Mounted Police Clear Pro-Palestinian Protesters at University of Texas

Hundreds of local and state police — including some on horseback and holding batons — cleared pro-Palestinian protesters at the University of Texas campus in Austin. About 30 arrests were made. The University says its campus will not be occupied. Similar protests have been held at college campuses across the country.
Students protesting the Israel-Hamas war are demanding schools cut financial ties to Israel and divest from companies enabling the conflict. Some Jewish students say the protests have veered into antisemitism and made them afraid to set foot on campus, partly prompting a heavier hand from universities.

From the river to the sea what a waste of a degree.

I like when women are protesting for Hama and Palestine in the West, without knowing how Hamas and the Palestinian governments treat them as women.

[hotel]

I bet more than half of them don't even know what they are protesting for

[No-yvix]

I see those mounted police in downtown Austin on the weekends. You don’t realize how big and intimidating a Clydesdale horses until you’re standing next to it. I have seen them do some crowd control and their batons are like 3 feet long and they do not mind using them.

clowns and circuses. What a sham the US has become.

Where was this level of enforcement during the BLM riots of 2020?

[milmil]

Give these protestors some Arab style justice….see how they like it.

The red head woman yelling "push me forward!" then gets tossed back like a toddler with ease 😂😂😂

[tawandasue]

A good rule of life is to never touch, push or hit a law enforcement officer. Especially in Texas.

[karenclark]

Who would’ve thought that such stupidity could exist in our United States of America🤦🏻‍♀️ This is the saddest thing I have ever seen

[NiskaMagnusson]

amazing that people can be so passionate about something they don't understand

[edgardtorres]

I suspect half of these protesters don’t know why they are protesting !!!

[freaksexpose]

The dress which the protesters wearing cant even go in Palestine by wearing that

[kimberlinquinn]

Why are faces covered looks WICKED to me

[ren-gzwh]

Who laughed when she said, "push me forward!"

[Milnip]

No empathy for these people how they are treating Jewish students.

[Ont]

Thee kids would protest anything if it’s popular.
