LOS ANGELES (NewsNation) — While the encampment on the University of California, Los Angeles campus has ended and protests have calmed down, the events over the past week have triggered anger, fear and new concerns for students trying to get back to normal.
After growing for about a week, the encampment was cleared by Thursday afternoon, with almost all the tents taken down. Heavy equipment was brought in to scoop up debris left behind.
Police arrested more than 200 people Thursday morning at UCLA after breaking up the pro-Palestinian encampment.
Many of the protesters surrendered and were arrested peacefully, although one person was seen by NewsNation being dragged away.
Protesters were loaded onto buses to be processed by law enforcement and transported to the Inmate Reception Center for holding. It’s unclear what disciplinary actions or charges those arrested may face, especially since UCLA is a public university.
The arrests came around 3 a.m. PT after police issued a disperse order before deploying flash-bangs and then tearing down barriers that had been erected around the encampment.
Before officers moved in, protesters shouted chants including “You don’t scare us” and “We’re not leaving.” They also sprayed some sort of tear gas or bear spray at approaching officers.

Force the Hamas Democrat rioters to clean up the graffiti.
“Before officers moved in, protesters shouted chants including “You don’t scare us” and “We’re not leaving.” They also sprayed some sort of tear gas or bear spray at approaching officers.”
I don’t imagine this had the effect of calming down the situation so that the rioters could peacefully withdraw from their occupation.
Order restored or the brats’ “demands” agreed to?
Mostly Peaceful Violent Protests?
Snowflakes + Group-think = Virtually identical snowflakes
Boomers and now millennials and Gen Z. I guess every other generation is a mess. Gen X was very well behaved.
#UCLA cops are removing the masks from the protesters so they can’t hide … from their parents, neighbors , future employers pic.twitter.com/Nl2zBwxWv6— Davinci23 (@Davinci23638919) May 2, 2024
I know that administration doesn’t have the stones or desire to do what is necessary, expulsion, to put an end to this. But maybe prosecution of those with the bear spray for battery in a peace officer is within the authorities’ skill set. That would Seattle a lot of the sea title lamb down
Let me guess: All charges dropped.
Re: Violent anti-fa and BLM, 2020.
Anyone who thinks this ends what the left is doing is deluded. This is merely the beginning of whatever phase 2 turns out to be.
I do not think that UCLA Chancellor Block agreed to any of their demands...To the best of my knowledge...
But, he did allow Hamas supporters to destroy some of UCLA campus and harass Jewish students...For a while...
For booking photos, those Hamas supporters had to remove their masks...I do not think there is any police agency which would allow a person to keep his/her mask on for the mugshot...
Good idea...But, I do not think that will happen in this case...
