I guess america never learns from its past. Were like a goldfish every 50 to 100 years we have our memory wiped clean and we must go through the same shit

I'm just an ordinary American watching the United States go insane right before my eyes.

Two things are troubling. First, children can get injured. Second, a lot of these kids might be charged with crimes that will affect their lives going forward severely. Also the use of flashlights, fire extinguishers etc. sounds more like they had organized help from "outside agitators". Which I can see happening. Will they care what happens to the thousands of students facing repercussions afterwards? I doubt it! Plus as a parent can you imagine spending so much money to have this whole mess happen!?! I do not believe half of them know what they are even standing for if anything. Does the U.S. care? or will they in a few months? Plus, What will the schools do? Windows broken, trespassing, Assaults, etc. Schools have strict rules they can enforce. It will effect students unevenly.

They want you divided and it is working

If walls dont work why did the kids build them to keep police out.

The violence is not helping any one. Not helping anyone.

These students are cringe. They don't even know where Palestine is. They didn't care about Yemen and Syria.

These students were recruited (duped) by professional activists.

Good 👍 now reveal who these people are

Who is funding all those supplies ? Tell us CNN !!

I’m so proud of our police men and women God please protect them and thank you for their service!

They should be protesting about the state of their own country.

The protestors should be assessed a fine for ongoing expenses of maintaining a large enough police force on hand to deal with such nuisences.

DID SHE JUST FORGET TO SAY THE PRO ISRAEL'S STARTED TO FIGHT YESTERDAY. SHE KEEPS SAYING PRO PALESTINS.

About damn time.

They should charge the.protesters families more for damages.

Why did you let them occupy the campus first ? It’s looks like under the bridge encampments not university ?

Whatever is going in Israel and Palestinian is not an American problem. I urge anyone who feels that it is to go to the Middle East and hash out their grievances in the actual conflict zone. See if they still have that same energy. Don't be cowards and protest in the safety of a country 10 thousand miles away.

Aren't those kids going to clean up their own mess?! The LAPD has more important matters to attend to.

god damn hippies...

"Students and even professors who have been expelled or threatened with expulsion can continue their studies at Shiraz University"

Great work LAPD! these campus protesters need to pay for the damages.

I'm skeptical on the organic anger and affiliation - I saw hordes of these kids draped in Palestinian flag, wolfing down pulled pork sandwiches - at the foody truck

Can’t feel bad for those people.

Wow, these protesters are acting just like real Palestinians.

This is an attack on our country not a peaceful protest

Why the chiron about rubber bullets? You aren't reporting any use of them. Clickbait?

Stand with Police and USA. 🎉

Time to end the encampment

As punishment for the students being disruptive in their lawful demonstrations, those protestors should be made to clean up the encampment

They went from kids to adults as soon as they broke the law.

Anti-occupiers, occupied someone else’s property & left behind a disaster & horrific vandalism on the historic hall. I’m so moved by their cause.

United we stand divided we fall

Release the hounds! “In my best Mr. Burns impression “.

It's hard to take these students seriously, when they themselves are confused as to why they are there.....

These Pro-Palestinian things are an embarrassment to their own kind.

Lots of pro terrorist, pro Hamas, pro extremists bots on this site.

UNITED STATES OF AIPAC NOW!...FALL IN LINE!

I stand with Israel 🇮🇱

For the students studying for finals..stay focused and stay strong. You all got this.

Clearly they should have been boycotting instead of protesting. If you don’t like what your school is doing with its money, stop giving them money.

UCLA has been Liberated from the Nazi Jihadist Terrorists , well done LAPD

Police removed barricades and began dismantling pro-Palestinian demonstrators’ fortified encampment early Thursday at the University of California, Los Angeles, after hundreds of protesters defied orders to leave, some of them forming human chains as police fired flash-bangs to break up the crowds. Some people were detained, their hands bound with zip ties. The action came after officers spent hours threatening arrests over loudspeakers if people did not disperse. A crowd of more than 1,000 had gathered on campus, both inside a barricaded tent encampment and outside it, in support. Protesters and police shoved and scuffled as officers encountered resistance. Video showed police pulling off helmets and goggles worn by some protesters as they were being detained.

No better than Jan.6th rioters.

Kids protesting violence met w violence by administration, state, and police. Go figure. We never learn.

About time the police got involved. Arrest and expel these lawless people.

Honestly, I've been quoting Voltaire and defending these guys' and every other Palestinian supporter's freedom of speech rights but this is taking it too far. Holding a university hostage and preventing entry to Jewish students is not freedom of speech. It is far nore than that. It is somewhere between unlawful occupation, tresspassing and hostage taking (legally, seeing how there were people stuck inside who were not allowed to leave). Enough. There is freedom of speech and then there is overbearing bullying. There are ways to have one's voice heard that does not involve shoving it down everybody's throat.

