A encampment started up at my college yesterday and then ended things early because everyone marshalled over to UCLA, I wasn't on campus I was doing security for the mayday march in downtown which went 100% peacefully and was awesome we had over 5000 people from various unions and other groups in the community marching for housing for all and a ceasefire. But there was a hours long standoff with police at UCLA last night. The dean apologized about them being attacked by pro-Israel protestors last night, fireworks were launched into the encampment and backpacks full of mice were thrown into the encampment and several fights were people were seriously injured, and then told the students they had to leave by 6 or be arrested by a police sweep. As soon as this was announced, thousands of community members showed up to UCLA and had a stand off with police until they used flashbangs and less than lethal munitions several students were injured and arrested and detained this morning unsure on the final count, but it was truly chaotic. It was inspiring to see how many community members showed up to create a ring around the students and protect them.
