Social media reports that at 1am local is when police will start breaking down the camps. They've warned the protestors to disperse or risk injury for last 30 minutes now.
UCLA potentially about to escalate. Getting multiple texts from local law enforcement contacts all essentially saying some version of “we’re going in”.

That's what the libs in CA want, then they have Gascon to prosecute the cops involved in the brawls needed to disperse and control the mobs.AtticusMatlock said:
They have apparently been instructed not to use tear gas or other disbursement methods. I'm not sure, but I think they've been largely outlawed in LA since 2020. These policies are going to lead to a lot more hands on violence.

Police now being sprayed with fire extinguishers. They are being remarkably calm. My guess is protesters will try to claim it was tear gas.

It looks like this is maybe a hundred people out of b thousands of students and a lot of these people are probably not even students. The big problem everyone needs to have is the administration not shutting this down sooner.
This is what I have been saying for months now!!
