Police Violently Raid UMich Gaza Solidarity Camp Before School President Testifies in Congress 

Different than the Jan 6th rioters handling. Double standards

Student exposed American government. They are not for Americans they are for power and politics at any cost.

While I was watching this, I was suddenly overcome with the feeling that I was reviewing the same video I had just watched about what was happening in the West Bank, and I had to check to see whether I was, or not. We’re all living in a dystopian U.S. surveillance state.

Great reporting on the decline of free expression and speech in USA . Most are not informed of the risk of suppression and brutality of those that peacefully demonstrate to the freedom of our Nation

When criticism of Israel upsets some people more than the genocide of 40,000 innocent civilians ~ Being lost for words is an understatement ~

Justice and truth will prevail

Standing up against the Genocide, Thanks for moral high ground

IDF tactics!!

United States of Zionism

Lawsuits against the Police and their Depts.

Thank You Democracy Now ! Thank you Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzalez! THIS IS VERY VERY SAD ! I never thought that I would watch such Violence in Gaza, in Sudan, in Ucrânia and in The Universities of USA.

Disgusting display of a police state

Sincerely heartbroken and angered by the tactics taken by these universities and police. The police cause the violence. My mom and dad are police officers and I was raised to respect law enforcement but I am so tired and disgusted by the violence the police all over the US seem so eager to inflict. I'm angry, extremely saddened, and ashamed of President Biden and the administration's complicity in this genocide. I'm so grateful to ALL the students and people who are fighting for humanity. I wish more understood that being against the slaughter of the Palestinian people is NOT antisemitic, it's pro-humanity! We are with you ❤

They have been practicing this for years! Riot gear provided by taxpayers $$$ Trained by Israeli military a few years ago..

Right because at 10 min and 1 second you were going to leave? Come on you brats. There are protest limits and you blew past them

Funny how everything is peaceful until the police show up.

We built thise university for students to learn .. not for protesting for foreign country guet over it you are not in palestine ...

I thought the Naz!s no longer existed until I realized that they are rebranding themselves as the NAtional Zlonism of Usrael.

War against students.

Police or IDF ??

Thanks democracy now.

STOP CENSORING MY GODDAMN COMMENTS!! “America one day needs to do like Chéran, Mexico did.🌎🕊️Ⓐ🏳️‍⚧️☭🏳️‍🌈”

Where they asked to leave beforehand? Was it illegal for them to be on that property? This is a joke, the criminals are the victims! Buhuuuuu! 😂

Ahhh the most woderfullest bestess country in the whole wide world

Thank you for your courage 😢🤲🏻🕋

When police respond to a peaceful protest with fear, anger in full riot gear that’s what they will get. Escalation of demonstrations most often is because of this kind of behavior.

Goodbye First Amendment

What on earth is going on here?

NO REASON for POLICE BRUTALITY they are AMERICANS who have RIGHTS OUR FIRST AMENDMENT "FREEDOM of SPEECH":so BACK OFF Thank you 🌹

Sue them all

Free the hostages

Condolences for all those having lost family. 😢

The silver lining about this response is it will radicalize a lot of people

Thanks team... and amy

vandalism is not peaceful

Defy lawful police commands= you might get pepper sprayed. You don't get to break the law without consequences. You are not a victim.

Wow!!! They had plenty of time to remove themselves before the police showed up.

And to think that some politicians think this is okay. What if this were happening to one of their kids?

Thank you for this

8 felony charges for what???

“Peaceful action had become a threat to public safety.” -There you have it: safe spaces endanger the public. Straight out of fascist handbooks. Hello, revolution, where have you been?

Keep going you brave intelligent students you're future . Make no mistake we are winning with your massive help. Never feel alone ❤

If you can’t do the time, don’t do the crime!

This was happening when I was protesting for a third party movement in college. The anti-democratic authoritarianism was commonly discussed. We were sickened and incensed at that time. A professor once said to my friend who ran the group, that he predicted by 2020 there was going to be a major crisis or crises. Those words stuck with me to today. Academicians and others in those circles have been aware of, and openly discussing, these disturbing, inflammatory fascist responses to free speech taking place, especially at G7 Summits around the one-world-order policy being implemented in illegally breaking up legal demonstrations. We need to bulwark against these threats right as they occur, and send the message that peaceful protests are strong and able to stop military police violations through solidarity and unrelenting, point-driven agenda without wavering. It’s classic fascist politics framed as democratically protecting US against these rogue, Antifa anarchists creating chaos and discomfort in the complacent and complicit.

