Police raid UCLA pro-Palestinian camp and make arrests

Flashbangs could be heard as police moved in on a pro-Palestinian demonstrators’ encampment on the UCLA campus. The overnight law enforcement effort came after officers spent hours threatening arrests over loudspeakers if people did not disperse.

  1. Wow.. Divine justice has awakened finally. The dirty things which the US has done all these decades upon other nations including vibrant democracies, is now surfacing well in its own soil. KARMA SPARES NONE 😅😊😊

  4. Wonderful, 15k children 20k women and men and if you demonstrate, police with a few months of training will teach you. Land of the free.

  9. During the riots (sorry, “peaceful protests” as always described by Western politicians and media) in Hong Kong 2019 – 20, students took over the Chinese University of Hong Kong and the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. The rioters (sorry, “peacefully protesters” as always described by Western politicians and media) used petrol bombs against the police at both places, and bows and arrows at PolyU. At the CUHK they threw rocks and metal onto the nearby railway line and onto the Tolo Highway. At the PolyU they tried to block the Cross Harbor Tunnel. They also threw rocks at ordinary citizens trying to clear the barricades the rioters (sorry, “peacefully protesters” as always described by Western politicians and media) had built between Austin Road and Chatham Road. The Hong Kong Baptist University, the City University of Hong Kong and the University of Hong Kong were also occupied by the rioters (sorry, “peaceful protesters” as always described by Western politicians and media). Politicians from the US and UK expressed support for the rioters (sorry, “peaceful protesters” as always described by Western politicians and media). Nancy Pelosi called the overall violence and mayhem a “beautiful sight”, and Ted Cruz travelled to Hong Kong to offer his support. Various other politicians from the US & UK sought to instruct the government of Hong Kong as to how it should deal with the violence (sorry, “peaceful protests” as always described by Western politicians and media). It is highly amusing to see these protests at campuses in the US being described as if the whole of academia in the country was now on the verge of irreparable collapse. It is also interesting to see how the US police behave considering how the Global West castigated the police in Hong Kong during the riots (sorry, “peaceful protests as always described by Western politicians and media). The Global West backed the riots (sorry, “peaceful protests as always described by Western politicians and media) hoping to discredit China. It wanted to put so much pressure on the Hong Kong Police that the PLA would be have to be deployed on the streets. The Hong Kong Police were too professional for that to be required. It would also be amusing if these protests on campuses around the US necessitated the deployment of the National Guard. Karma. Flashbangs used against peaceful protesters? The Global West lectured Hong Kong on how to deal with violent rioters but do this to their own students. Hypocrisy.

  25. Protesting about the killing of unborn children in USA you get applauded, protesting about the killing of Palestinian children you get criminalised. Not rational to the rest of the world.

  27. Aaaahhhh, the American student! Take what is, in the rest of the world outside the USA and Israel, an old ideal and assume it's brand new. Why? Because they have only just heard about it from a 'contrary to establishment' professor that works in a university that prides itself on 'contrary to the established thinking'. And what do they do about this 'new' world view? Hold a protest on campus!
