California Highway Patrol officers in riot gear began taking apart barricades and arresting protesters at about 3 a.m. local time, according to NBC News. Many of the demonstrators resisted, leading to struggles between police and protesters. By about 5:15 a.m. local time, the only resistance to police came from a knot of protesters who had moved to a college library where they linked arms and said they would defy police. “Absolute chaos right now. Occupiers are trying to hold the main makeshift wall as police repeatedly fire flashbangs,” journalist Julio Rosas said in a post on X in which he shared video from the scene. “Dozens” of people were arrested, according to NBC News. One officer was injured. Newsweek reported that during the violence, Los Angeles police used rubber bullets against demonstrators battling authorities. Earlier, officers smashed through barricades of plywood and metal fencing. Protesters sprayed police with fire extinguishers as flares overhead lit the struggle, according to the Los Angeles Times. Flash- bang grenades were used by police to disperse the crowd. According to The Associated Press the protesters were told to leave or face arrest before the state police moved in. At the time of the officers’ intervention, about 1,000 people had gathered in the encampment opposing them. After taking down barricades, police were ripping up tents that had formed the nucleus of the protest site. On Tuesday, UCLA Chancellor Gene Block declared the anti-Israel encampment an unlawful assembly, according to the Times. “UCLA. supports peaceful protest, but not activism that harms our ability to carry out our academic mission and makes people in our community feel bullied, threatened and afraid,” Block said in a statement. “These incidents have put many on our campus, especially our Jewish students, in a state of anxiety and fear,” he said. Poster Comment: CHP is lucky these protesters were not of the same caliber as the SDS in Chicago during the 1968 Democrat National Convention. They were throwing baseballs with nails in them at the police. ;) Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest Begin Trace Mode for Comment # 37.
