Police fire flash bombs, etc… Misfire of live bullet
Students condemn use of force in peaceful protests
Anti-war protests also took place at universities in Australia and Canada.
It has been revealed that since the U.S. police began suppressing protests in university areas starting on the 18th of last month (local time), approximately 2,200 people (as of the 2nd) have been arrested or arrested. Columbia University and the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) have taken hard-line crackdowns, but protests are actually increasing.
The Associated Press reported on the 2nd, “Since 108 people were arrested at Columbia University in New York, about 2,200 people across the United States have been arrested by police on charges of illegal protests.” According to the New York Times (NYT), at least 200 people were imprisoned in the LA County Detention Center after the UCLA protesters were forcibly dispersed this morning. Columbia University, the City University of New York, Emerson University, and the University of Texas each had more than 100 students arrested, and protesters were arrested at 44 universities across the country.
There is also controversy over hard-line suppression. After footage of police firing flash grenades and rubber bullets at UCLA was broadcast live across the country, the academic union, which includes 48,000 California graduate students, said, “Force was used to suppress peaceful protests,” and “We will sue universities that requested police intervention.” “He criticized.
The New York Police (NYPD) also acknowledged its mistake after being revealed to have used live ammunition during the suppression process. The NYPD announced on the 2nd that “a police officer accidentally opened fire at Columbia University on the 30th of last month.” The day before, a video was released of a police officer throwing a 65-year-old Jewish professor to the ground at Dartmouth University.
Some analyzes say that police intervention increases participation in protests. The George Washington University academic journal reported, “The number of sit-in tents, which was about 20 until last week, has recently increased to more than 130.” Professors and staff at some universities in the Washington area declared their participation in the protest, saying, “We will protect students from the excessive physical force of the police.”
Protests are occurring one after another in other countries. Students at France’s Sciences Po voted on the 3rd and decided to occupy key locations at the university. Protests also took place at the University of Sydney in Australia and the University of Toronto in Canada.
