Boy, it’s amazing how responsive they are in when it's a bunch of students protesting war crimes, as opposed to a bunch of students cowering in classrooms trying to avoid getting shot.
How else are the kids going to play dress-up with military surplus? Besides, e v e r y o n e knows a ceramic plate carrier is a prerequisite for dealing with any college student. Their words cut so deep.
You have to protect Ben Netanyahu from criticism. Nothing is more important.
The thin yellow line is certainly well documented at this point.
Texas cops at an elementary school shooting: "Someone is armed and shooting! Imma stay hidden."
Texas cops at a peaceful, unarmed protest against genocide: "These boots were made for stomping, and that's just what they'll do."
It makes sense, the protestors were clear and honest about their non-violent intentions, which is perfect as a target of oppression. They don't get any warning for real crimes like school shootings so there's nothing they can do, too bad.
Sound like the solution is the arm the protesters.
It should be noted these are State Troopers, who basically follow Abbott's orders these days, and are always itching to put on a show for the cameras, eg the one above. APD
and UTPDdon't seem to be involved in this.Edit: UTPD was involved:
UT Police Assistant Chief Ashley Griffin issues a dispersal order to those present. That statement was read over campus loudspeakers, Ryan Chandler reports.
“I command you in the name of the People of the State of Texas to disperse, and if you do not, you shall be arrested for Violation of Penal Code Section 42.01 Disorderly Conduct, 42.02 Riot, 42.03 Obstructing a Highway or other passageway,” the order reads.
From everything I've seen, this was a peaceful, mobile protest that caused no disruptions until the police caused disruptions.
thank you for making it your Texas
That was a fucking lie.
Aaahh look at these adorable wanna be somethings. Heros that ran in to a school when there was an active shooter killing little kids, look how proud they stand not shitting there pants because now there are no guns fireing. Quick throw an acorn….
You can have anything you want At Alice's restaurant
But if you mention Israel in a negative way, believe it or not, jail.
Those aren't cops, those are street hockey players.
Game on.
Is it fair to fight in hockey?
If you show up with a hockey stick to this game .... you're gonna get shot.
Seems like the perfect time to pull the rug out and switch locations to protest at City Hall. Fuck these RoboCop clowns.
I feel like I seen this move. It was an older one though. Maybe it was made in the 70s or so.
"Just me and my heavily armed boys" (smh)
Didn’t csny have something to say about this like fucking 50 years ago fml
The irony of the message on the red stand banner.
