they were outnumbered but by arresting that is changing. also they had a shift change since they were standing there all night. they will be very methodical- it’s a complicated setup with a path through Royce and out the other side as well as hundreds of supporters beyond the encampment on public access land- not an easy approach like NYC. LAPD had to call in CHP, sheriffs - remember they were defunded, etc. now they have gotten green light, i have confidence in LAPD. we love them and know they are working w/one hand behind back due to Lefties.
The state universities like UCLA are state property. CHP is the state police so they take the lead. The other agencies are backup to CHP. USC is a private university on private land inside LA, they don’t have to deal with mayor or governor etc so they called the LAPD to break it up right away.
