    The right to free speech and peaceful protest, what a funny joke.

      So ACAB, and we are a country with stupidly low quality of freedom despite the morons who just think guns=freedom, and fuck this was a BS move.

      However, the Constitution states only that the government will not pass laws that interfere with freedom of assembly. Courts have decided that this includes protests, picketing, labor strikes, etc.

      Courts have also concluded that this doesn’t mean you can assemble wherever you want, namely on private property. These students were essentially just trespassed by the university. Can’t really blame the policeor government for this one, unless you want to lean more extreme that they should be saying “fuck off, we disagree”. But I’d rather have a system where the police follow the law because I don’t trust any of them to make any good decisions on their own morals.

      The chief even came out with a statement that was a dig at the university president that he only observed peaceful protest, not the bullshit she was claiming.

        UT-Austin is public. University of Minnesota is public. Ohio State is public. All of these schools receive billions in government funding.

    Just had explosive interaction w/ @Columbia’s heightened security coming onto campus. They followed me to my office & then lied, saying I didn’t scan my ID for entry (I did) & I pushed an officer (I didn’t). An ugly scene followed. They did this to me, a tenured, full professor.

    And not a single one of the articles OP posted refer to these as anti-genocide protests.

    Every media outlet who keeps framing this as students supporting Palestine or opposing Israel is burying the lede, that these students wouldn’t be supporting or opposing anything if there wasn’t a fucking genocide.

      Thats why after years of tiktok bans being non starters the shit suddenly happened in like a week - its the only platform they can’t bully into censoring any mention of genocide.

    I’m a Columbia alum. Thank you op for continuing to bring this story and similar ones from all over the country to Lemmy. Hats off to The Spec for still covering the situation on campus. Shefik somehow hasn’t tried shutting them down just yet.

    I’m still shocked to think NYPD was actually brought into South Lawn. Even there police chief said everyone was peaceful and they were only there because the president called them in.

    Sniper on the roof of the Indiana Memorial Union at Indiana University. Gun pointed down at peaceful Gaza protesters in Dunn Meadow. This is 4 hours after the arrest of 22 students and 2 professors in the meadow. Have never seen anything like this on this campus.

      People should really start linking images directly, or at least link to screenshots of that site instead of linking directly to it. I can’t view this, and I won’t bother if it’s on that site.

        Would an archive link suffice?
