Police clear Portland State library; protesters arrested

Portland police officers finished clearing protesters occupying Portland State University's library just before 10:30 a.m. Thursday.

Portland police officers are asking protesters occupying Portland State University's library to leave or risk being arrested.

[Yeezus]

Imagine if we protested for our vets & homeless.

So they do thousands of dollars of damage to the library and thats peaceful?

[joeypollack]

they are not protesters and this was not a protest. You guys are giving them credence by calling them anything but TERRORISTS.

I wasn't aware any American college had power to control other countries military let alone ours. 🤷🏻‍♂️

The Governor stated that vandalism and destruction are unacceptable… but that’s not true. Show us some consequences for protestors’ criminal behavior.

[guidosarducci]

When will these people figure out, they are protesting in the wrong country....

[johnoliverio]

Our current DA will let them go with an ice cream cone & no charges.

Nothing helps further your cause and win people over like occupying a building and being douchebags.

[MoneyMkrMan]

Now they are trying to separate themselves from the "bad actors". Guilty By Association!

Yeah pretty obvious and not surprising at all that most of the squatters in the library weren't actually students

[joeypollack]

ironically when I was in college there were literally more protests than I can count, all of which were PEACEFUL. not once did the college have the need to cancel classes, no one got blocked from going places, and nothing was vandalized defaced or destroyed. I cannot walk into the PSU library and I hold an advanced degree. Which is fine, but the point is how did these people get in?

[ixzemkx]

OMG why hasn’t military been called in? This is just ridiculous.👮🏼‍♀️💯

[joeypollack]

I have not forgotten 9/11, did the rest of America?

[donaldfeger]

That's why tuition is sooo high!? Well college today is a waste of money!

[itowedin]

Poor Chynna Green. Why does she get all the bummer tasks? She's their best anchor.

[billbillards]

Horrible coverage. This is why nobody watches mainstream media.

I see Portland is confirming their cesspool of Oregon status again!

[rdkuless]

You don't ask the PSU admin to call for a cease fire in a foreign country.. You contact the WH and tell little joeyB to do that.. You are directing your anger at the wrong people..
I thought PSU had educated students with college level communication skills.. Not sheeple..

[jameshudson]

maybe the governess could call in the national guard?

[robertscott]

No law and order anymore. No accountability.
