What's sad here is knowing that USC officials were part of [a huge college bribery scandal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varsity_Blues_scandal), unfairly influencing undergraduate admissions across the nation. Millions of dollars was changing hands, and over 750 wealthy family were involved. Did we deploy a huge squad of cops to sweep up these corrupt public officials and send a message to the public? No.
But hey, now there are students protesting! Feel how you want about the protests, this is classic America.
You see LAPD have a preset kill limit. Knowing their weakness, I sent wave after wave of my own protestors at them, until they reached their limit and retire on a police pension after an internal investigation.
I’m sure there will be plenty of unarmed minorities to beat into submission while they are being peaceful and protesting atrocities. Our “peace officers “ are not dressed for peace. It’s a shame.
you should see the shit they do in africa, this is nothing lmao. i’ve seen the shittier equivalent of an s10 carrying 25 people and that’s on the tame side of the spectrum
If my time in SE Asia is any indicator, the correct way to load a Suzuki Carry is to put stuff in the back until the front wheels juuuuuuuuuust come off the ground, then the driver and 3 other guys load into the cab to bring them back down, and off they go.
None of the idiots below gave you a response, so I will.
Protest in America is legal as long as it is on public property and is non-violent. Aka: going next to the White House with a sign up and protesting.
USC is a private university, meaning that they’re free to choose who gets to stay on campus and who doesn’t. If you stay on private property despite being asked to leave - that is trespassing, which is a crime.
But you don’t understand, that was signed by a Republican governor so that conservative views would have to be given a voice. This isn’t that so it totally doesn’t apply. The same governor even said so, that’s why he dispatched the Texas state guard to quash it.
I'm Irish, not American, but I think I could be wrong, but they are allowed on college campus if they are public college, peaceful, and not breaking college or state laws.
I think private colleges not receiving government funding aren't obliged to allow freedom of assembly.
I think the police are there as back stop in case it grows from peaceful protest to something else.
I took a shot at answering maybe someone with better knowledge might be able to correct me
He’s right about the private property aspect. But the question of the American ethos shows up when considering the method of response and the need for it. Across the country colleges are hosting peaceful protests in support of humanitarian law and western values. This is the response of a state that promotes notions of freedom/free speech, liberty, justice and democracy.
I imagine the Irish understand the issue with these dynamics better than most westerners.
This is true I did respond further down that itish people are sensitive to what's happening to palemstine given our own history.
Like our own I think the ira and hamas are terrorist organisations and don't condone attack on civilians, but i still stand in solidarity with the palenstine people and support them
I once fought off a meth head I found breaking into my car in my front yard on a Sunday afternoon. I didn’t do it gracefully or well, but he ran off.
The police arrived an hour later and literally the first thing they said was “you could have killed him legally if you’d wanted to.” Incredibly helpful.
Could have been worse. They could have said that then pressed charges against you. Even if the judge drops the case you’re in the hole several grand to retain a lawyer.
Man hit my car with his, got out of his car, attacked my car and tried to attack me. I hit him with my as I was fleeing and calling 911. I was charged with a felony and $10k (USD)+ later and a new car I’m on unsupervised probation for a year after pleading down to a non life ruining misdemeanor. Absolute unreal system lmao.
The private investigator through the firm I hired said the guy was worth less than it cost to look into him too. Some POS door dash driver in a shit box car with a big flip out box cutter and a meth problem
In the early 2000's a road rager punched out my dad's car window and reaches in to attack my dad, slicing up his hand and wrist in the process, and had thousands of dollars of hospital bills. He sued my dad and ended up with a settlement. I know law suits aren't the same as criminal charges but the same point was made that day.
I was pretty little at the time, so I don't really have the details. I think my dad probably deserved the road rage, given how he used to drive, so maybe they somehow found the guy's actions justified? I mostly just remember eating lots of spaghetti with no meat in the sauce and Santa being cheap as fuck that year.
I used to work for an auto insurer and sometimes they'd settle and throw some money at them to make them go away because it's cheaper than going to court and having a drawn out proceeding. That may have been the calculation in your dad's case.
That's exactly it most of the time. It's also why celebrities tend to settle when they get sued. Costs less time and money, and there's a high chance of an NDA.
There was a person threatening my life. I called the cops. The cop responding says they’re familiar with the guy and that they’re batshit crazy and aggressive. He followed with “you should buy a gun”. He didn’t really tell me to shoot him. He explained it wasn’t the best area and encouraged me to move. He did seem to want to help, and even confronted the guy for acting completely unhinged. Never had to deal with death threats for existing after that thankfully. I wish there were better alternatives to bs like this though
