Colleges nationwide turn to police to end pro-Palestine protests as commencement ceremonies near

COMPARED TO THESE PAST FEW DAYS AS ANTOINETTE CERTAINLY AND OBVIOUSLY WE맥스카지노�VE ALL SEEN THE IMAGES COMING OUT OF NEW YORK AND HAD NOT BEEN THE CASE IN BOSTON. THAT맥스카지노�S CERTAINLY NOW APPEARS TO BE ARE SIMILARITIES. YOU CAN SEE WHAT WAS THE ENCAMPMENT HERE AT THE ALLEY IS NOW COMPLETELY GONE. YOU CAN SEE IT맥스카지노�S BLOCKED OFF A CRIME SCENE TAPE, BUT THERE맥스카지노�S STILL SOME STUDENTS HERE ON SCENE. THERE맥스카지노�S OBVIOUSLY A LOT OF POLICE OFFICERS, BUT LET맥스카지노�S SHOW YOU THE IMAGES FROM OVERNIGHT. THIS ALL COMES FROM STUDENTS AND A LOT OF STUDENT JOURNALISTS THAT WERE OUT HERE AT THE SCENE OVERNIGHT. FROM THE STUDENTS WE HAVE SPOKEN WITH AROUND 1 A.M., SOME KIND OF ANNOUNCEMENT WAS MADE SAYING THAT IF YOU WERE GOING TO STILL BE OUT HERE IN THE ALLEY, THERE WAS THE LIKELIHOOD YOU WERE GOING TO BE ARRESTED. AT SOME POINT, POLICE TOLD THESE PROTESTERS THAT THEY NEEDED TO DISPERSE FROM THE ALLEY, OR AGAIN, THEY WOULD BE BE ARRESTED. AND CERTAINLY THAT APPEARS TO BE WHAT THE CASE WAS. WE ARE STILL TRYING TO GET A HEAD COUNT ON HOW MANY STUDENTS WERE ULTIMATELY ARRESTED FROM THE STUDENTS WE맥스카지노�VE SPOKEN WITH, THEY ESTIMATE ANYWHERE FROM AS LOW AS 60, POTENTIALLY TO AS MANY AS 100. BUT HERE맥스카지노�S LET맥스카지노�S TAKE A LISTEN FROM A STUDENT WHO WAS PART OF THIS DEMONSTRATION IN THE LAST COUPLE DAYS, WHO THEN, ONCE THEY MADE THE ANNOUNCEMENT THAT ARRESTS WERE IMMINENT, HE WENT UPSTAIRS TO HIS DORM AND WATCHED THE EXPERIENCE FROM UPSTAIRS. TAKE A LISTEN. BEING THERE AND SEEING THE PEOPLE STANDING AROUND ME, GETTING DRAGGED TO THE GROUND, GETTING ARRESTED, IT WAS IT WAS HORRIFYING. IT WAS ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING. LIKE, I맥스카지노�M I맥스카지노�M STILL SHAKING FROM THE EXPERIENCE. I SPOKE WITH ANOTHER STUDENT WHO JUST DESCRIBED. SHE SAID JUST THE VIOLENCE THAT IT TOOK TO GET THE STUDENTS OUT OF HERE. WE ARE STILL WAITING TO FIND OUT IF THERE WERE ANY INJURIES FROM THIS, WHETHER IT WAS TO THE STUDENTS OR TO THE OFFICERS. OBVIOUSLY, FROM THOSE IMAGES, YOU CAN SEE IT WAS A VERY LARGE POLICE PRESENCE. THERE맥스카지노�S ALSO NO HEAD COUNT ON HOW MANY STUDENTS WERE IN THE ALLEY AT THE TIME OVER. SINCE THEY STARTED THAT ENCAMPMENT ON SUNDAY. IT맥스카지노�S RANGED ANYWHERE FROM WHEN I맥스카지노�VE BEEN OUT HERE FROM AS FEW AS 20 TO 30 PEOPLE TO AS MANY AS 100. AGAIN, FROM THOSE IMAGES YOU CAN SEE THERE WAS CHANTING. THERE WAS CHEERING. UH, AND SO WE STILL HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS THIS MORNING, ONE OF THE BIGGEST ONES WAS WHY THE DECISION WAS MADE NOW TO GO INTO THIS ENCAMPMENT TO BREAK IT UP AGAIN. THEY맥스카지노�VE BEEN OUT HERE SINCE SUNDAY. WE맥스카지노�VE SPENT ALL WEEK LONG TALKING ABOUT THE CHALLENGE WITH THIS ALLEY IS THE FACT THAT IT IS EMERSON맥스카지노�S CAMPUS. BUT ALSO THERE맥스카지노�S OTHER BUILDINGS IN THAT ALLEY THAT NEED ACCESS TO THAT ARE NON EMERSON BUILDINGS. SO THERE NEEDED TO BE A RIGHT OF WAY. THAT IS CERTAINLY SOME OF THE QUESTIONS WE HAVE. AND AS SOON AS WE GET THOSE ANSWERS FROM BOSTON, OFFICIALS FROM EMERSON OFFICIALS, WE WILL

While grappling with growing protests from coast to coast, schools have the added pressure of May commencement ceremonies. At Columbia University in New York, students defiantly erected an encampment where many are set to graduate in front of families in just a few weeks.

Columbia continued to negotiate with students after several failed attempts 맥스카지노� and over 100 arrests 맥스카지노� to clear the encampment, but several universities ousted demonstrators Wednesday, swiftly turning to law enforcement when protests bubbled up on their campuses.

Police peacefully arrested student protesters at the University of Southern California, hours after officers at the University of Texas at Austin aggressively detained dozens in the latest clashes between law enforcement and those protesting the Israel-Hamas war on campuses nationwide.

Tensions were already high at USC after the university canceled a planned commencement speech by the school맥스카지노�s valedictorian, who publicly supports Palestine, citing safety concerns. After scuffles with police early Wednesday, a few dozen demonstrators standing in a circle with locked arms were detained one by one without incident later in the evening.

Officers encircled the dwindling group sitting in defiance of an earlier warning to disperse or be arrested. Beyond the police line, hundreds of onlookers watched as helicopters buzzed overhead. The school closed the campus.

Hours earlier in Texas, hundreds of local and state police 맥스카지노� including some on horseback and holding batons 맥스카지노� bulldozed into protesters, at one point sending some tumbling into the street. Officers pushed their way into the crowd and made 34 arrests at the behest of the university and Texas Gov. Gregg Abbott, according to the state Department of Public Safety.

A photographer covering the demonstration for Fox 7 Austin was in the push-and-pull when an officer yanked him backward to the ground, video shows. The station confirmed that the photographer was arrested. A longtime Texas journalist was knocked down in the mayhem and could be seen bleeding before police helped him to emergency medical staff.

Dane Urquhart, a third-year Texas student, called the police presence and arrests an 맥스카지노�overreaction," adding that the protest 맥스카지노�would have stayed peaceful맥스카지노� if the officers had not turned out in force.

맥스카지노�Because of all the arrests, I think a lot more (demonstrations) are going to happen,맥스카지노� Urquhart said.

Police left after hours of efforts to control the crowd, and about 300 demonstrators moved back in to sit on the grass and chant under the school's iconic clock tower.

Columbia graduate student Omer Lubaton Granot, who put up pictures of Israeli hostages near the encampment, said he wanted to remind people that there were more than 100 hostages still being held by Hamas.
