This week, students at Portland State University decided to take a break from whatever studies they have and make fools of themselves. They staged a die-in to protest the fact that police carry guns. Thats right. They want officers unarmed.
So, I do believe I have mentioned the die-in beforewhat that entails is a lot of us who are abused so to say were going to be laying down in the street outside so [the president] can see us so he knows what the Board of Trustees does to us, which is it kills us, one protester explained.
The video starts with the students chanting We want real diversity! Not a police-state university, then it shows some 200 of them laying down, blocking traffic with signs and their die in.
Whose streets? Our streets! they chanted, along with Black Lives Matter! and Disarm PSU! Disarm PSU!
The group Disarm PSU is a student group that was founded two years ago after the school voted to arm campus police officers. The raucous group has staged several protests before, but the school said they will not give in to their demands by disarming campus police, CampusReform is reporting.
Among the amplified comments from the students was this gem: The police are a tool of capitalism to control people in the state they arestaying in slavery, staying in poverty wages, staying in ridiculous working conditions.
Im pretty sure they havent seen the working conditions in most socialist countries.
College separates the men from the boys. The boys go to college.
One can only hope. \
Us older guys remember the score. National Guard 4, Kent State 0.
Kick the students out. Fire their teachers and the administrators who promote this.
I can’t believe how stupid college-age adults are in this country...
that’s cold man, really cold. :-)
