In all my years of organizing, I've never experienced anything like what happened at UCLA last night.

A 3-hour sustained attack by dozens of right-wingers armed with clubs, bear spray, and large explosives. I saw broken bones.

Please support these students. Official fundraiser: bit.ly/ucla-sjp

Clubs were bad enough; but then you see metal pipes too. They were extremely violent attackers. That is very bad.

The right-wing attackers were allowed to continue their rampage for 3 hours without police stopping them. Attackers threw large explosives into the camp, injuring several people and one dog. The right-wingers also attacked multiple journalists including student reporters from UCLA's Daily Bruin.

When will we see an investigation and arrest of not only the right wing thugs who attacked peaceful students, but the cops who encouraged or at the very least allowed this to happen.

Can’t help but think of Sabra and Shatilla (for the record I’m the scale and harms are not even comparable - just the context of powerful forces allowing allied opposition free reign to engage in mayhem)

Heard security hired to maintain the peace did nothing at all. I can understand private security being useless but LAPD standing by while crimes are literally being committed in front of their noses is all you need to hear about the commitment of police to protect the people rather than the state.

Pretty fucking staggering that when violent agents from off-campus showed up to make trouble, exactly the circumstances other universities have confabulated to justify police brutality, the police did nothing.

Hi Chad. Is there any way the students associations can take LAPD to court? Their non-action was CRIMINAL. Police purpose is supposed to protect and intervene in these cases. The agents who were there deserve a severe punishment, and shouldn't work as policemen ever again.
