Anti-Israel Protestors Arrested at UMass Amherst Encampment
“The entire encampment has been torn down. Protestors continue to be arrested. A helicopter was spotted above campus.”
Some of these protesters want this conflict with police. You will never convince me otherwise.

BREAKING: Students are being arrested at UMass Amherst. Footage isn't for the faint of heart. A possible student activist rushes in to prevent the arrest of another encampment occupier.
No one backs him up as he tries to prevent the arrest and overwhelm the police. He proceeds… pic.twitter.com/CDNYLdr2nJ

So glad I am not working at Zoo Mass anymore.
I hope they get expelled.
“… a legal observer from the National Lawyer’s Guild …”
I’m going to go out on a limb here and say I don’t think the police brought this one along. Therefore, he/she/xe’s one of the terrorists.
They’ve learned a lot about propaganda in Hamas training camp.
National Lawyer’s Guild. Well, at least you can say that it isn’t an extreme right-wing organization. 🙂
A red diaper baby from my home area had an uncle who was one of the founders of the National Lawyer’s Guild.
