We're up to 40 cops identified from the University of Utah encampment attack!
Pics like this one are extremely helpful! That "TY146" is a badge number. From this we were able to determine that Cameron Berg with Taylorsville PD was among the assailants. Now that that's documented the community will know FOREVER to look out for this dangerous pig who likes attacking college students!
“I have been reporting on political dissent and violent policing for 15 years, particularly in New York City. Compared to Tuesday night, I have never witnessed, at the scene of a protest, the use of police power so disproportionate to the type of demonstration taking place.”
The #NYPD in particular, and #cops in general, are such fucking clowns.
They're claiming the thick chains protestors at #Columbia used when occupying a building are proof that the protesters weren't real students.
In fact, not only are those chains widely used by students all over the city... Columbia itself sells them to students.
Don't fall for the NYPD's attempts to manufacture consent for violently attacking peaceful protesters. #StudentSpring#politics#ACAB

tweet from NYPD Deputy Commissioner, Operations Kaz Daughtry @NYPDDaughtry: "#HAPPENINGNOW: An incredible scene and proud moment as we have assisted @CityCollegeNY in restoring order on campus, culminating in raising Old Glory once again on their campus flagpole. 🇺🇸" There's also a video showing 3 cops attaching an american flag to the flagpole.
Doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results may not be the correct definition of insanity, but it is the definition of American #protest culture. You can’t defend someone if you refuse to actually defend. Fighting for what’s right is just that; a fight.
If there’s one lesson we should have learned over the past two decades, it’s no amount of playing by the rules will protect you from being portrayed and punished as a #anarchist.
The news out of Columbia University and UCLA last night is horrific. I can't even think of anything articulate to say, just...
Fuck the police.
Fuck genocide. I stand with those protesting against genocide and senseless killing.
The Columbia administration should be ashamed of themselves for calling in the cops. The right-wing thugs in LA are just plain shit-stains on the ass of humanity.
"U.S. Border Patrol agents freely used the derogatory slur “tonk” to describe unauthorized migrants on government computers, at times while joking about killing or beating them" #fascism#acab
Last night police and campus security reportedly stood by and allowed a fascist mob to beat pro-ceasefire protesters with impunity for hours so I think we've found our outside agitators.
Another predictable consequence of this moral panic that's gripped the country. #gazaprotests#gaza#acab
