Several protesters who were arrested at UCLA early Thursday morning spoke with Eyewitness News after their release and shared details of their experience. READ MORE HERE: abc7.com/protesters-arrested-...

The police showed incredible restraint and the whole world saw it. So you can’t lie .

[@montrelouisebohon-harris7023]

Exactly!!! I would’ve never been up at the US Capitol on January 6 for anything in the world because I would not want to feel like a sardine being amongst a bunch of people but the cops were very professional and they used rifles that we’re actually holding plastic bullets and they didn’t spray anybody with pepper spray until these people were spraying the police officers and Jewish people with fire extinguishers! WTH? I grew up in the 1970s and 1980s and I thought for sure they needed the National Guard but Joe said it wasn’t that bad and he’s not a dictator, but ironically enough, he sends the FBI out for everybody else even if they’re just to the school board meeting.

@@donkeykong5660, it's not a theory in the case of the campus protests. The actual police reported arresting individuals who have been at different protests for different causes and who just do violence. Police have reported that these individuals were well-known to the police. NYPD is now investigating whose idea it was to break into a university building and take it over (e.g., the students or these well-known individuals to police). For January 6, ZERO police reports cite such individuals; so the claims are just conspiracy/deflection -- which was replaced with alternative conspiracies and alternative explanations. The primary aspects thus far similar in both sets of unrest is that 1) windows were broken, 2) "protesters" trespassed, 3) "protesters" fought against law enforcement, and 4) "protester" poop inside a building but not in toilet. So, there is some overlap.

They want to help Gaza, send them to Gaza

[@scaryperi3051]

It's really simple, if you care about the Palestinian people, you'd be protesting for Hamas to surrender, not for Isarael to stop; the moment Hamas surrenders, this war is over, but alas, your goal is not to end the war and safeguard the Palestinian people, but to denounce Israel for defending itself from an asymmetrical threat that purposely uses (mostly voluntarily) human shields to garner sympathy from Western ultracrepidarians like yourselves--all part of Hamas' terror tactics and you all fell for it.

[@otisjenkinsjr.3556]

So if I care about the bullied person, I should tell them to stop defending themselves and just let the bully win? Ok got ya.

Fantastic use of the word ultracrepidarian. These sheep need removal to Gaza and understand what Islamism as represented by Hamas is. No rights for minorities, women, homosexuals. The mental gymnastics these sheep do to justify themselves is extraordinary.

Yet he got into government etc making millions.

[@1972Ray]

@@TDCLOL I worked in HR at a company in Maryland. I checked the Maryland Case files for any prior arrests or civil penalties. Traffic stuff was fine unless it was something crazy, but an arrest was a big flag, and anything like protesting (not that it ever came up)would get it tossed. The reason being that person my not work well in a group of people with diverse opinions. Thats what I was looking for. I believe the students that didn't assault officers, or vandalize on film will be able to expunge convictions, if it even comes to that. The police arrest record shows that half of the protestors at Colombia were not affiliated with the school.
