Turning Point USA student group attacked at California university campus: 'What mostly peaceful looks like'

A group of conservative students were assaulted and had their equipment destroyed on Thursday when masked protesters attacked them before an event on a California university campus.

Turning Point USA at UC Davis, a registered student organization, was hosting a "Prove me Wrong" event with Brandon Tatum, a guest speaker, when protesters destroyed camera gear, a tent, event signage, flipped tables, and assaulted group staff, Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, wrote on X.

"While our people were under attack, police stood aside and did nothing," he wrote. "Our team is understandably shaken up, but they assure me they will not back down."

In a statement to Fox News Digital, the university said protesters disrupted the event at Memorial Union Quad by confronting members of the student organization.

"The UC Davis Police Department took one report of an assault," the school said. "No one requested medical aid. The event with the guest speaker took place on schedule and was completed without further incident. The university protected the free speech rights of the campus community throughout the event."

The student group invited Tatum, a former police officer known for his popular YouTube Channel, to speak on the campus at 1 p.m. An hour before the event began, 30 people approached the tent and table staffed by supporters of the event.

One demonstrator struck someone who approached the table with a cell phone, the school said. Other demonstrators pulled down the tent and engaged in shoving with those staffing the tent and others nearby. The protesters left the area before returning minutes later and trying to remove a tent.

No one has been arrested.

Videos of the chaos posted online show protesters holding a large banner with "ACAB," an acronym for "All Cops Are Bastards," as they approached the event area.

I watched that video at the link. It immediately struck me as a Planet of the Apes protest scene, when the apes were protesting and had signs...All these people here dressed in black remind me of that monkey movie.

All those years of conservatives supporting the police and defending them from the nut job liberals has accomplished what for us...exactly?

1) While our people were under attack, police stood aside and did nothing.

2)No one has been arrested.

With all the chaos going on elsewhere with cars burning and being keyed, it’s something we can still have some normalcy.

The cops can look forward to still warm donuts and nice hot Java. And no hours of detailed arrest forms to fill out online.

Standard Communist behavior.

With any luck their day has passed, and they just haven't gotten the memo yet. I hope they do get he memo it is in prison, which is exactly where they belong.

Examples need to be made.

Hire a couple football players or wrestlers to provide security. They love to scrap with commies in masks. We’ll post the knockouts on YouTube with music…
