratic system.

[@soufwesthoustontx]

Their tuition gave them permission.

[@sennataylor592]

What permission? UT is a public university, the campus is accessible to the public. The students had a right to protest in a public space.

[@sbp961]

Palestinian and Israeli fight, and an American pay the bills for both sides 😅. Stop the war and keep American tax money for Americans.

[@sennataylor592]

Student at 1:18 is grossly misrepresenting the peaceful protest and how biased the police response was. Police were so biased that the mounted police literally had their backs facing the Jewish students protesting but started arresting pro-Palestine protestors as the students were starting to disperse. One of the student leaders was in the middle of telling protestors to disperse and talking with a cop on what route the students should take to exit the quickest when 3 more cops came over. He was the very first to be arrested. He did nothing wrong! He was in the middle of complying and was still arrested, but the police, pro-Israel news, and Zionists won’t ever mention that.

Peaceful protest my ass. Don’t other student have a right to not be disrupted while trying to be in the classroom or trying to study in the library? Final exams are next week!

[@sennataylor592]

You know what’s actually a disturbance? UT Police blasting their announcement to disperse across the entire campus. I’m a UT grad student and I heard the announcement from a block off-campus. My friends who were studying in campus libraries’ designated quiet zones also heard the announcement because it blared through the library speakers. The protestors didn’t bother their studying, but the police sure did.

[@AJXOXO-vz1pn]

@@sennataylor592 Thecops wouldn’t have had to do that if the so-called “peaceful” protestors would just be peaceful and not be loud and disruptive. The organizers of this thing knew what they were doing.

Where does our Constitution state this or that we take an oath to Israel? I'm American -- my oath is only to my country, not to any other foreign country. Israel included. I am Christian -- God would not waive his Ten Commandments for any of his people -- we are suppose to follow these. Not just when it's convenient. Please stop manipulating my religion and country.

[@Jake4Truth]

👉 Romans 9: 6 "For all are not Israelites that are of Israel: 7 Neither are all they that are the seed of Abraham, children" [of God] It's amazing reading about how many Palestinians trace back to 3100 BC (Megiddo DNA study). About 40% of Palestinians are ✝️. They and Messianic ✡️ (both treated badly by 🇮🇱) would then be the Chosen. (1 Peter 2:9, Gal. 3:16, Rom. 9:6-8)

[@Theendbeginsagain]

That’s not true. Roughly 6.5% of the global Palestinian population is Christian collectively.
