People were physically fighting and even shot fireworks at the encampment for three hours last night before the police showed up. How does that even happen?
Because policing is by in large is a right wing sympathetic institution in this country that won’t hesitate to beat up groups that left coded but getting them to crack down on right wing groups is like pulling teeth. Heck it ain’t a new phenomenon considering the numerous examples in the 60’s of how quick they were to beat up hippies and civil rights activists while at the same time turning a blind eye and even outright working with a certain terrorist organization known for wearing white hoods

So in conclusion, the "more permissive UC response" made protesters feel emboldened to push the line further by physically restraining, assaulting, and conducting citizen's arrests of Jewish students, physically blocking Jewish students from accessing campus, and chanting much more openly and obviously hateful and violent slogans than what we've seen at other protests.

This eventually led to counter-protesters conducting violent vigilantism when they no longer felt the police were ensuring the physical safety of UCLA's Jewish population.

And now the university has switched tactics and the police have arrested everyone and dismantled the encampment.

The lesson?  Well, who cares, I'm sure it will be quickly forgotten.

Provide a source for your claims, the protestors were not letting outside agitators inside of the encampment and the pro israel protestors were the ones who attacked the encampment on tuesday night by launching fireworks into the camp beating protestors with wooden blocks as well as releasing mice into the camp and spraying them with Mace.

None of what you've written here contradicts anything I said.

My claims have been widely documented by video footage and reporting from the UCLA campus.
