Police arrest more than two dozen pro-Palestine protesters on UT-Austin campus amid tense standoff

So much courage, as opposed to their response at Uvalde.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

A student walkout at the University of Texas at Austin in support of Palestine turned chaotic Wednesday when police officers tried to disperse protesters using horses and riot gear, resulting in the arrest of at least 34 people.

The demonstration showed no signs of violence before authorities intervened, though police ordered the protesters multiple times to disperse and warned them they would be arrested for trespassing.

A procession of mounted state troopers and officers on foot then herded students farther using body shields and their horses, which at times came within grazing distance of protesters.

UT-Austin spokesperson Brian Davis told student protesters that law enforcement was called in because the Palestine Solidarity Committee had advertised that classes would be canceled.

As pro-Palestine and pro-Israel students engage in protests and heated discussions, school leaders have struggled to strike a balance between their roles as moderators and facilitators of intellectual debate on campus.

Jeremi Suri, a UT-Austin history professor, called the law enforcement response inappropriate and an “attack on students.” He said he did not find the protest to be disruptive when he had class this morning.

Can't win in the United States....people are complaining that the cops aren't doing shit about all these protests, and then when they do, people complain. Whatever...
