It was a professor from Guatemala who said: “I felt like I was in a war zone.”
And he has a basis for comparison.
From the article;
From Guatemala, Keme came to the US as a teenager, escaping “a civil war against my people … involving the Guatemalan army, who received training from Israelis”.
He said: “Police immediately began to force people to move. I felt like I was in a war zone, with all the police and their weapons, the rubber bullets.”
The pigs tackled, teargassed, tazed, and fired pepper balls at protestors at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. Staff, students, and allies have been battered by the agents of state violence and arrested.
