Israel-Hamas war protests close on a handful of US campuses as arrests exceed 2,300 - eviltoast
A tally by the AP recorded at least 56 incidents of arrests at 43 different U.S. colleges or universities since April 18.

I want to see the people coming into these threads defending the cops closing down these camps defend the cops arresting 2300 people.

    I agree. After all, music and dancing are also forms of expression but nobody would be surprised if an unauthorized multi-day on-campus rave were shut down by the cops. Or for that matter if the cops showed up to end a loud frat party.

    That said, I also think the police response has (predictably) been too heavy-handed.