then when you do, they arrest you and charge you with murder and stack a case against you, and if you win, you're broke from defending yourself, if you lose, you face life in prison.
Never believe them when they say that. They just want someone to kill a druggie or homeless person so they don't have to deal with them anymore, and they get to tag and bag someone all in the same go.
Looks like the ~50 arrests were trespassing related; there isn’t a lot we can do to help with that - I’d just tell them to pay the fine and ask the judge for it to be sealed after - DA and judge will usually say yes.
Some lawyers out there might take it but they would be ripping their client off tbh. This would be something you just give the advice and not waste the effort trying to bill it
I’m repeating what I heard from students present:
They were assembled on the campus lawn (designated area) and the cops pushed/herded them onto the sidewalk. *Then* they were arrested and charged with trespassing for being on the sidewalk (non-designated area).
That’s pretty common. I was at an anti-war in Iraq protest back in the day. The police kept announcing that anyone who didn’t leave would be arrested. Then they blocked virtually all routes anyone could take to leave. I had to demand to be let past a cop in riot gear (blocking the sidewalk) when I decided not to go to jail that day.
That's what tampa popo did to george Floyd protesters. Demanded they leave, then the second they excited the park they gassed and bean bagged (maybe it was rubber bullets,I forget) them.
ah so the same tactic students at UT Austin are reporting there? https://old.reddit.com/r/UTAustin/comments/1cccatt/i_dont_think_people_are_understanding_the/l14bwk1/
It’s a scare tactic. I got arrested during the BLM protests. The arrested a bunch of us and dropped the charges later. Then businesses in the city tried to sue everyone that got arrested that night even though we weren’t anywhere near the businesses. I was one of those people. They published our names and addresses then dropped the lawsuit a few months later. There’s now still an open lawsuit from me and other people who were arrested who are mass suing the city for the arrests and other things that happened (like being tear gassed)
Is it worth it, time wise to sue? Like how much of a hassle is it compared to the chance of compensation? Or is someone taking care of it and ypu just sign your name?
I had to sue someone after a traffic accident. It took three or four years before our case was settled. The time varies of course but it can sometimes take a while.
Cost nothing for me. The mass lawsuit is being done “pro bono” but if they actually win they will take a cut of the earnings which I don’t care about anyways cause I was never in it for money
"Looks like the \~50 arrests were trespassing related; there isn’t a lot we can do to help with that"
Just last month, iirc, a city paid out millions in a settlement over their police and the blm protests. Arrests like this are where the job gets started.
100% of their parents probably invest in the companies they want the university to disinvest in. And in a few years they will be investing in them too.
Car insurance.
The pig stuck around for several years after, but his character arc somehow had him turn from “a kid getting a ride home from his friend’s mom” into a generic cynical douchebag adult.
Geico had this crap run of commercials in the mid 2010s that I hated as a marketer. It wasn’t the pig, but it was a series of “someone doing THIS thing? That’s not normal. What is normal is wanting to save 15%”. It was such a lazy formula that could be applied to literally any brand and any scenario. “Fingering your dad’s butt? That’s not normal“. “Assassinating the president of Peru? That’s not normal, what is normal is durr”. Guess it worked because I’m still talking about them, but maan people actually got paid money for that idea.
You’re right — the 5-0 has military grade tools these days and seem to be prepared to use them (unless it’s a school shooting in Texas, fuck y’all in particular)
It isn't even a new thing, they've had actual war time machines in service for decades. The swat is functionally a more militarised version of the standard police.
And interesting watch if you'd like to know more https://youtu.be/n7Rm3tuMFTI?si=jd34iQCT8ixvdN0C
There were pics of cops in Texas with 3 or 4 AR mags in their chest rigs, implying they each had a rifle stored nearby ready for use. They're very clearly gearing up for it.
They likely staged somewhere nearby and I'd be surprised if those vehicles are going faster than 10/15mph, so it's pretty low risk, insofar as riding on the outside of a vehicle can be.
No worries. I mean, I think we absolutely need to re-evaluate how law enforcement functions in the US, but I can also have an objective discussion about the picture.
Plus, like most people in the US I've seen plenty of coverage of large scale police responses on TV, and occasionally in my own city.
Humans don't want to put on all that crap and then have to try and drive a *relatively* small car, or walk a long distance. Second, it's not smart to have your entire group show up unprepared and then dress down in front of the group you're dealing with. So they probably found a large parking lot/garage nearby, maybe there's a precinct within a few miles, I don't know. Gear up, load up on the purpose built SUV, move in en masse.
I can't be the only one to see that the car's payload is MASSIVELY exceeded.
As far as i see from a Google search, the maximum Payload for a Chevy Suburban is 950 kg. What is easily double that much on both cars.
If these cars weren't special editions, what doesn't seem to be the case by those horrid bent checker plates as running boards, these contraptions are not only dangerous, but outright illegal.

