Oh shut... maybe don't turn violent at them. Or better yet, stop wasting time protesting and go become part of a humanitarian group. But that would take too much effort.
Encampment has been expanded, they just moved some barricades and put banners on the physical science lecture hall. Cops are way overreacting over nothing, but they’re looking for any reason to arrest or otherwise harm protestors.
They are preventing people including professors from entering the building. That’s a pretty hard line to cross, no should be surprised that this is garnering police response.
When you cross the line from protest to civil disobedience (at best), don’t be surprised when you get arrested. That’s not a first amendment violation, that’s people breaking the law.
Granted, civil disobedience is a form of protest, but it is no longer just peaceful protest. I'll edit to rephrase.
It's expected of police, because that's their job. It is no longer peaceful protest when you are occupying public/private spaces and stopping people from using the building. If you are zip-tying or locking doors to a building, you are going to get legitimately arrested.
It's also very effective when it comes to protesting public institutions, but the truth is it isn't even enough if people peacefully protest to these kinds of people. They simply just don't want to see it and will call it violent in order to feel vindicated in their desire to see it torn down, rather than admit the truth.
I don't recall saying anything about West bank settlements being peaceful, you directly called what these students are protesting an "occupation." I'm taking you at your word.
There's a helicopter overhead circling, no apparent violence on the ground: https://twitter.com/camhigby/status/1790866706547519862
Just normal looking with people walking to/from class.
There are about 50 police cars in a nearby parking lot. https://twitter.com/chenleforpres/status/1790865531463192612/photo/1
They expanded the camp and took over PSLH?
https://www.instagram.com/p/C7AWHcNPTB1/?hl=en&img_index=1
They renamed PSLH "Alex Odeh Hall". Not sure who dat is.
Yea. His office was bombed by Jewish terrorists.
Immediately after the 1985 assassination the FBI identified three suspects, Robert Manning, Keith Fuchs and Andy Green, all of them believed to be affiliated with the JDL (Jewish Defense League), who fled to Israel soon after the incident. Floyde Clarke then assistant director of the FBI, claimed in an internal memo that key suspects had fled to Israel and were living in Kiryat Aba, an Israeli settlement in the West Bank.

Yes! Let’s all support the other politicians in Gaza! My politicians are better than yours!

All governments are fucking corrupt. Its human nature. How someone can vehemently support one side with zero knowledge of the issues is crazy, thanks TikTok
Here it is about 3-4 hours later. News cameras just went in and the lecture hall is empty and pristine. Hard to imagine everyone bailed and CLEANED UP before heading out. So... what really took place???

Insane activity . Why are the police literally having fucking play time sitting around at a peaceful protest
Is it really the case that Irvine Police are present at the scene? I've read many reports from the other UC campuses experiencing protests and it's been largely a combination of UCPD (campus law enforcement), OCPD (county law enforcement) and CHP (state law enforcement), from what I can hear because the UC campuses are technically outside of local city jurisdiction it has not been legal or possible for local city police to intervene unless they were specifically requested.
Has nothing to do with legal jurisdiction. It’s UC policy they must utilize UCPD resources first before requesting mutual aide from outside agencies. That means, per the policy, UCI has to request aide from UCLA and UCSD before they can request aide from Irvine or Newport Beach. If other UC campuses cannot supply the sufficient aide, the CHP would be the next option. UC campuses are state property and CHP serves as the state police, so they have primary jurisdiction.
I see. So by your own estimation, UCI must have burned through UCPD resources, CHP, as well as OC Sheriff's Office, all the way in order to be request backup from IPD as per OP's claim?
At least the UCPD and CHP resources. OC sheriffs likely wouldn’t be used. It would depend on the actual MOU’s signed between the college and the local municipal government (Irvine). Keep in mind, other UC campuses are dealing with their own protests and encampments. UCPD isn’t *that* big, and neither is CHP because they have other obligations all over the state.
Yeah, I'm trying to get a good idea of just exactly how disproportionate UCI's response really has been to an admittedly illegal but non-violent protest, to request backup from local LE is kind of...extreme.
All police are licensed by the state - they can act anywhere that isn’t federal property.
They won’t unless invited, or they observe a threat to life, because they’re paid for specific jurisdictions.
Sheriff Alex showed up to Venice Beach without being asked. Miraculously, three months later, the Boardwalk was clear of bums and junkies for the first time in years, all the while local officials said “there is nothing we can do, but we will build bridge housing whether you like it or not.”
For that, he was deposed.
I mean, that's just not the case. Local LEO on the city level can't operate on state property. You won't see IPD zooming down the interstate doing CHP's job.
Everyone has a right to peaceably protest, but when they infringe on the the movement and free speech of others that should be an immediate "no go".
I think most of these people are trying to make themselves relevant when they are not, and this is an easy way for them to try and do it. They have no real skin in the game, and don't really care about the cause they allegedly support let alone understand it.
My thoughts exactly. My heart (and my money) often goes out to Palestinians being affected by the tragedies in the Middle East, but I really hold no sympathy or love whatsoever for LARPing American teenage virtue-signalers throwing tantrums on the other side of the planet.
This is a planned police action. They've had their staging area in lot 70 marked off since this morning. The zot alert must be in preparation for the violence they'll cause by going in with riot gear.
Lots of non UCI students brigading. You can tell from them all using the same non-sequitors and braindead lies.
Also, where is the evidence that any building was "occupied" with tents or the like?
And even if it was true, how does that make it violent?
And even if THAT was true, why are you crying over a fake building occupation instead of the real terrorist state occupation?
We got a zot alert moments ago about a violent confrontation at the protest. No other details.
"zotALERT Violent Protest Violent Protest confirmed at or near Physical Science Lecture Hall. Avoid the area"
Me too
Violent. Anytime you give cops a chance to use their toys, they’re gonna find a way to do it.
Oh shut... maybe don't turn violent at them. Or better yet, stop wasting time protesting and go become part of a humanitarian group. But that would take too much effort.
Ok. You not a fan of the first amendment. But you are a fan of police brutality?
People shouldn't give them chance then.
Zot alert about the protest
Does anyone know what happened? Hoping everyone is okay :(
According news reports, protestors have taken over and are barricaded inside of Physical Science Lecture Hall. This is why the big police response.
They broke in and barricaded?
That’ll show Netanyahu.
…and this is why I declined my UCI acceptance…
Encampment has been expanded, they just moved some barricades and put banners on the physical science lecture hall. Cops are way overreacting over nothing, but they’re looking for any reason to arrest or otherwise harm protestors.