Hearing the shots ring out must have been terrifying! Flash bangs? Rubber bullets?? Kettling? For GOD'S SAKE!! Where were they last night when this encampment was being attacked by actual violent actors?

TROJAN HORSE ACTIVATED

The university is at fault. This is private property.

The History will remember you (students)😢

I stand with Americans, fuck the rest, fuck funding both sides of this war, fund Americans first

Democracy in America got lost. Its flew to Israel and did not return, getting stuck in Ukraine. We are looking and looking with the whole world, where is democracy in america????

Why are Biden and Haris silent?

They scattered like rats, so much for the "standing their ground or else" motto!😂 Now these same "students" aren't going to complain about tuition costs and ask for student loan forgiveness are they???

"This college deserves to have it's mowed lawn back. We will spend a million dollars of taxpayer money to clear the lawn."

As a non American, I can only laugh at what is going on there. The American people only have themselves to blame. You get what you vote for. Sad days ahead for the average Joe who is struggling to support his family, when they see who and what the future of America is.

Are these the people that JoeB just relieved of debt?

Imagine having an arrest record for what you know nothing about. You would expect to find smart students at UCLA.

Power to the students for standing up for those that are helpless ❤ and for standing against the media that clearly works for the United States of Israel.

Who funded all of this?

Think about how ironic it is for America to slide further into fascism over limitless support for Israel.

Do we really think there is not a single pro-hamas in that ? Are we supposed to be stupid or something?

they scrambled real quick. lol

Cmon reporters- tell us who is paying for that, as rioters look like they are very well equipped

Dont they have Finals to study for? Im confused i thought college was supposed to be hard

I'm sure Palestinian people could care less about a liberal college protest

This reporter 🙄 Do you have any sense of FAFO?

This is like 1930s Germany all over again.

Who funded all the white helmets ?

'Okay, I'm going to report on the riots at UCLA. But what should I wear ? Needs to be tough and ready for any potential action. I know, a pink cashmere overcoat !'.

Gullible kids provocated by agitators.

All of them need to spend time in prison.

Their parents will not be happy about their bad decisions

"It’s an open air prison!", ignores an entire border with Egypt.

👍🇮🇱🇺🇸

CNN a once reputable news agency has gone by the wayside. So sad!

that is going to be alot of fines. maybe to pay for officer pay i guess

NATIONAL GUARD IS NEEDED

They let this get way too far...DeSantis handled these knuckleheads efficiently, yeah

Blood was shed and nobody went to jail

These kids have a bright future at that piggly wiggly

Ca democrats sell 1/2 of UC enrollment spots to foreign nationals over Ca/National taxpayers.. What could possibly go wrong?

Free Americans from AIPAC

They're not afraid to show their kind of behavior who they are..

Are all of the protestors students of UCLA? Isn't this the last month of the semester? Aren't they studying for finals?

Protest supporting the group that attacked unarmed women and children murdered held hostage. F m

People have a right to protest for equality and fair share, but what it does not call for are threats and antisemitic slurs. Because now you as a group, if anything, are proving yourselves as a radical threat regardless if you pay for tuition. It's a school for higher learning, not a public park.

THATS IT??! Where are the water hoses, alligators, helicopters, handcuffs, dogs, rubber bulllets, batons, whips, national guards, casualites like they did for breonna taylor? im lost

The police just had a job to do.

Time to learn that actions have consequences. They want to play life in hard mode. Because that's it with a criminal record entry.

We stand with Israel! Blame Hamas and other terrorist organizations and supporters.

Why are these handcuffed students not cleaning up after themselves?

Did she say “kettling” ?!?! Isn’t that illegal under international law? They tried that in Toronto and had to pay out millions in legal settlements here.

Clearing the campus so that students who want to go to classes to continue their education can get to them seems reasonable. If I were a student there I would certainly want the chaos stopped so it was safe to get to the classes I had paid to attend, and graduate on schedule.

Those Chicks protesting are worth like ten goats in Gaza.

Why are people being harassed, on both sides, for actions by a government or group in another country. People living in the US are not responsible for what is done (with or without their approval) in another country. Jews living in the US are not responsible whatever actions Netenyahu is doing back in Israel. Wait till there is another terrorist attack and would we blame students or families in the US for those actions ?

Wild animals

Oh the pro Israeli protesters “attacked” the pro Palestinians? Sure, Jan.
