LAPD uses January 6 techniques to identify Jewish students who fought back at a UCLA pro-Hamas protest

They're studying Facebook posts. They're using frame-by-frame video screenshots of faces to match with gargantuan databases of named faces. They're seeking and taking tips from "friends" and relatives and ex-boyfriends.

For the UCLA Jewish students who got into a scrap with pro-Hamas illegal campout protestors, no doubt after hearing a slew of antisemitic statements and being blocked from attending class, they're doing exactly what they did to identify and hunt down January 6 protestors.

According to the Los Angeles Times, which reports this like it was a good thing:

It is shaping up to be perhaps the biggest case in the history of the UCLA Police Department: how to identify dozens of people who attacked a pro-Palestinian camp at the center of campus last week.

The mob violence was captured on live television, but it took three hours for police to bring it to an end. Those involved left, and no arrests were made.

But the trail is not cold.

UCLA detectives are now scanning hundreds of images in an attempt to identify the attackers. They intend to use technology that captures facial images and compares them to other photos on the internet and social media to put names to faces, according to law enforcement sources.

The same technology has allowed police to identify suspects in smash-and-grab retail burglaries. It also was the heart of the Jan. 6 investigation, in which videos of those storming the U.S. Capitol helped the FBI identify many of the assailants and led federal prosecutors to charge more than 1,300 people. In those cases, investigators often were able to find social media images of the assailant wearing the same clothing as during the attack.

American Jews will never unite. Religiously they go from Hassidim to atheist. There are those who attempt to marry within the Jewish ethnic group and those who don't. Economically they go from Marxist to Monetarist. I think the only thing they agree on is democracy. Being a minority, they pretty much have to.

At what point do you think you're going to get Norman Finkelstein and Ben Shapiro to agree on something?

wow....shocking....

[who_would_fardels_bear]

One of the Jewish protesters demanded not just the ability to go into the library, but the ability to go into the library through a particular door.

Only the naive would view that as anything but a purposeful provocation.

Same thing they are doing to those that"commit" self defense.

Kyle Rittenhouse, George Zimmerman, Daniel Penny, etc.

[toddausauras]

Pos pro hamas fbi. Sickening.

[Freest Republican]

Around the same time Bill Gates and Larry Ellison will agree on something.

if the jews were encamped calling for the genocide of the pals, the provocateurs would be easily identified, rounded up and removed from the premises.

I completely understand the confusion.

I have a Jewish friend I went to school with refuses to use any social media or marketing “rewards” program for this reason.

Shouldn’t they be targeting the terrorists, not the victims?

[nonliberal]

WAAAAAAAAAA. They beat up terrorists calling for their death. WAAAAAAAAA.

[ComputerGuy]

You’re right - it’s not going to happen. My wife’s family is a good example.

[MtnClimber]

I don’t know if we are in the end times, but we are in the fourth turning (fourth season-winter). If we don’t destroy ourselves maybe there will be another spring.

[Darksheare]

Yup.

[Organic Panic]

“Islam is the most powerful domestic force in the US”

And the marxist idiots and assorted rabble of “queers” LGTBWTF allies of the islamists think they won’t be throw from tall buildings, hanged from construction cranes, and beheaded for prime time television.

“LAPD uses January 6 techniques to identify Jewish students who fought back at a UCLA pro-Hamas protest”

I this another case of punishing folks for defending them selves and letting the perps skate?

[ComputerGuy]

There will be a ‘Purification’ phase, to be sure.

[Freest Republican]

He is 100% correct.

Good thing that we live in a nation of religious freedom that supposedly prizes individualism.

He is so correct that it largely applies to any reasonable subset of Americans even including islamists.

[MtnClimber]

Shouldn’t they be targeting the terrorists, not the victims?

You would think. Some think that the Jews should get on the trains in an orderly manner. And if they resist then they are violent and deserve the gas chambers. But if the groups were changed and it was blacks being vilified and denied access to campus...shoved around and the police did nothing. If the blacks burned everything down they would be commended. If the blacks burned everything down for a drug addict who died, they would be called "mostly peaceful". WTF?

[Tom in SFCA]

You can protest all you want but you cross the line when you initiate violence.

Thank you for speaking the truth. Many here have no actual principles. God hates that.

[Freest Republican]

God loves the no sanctity for human life Iranians.

[MeanWestTexan]

We are at the intersection of 1984, Brave New World, Animal Farm, and Idiocracy.

I actually favor Idiocracy.