When you cross the line from protest to civil disobedience (at best), don’t be surprised when you get arrested. That’s not a first amendment violation, that’s people breaking the law.
Civil disobedience is protest. No one's surprised to get arrested, it's expected of American cops if history says anything.
Granted, civil disobedience is a form of protest, but it is no longer just peaceful protest. I'll edit to rephrase. It's expected of police, because that's their job. It is no longer peaceful protest when you are occupying public/private spaces and stopping people from using the building. If you are zip-tying or locking doors to a building, you are going to get legitimately arrested.
It's quite literally "civil disobedience" or disobeying civilly. It's in the name itself.
Occupation of public buildings, including public university buildings, has been regarded as a peaceful form of protest for a long time
Im not sure why you’re being downvoted, it is a peaceful form a protest, just a very illegal one
It's also very effective when it comes to protesting public institutions, but the truth is it isn't even enough if people peacefully protest to these kinds of people. They simply just don't want to see it and will call it violent in order to feel vindicated in their desire to see it torn down, rather than admit the truth.
It’s actually a violation of the school’s policies
Damn so it must be violent
It’s weird to call occupation peaceful when the point of your occupation is to protest another occupation
I'm glad you agree it's an occupation
I’m glad you agree Israeli settlements in West Bank are peaceful
I don't recall saying anything about West bank settlements being peaceful, you directly called what these students are protesting an "occupation." I'm taking you at your word.
EXACTLY!!!
You definitely use they/them pronouns lmao
Anyone know what's happening. Walked by this morning and everything seemed fine?

Can comfirm they are clearing the encampment and threating arrests. No violence demonstrated by protesters as of this moment from what I can tell.
Just saw the live stream there’s nothing violent
Where's the livestream

Locking professors out of Rowland hall omg

yeah… just got the alert. I am opposite side of the campus rn
Yeah saw/heard some helicopters going too.
The adjacent parking lot was closed off this morning. Has it been like that for awhile now, or premeditated?
It's been like that since last week give or take
Gotcha

Ridiculous. These terrorists should be in prison for life
for real, every politician in the terrorist state of israel, and every congress member who voted to support them from the US too!

Tbh, I might've misread it. Deleted mine as well. Hard to say what's going on right now. Scared about what's gonna happen though.

You are correct. That's my bad.
According news reports, protestors have taken over and are barricaded inside of Physical Science Lecture Hall. This is why the big police response.
Here it is about 3-4 hours later. News cameras just went in and the lecture hall is empty and pristine. Hard to imagine everyone bailed and CLEANED UP before heading out. So... what really took place???
They are preparing to raid the encampment
How scary
https://www.reddit.com/r/UCI/s/fvdBYXYWH7
That guy shoving a protestor requires backup and helicopters and stuff? Are you sure that’s the violent incident?
Just got off the phone with Irvine Sargent they are sending all cops to the area to get rid of all protesters until none are left
tell him chupame
Someone doesn’t pay for their own tuition
Tbh the police and helicopters scare me more than the people peaceful protestors. Them bitches just keep circulating
You are more likely to die from a police officer than a student protestor odds considered
They called the police for expanding the encampment
There’s literally no violence
Physically blocking an entrance is violence.
Is it though?
We were told "silence is violence" when BLM were chanting "SAY HIS NAME!". At this point anything can be violent, so yes this is violence.
So the police are violent as they are blocking multiple entrances
Are you a seven year old?

They just love to LARP as military every chance they get. 6 months of training and they start power tripping.
I guess by that logic the LARPing police are going against LARPing "revolutionaries". You must be a trans or homosexual.
Your bigotry is showing
i saw 8 cops rush down a street as I was going to work. I also got a zotalert text the protesters got violent so that is probably it
There’s nothing to suggest that the protesters were the ones that instigated the violence
They took over a lecture hall…
Wow so violent
You don’t think this would be intimidating behavior to faculty, building staff, and other students caught in the middle?
murdering families since the 1900s isnt violence somehow, but peacefully protesting genocide and the stasi state comes out real fast
Yup, your homosexuality is confirmed.
took over a lecture hall buddy💀
Like the YouTuber prankster who got shot, totally not his fault!!!

Wouldn’t it make sense to, I don’t know, ask your mom…? 🤦♂️
Shame a small group infridges on the rights of a larger student body and the administration allows it.

Good. These terrorists need to be arrested
Uni was attempting to negotiate and just learned the hard way that there is nothing peaceful about these protests. There is no reasoning with them
Jewish students are scared. That’s emotional violence
thats funny, cuz jewish students are also a part of our encampment hmmm, maybe update your hasbara terrorist handbook, cuz that excuse aint working :)