In 1973 I caused the Dean of Students at Eastern Michigan University to have the PLO group dismantle their propaganda tables! E.M.U. is eight miles down the road From U of M! Whats Happening at E. M.U. now? I congratulate U. of M. for taking action!

Thanks Amy

💛🙏 Peace and strength, Salma and all the supporters in Michigan.

If I was her I'd be planning to sue the university.

Did Democracy Now do a segment on the videos released today? Didn’t think so, clearly abusing women is something that Amy approves of

This is the sin of not achieving campaign finance reform.

They beat her so much that the poor thing still has a bandage on her head 🤣😂

Cancel visa send them home!

Unconscionable!

Victory has a price and truth will always prevail!

Good mornin Amy we LUV you 💯👍🏽🥰😍

Great interview , thanks 🇵🇸

No protest,no free speech;North Korea

Outrageous 😮

The World turned to Upside Down - rain rise to the sky. When the evils being be praised and the good been destroyed

The university, after asking these people to leave, designated and identified them to the police as trespassers. Trespassing is against the law. When the police arrived and asked them to leave, some of them did not immediately follow police instructions. Subsequently, the police took them into custody.

😭

Not one American flag. Says it all. Deport.

They won’t report students hit police or throw objects at police😆

Someone needs to tell the police that these people are expecting to be arrested, that this is all theater. The message of the play is "Our government's support for Israel is wrong and perverse!" We need to tell the police.... ... that they are playing their part to perfection!

Bravo beautiful students for not staying silent!

Violence has never resolved a dispute,,, But what it will do is, make the dispute stronger & bring violence to violence!!!

Nice to hear Amy doing great reporting again 🎉😊

In America our land: Welcome Jews and Gazans!

You are on a college campus it does not mean you can set up a camp , harass people etc You can protest in the streets , on sidewalks and infront of government buildings SJP has been removed from several campuses becuase of its links and support of Hamas

Guess they were not actually protesting

In the meantime, encamptments are entrenched in Toronto and Montreal with no end in sight. It's not" politically correct " for Canada to do anything...

You do know that over half of American are against the protest, even on the campus it's a small number who are protesting

Constitutional rights, just not that one!

🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸✊✊🏽✊🏿🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸☝️

😢

Keep it up students It’s your future. It’s your rights

They were giving a lawful order and they did not follow it another example of Fuck around and find out. They also were not peaceful, they were threaten students who were trying to go to class.

What would of happened if the police didn't show up and the media went away? Brown shirts?

You’re not welcome here!

Fascist Police, Fascist US!!!!

Just terrible.

getting pepper sprayed isn't fun but it's life threating I have been gased as it's said

Who knew that Izrael had Gesta po-po in different countries?

exceelent interview

The fight is over in Palestine / Israel not here.

Take the police to court

Sue the police on courts, criminal civil and federal courts!

Whats is the purpose of being in American when everyone is fighting for other countries and shame their own?

Are tents necessary, vs blankets, jackets, & umbrellas to protect from weather 24/7 (like "sit ins" recalled from anti-war protests, Etc.)? The use of tents causes cross- over violations of communities' efforts to fight homeless camps (which I disagree with, yet which has spawned many new laws during the "war" on the homeless).

Lol--this is ridiculous. Why aren’t the cops who committed the violent assaults ch???

The authorities have always acted violently against peaceful civil disobedience. If anyone is doing nonviolent civil disobedience and it doesn't cause a violent crackdown, injuries, arrests, you can bet that your protest poses no danger to the status quo, to the the authorities... and so, what's the point? You're on the side of good. Bear your crosses. It moves things in the right direction, though it won't be immediately obvious. I wish I had your courage.

Shame on Santa Ono.

It is Saint Anne. What happened eith the Treaty of 1817. Michigan is a Space and Sea grant School. The Great Lakes have concerns.

So when does the next Kent state happen?

So when is the next Kent State?

Hello Miss Dearborn

Well being that they have zero right to set up an encampment in University property, they have no right to complain. The police did exactly what they should have. Only problem is that they waited this long.

Wow, "democracy" covering their own arses because they have to meet and chat with their owners.
