LAPD uses January 6 techniques to identify Jewish students who fought back at a UCLA pro-Hamas protest
American Thinker ^ | 7 May, 2024 | Monica Showalter

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.

"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."

How dare that Jew provoke them by attempting to enter the library through the "No Jews Allowed" door.

“Your anti-Semitism is showing again.”

Look I’m getting sick of some of you ziobots and your continuous slander every time I make a comment you don’t approve of. Nothing I’ve ever posted on this forum could be construed as antisemitic except by some of the zealots on here. Grow up.

What he "should" be able to do in an ideal world, and what he "should" do from a more pragmatic perspective are two different things.

He was obviously not interested in going into the library. He wanted to intimidate the protesters and hopefully get them to swing at him.

It's a university and police matter. If the university allows it, and it is their property, then that's that. If people are in real danger, then the police should respond, which is what happened.

If the police don't do their job, either because they refuse or the don't have sufficient manpower, then the city mayor and council need to be petitioned to remove the police commissioner or give more funds to the police.

We saw what happened on Jan 6 and what happened at the numerous BLM and Antifa riots when conservatives protested or showed up to counter-protest: it was the conservatives who were arrested.

So you’re one of the naive ones.

Your argument reverses causality. It is the Hamas supporters causing the provocation by blocking the entrance. Not the Jewish student attempting to enter the library.

The LAPD is busy hunting down Jews?

Yet another reason to defund and disband the enforcement arm of the Democrat Party: urban police departments.

Ah another ziobot who wants to control the discourse and silence any views they don’t like. What makes you people any different calling people antisemites than Al Sharpton calling people racists? You use the exact same LEFTIST techniques he does. The only difference is you substitute “Jews and/or Israel” for “people of color”. Otherwise it’s the exact same thing.

I watched almost the entire video of that. The pro-Israel protesters were the ones who initiated the violence.

Oh boy, you've done it now.

Interesting how that simple post of mine #15 just recounting what I witnessed in that video of the UCLA protests is driving some here crazy. There was NOTHING antisemitic about that post by any stretch of the imagination. Apparently anything that might put pro Israel protesters in a bad light is considered antisemitic now.

This should bring in the ACLU and Jewish Anti-Defamation League at the very least.
The optics of the Police looking for Jews is chilling and yet the Democrats call Trump a NAZI. Where are the Democrats on this?

They weren’t looking for Jews they were looking for the people who engaged in violence against the other protesters. Or is spraying bear spray into people’s face somehow acceptable to you? Sheesh.

Me too. We’ve devolved in what the movie predicted would be 500 years in the span of 25 years.

Police and the establishment press go wild.

It’s just the optics look bad the way they are describing it.