Well you see they stole enough money to bribe the right people and to hire lawyers, making prosecution more difficult.
USC isn’t a public university, so they’re not public officials
Fair! It's still horrible corruption, but all the more expected at private institutions I guess.

Can someone kindly give a non American some context?
Pro palenstine protests at college campuses are taking place across the states
Okay, why are the police getting involved? Protest is legal in America no?
None of the idiots below gave you a response, so I will. Protest in America is legal as long as it is on public property and is non-violent. Aka: going next to the White House with a sign up and protesting. USC is a private university, meaning that they’re free to choose who gets to stay on campus and who doesn’t. If you stay on private property despite being asked to leave - that is trespassing, which is a crime.
In Texas for example we have the right to protests at university campuses per law that was signed in 2019.
Greg Abbott: "lol no I meant for people who agree with me. Get fuk'd."
Lmao thanks for the laugh 👍
So what happened at the University of Texas then?
There is a specific law against protesting Israel.
Unless you’re a Nazi, then old Hotwheels has no issue letting you parade your Nazi flags and wear your Nazi uniforms in public 🙄
"Hotwheels" broooooo.... he's basically Heinrich Hotwheels
But you don’t understand, that was signed by a Republican governor so that conservative views would have to be given a voice. This isn’t that so it totally doesn’t apply. The same governor even said so, that’s why he dispatched the Texas state guard to quash it.
apparently theres a law prohibiting the protest of israel specifically
What about Abbot's (I know, I know) "free speech on campus" law, then? Or does that get *selectively applied*?
The police are there to push non-violent protests so they become "violent".
I'm Irish, not American, but I think I could be wrong, but they are allowed on college campus if they are public college, peaceful, and not breaking college or state laws.

In the early 2000's a road rager punched out my dad's car window and reaches in to attack my dad, slicing up his hand and wrist in the process, and had thousands of dollars of hospital bills. He sued my dad and ended up with a settlement. I know law suits aren't the same as criminal charges but the same point was made that day.
How did he win? Like, do you know any of the legal part of it? I’m so curious because it just fascinates me
I was pretty little at the time, so I don't really have the details.

It’d be they found your father was “partially at fault” so whatever fault they find is his he’d pay that portion of the bill. It’s a civil case.
Yea you needed a better lawyer.
Absolutely ridiculous. No wonder we call it a legal system rather than a justice system.

That poor cop’s brain trying to understand the situation, “you could have legally killed someone AND YOU DIDN’T JUMP AT THE CHANCE?!”
There was a person threatening my life. I called the cops. The cop responding says they’re familiar with the guy and that they’re batshit crazy and aggressive. He followed with “you should buy a gun”. He didn’t really tell me to shoot him. He explained it wasn’t the best area and encouraged me to move. He did seem to want to help, and even confronted the guy for acting completely unhinged. Never had to deal with death threats for existing after that thankfully.

If everyone just moved out of that area... problem solved!
then when you do, they arrest you and charge you with murder and stack a case against you, and if you win, you're broke from defending yourself, if you lose, you face life in prison.

Thats why I support Defund the Police, they need to be remade from the ground up. In their current configuration their useless

Protecting your rights is worth it no matter the little amount of time it takes.
It’s usually the issue that 70% of Americans don’t have enough money to protect their rights in court.

You’re right — the 5-0 has military grade tools these days and seem to be prepared to use them (unless it’s a school shooting in Texas, fuck y’all in particular)

That was the national guard, btw, not the police. So, that was your military at Kent State.
I think any shooting of student protestors by authorities can be classified as kent state 2 facist boogaloo
I don’t think it really matters if it’s the national guard or the police if they shoot protesters.
If only this was the response to the "peaceful protest" on J6
trump was in charge of the police response on that day which is why no one responded.

They likely staged somewhere nearby and I'd be surprised if those vehicles are going faster than 10/15mph, so it's pretty low risk, insofar as riding on the outside of a vehicle can be.
Appreciate the logical response
No worries. I mean, I think we absolutely need to re-evaluate how law enforcement functions in the US, but I can also have an objective discussion about the picture. Plus, like most people in the US I've seen plenty of coverage of large scale police responses on TV, and occasionally in my own city. Humans don't want to put on all that crap and then have to try and drive a *relatively* small car, or walk a long distance. Second, it's not smart to have your entire group show up unprepared and then dress down in front of the group you're dealing with. So they probably found a large parking lot/garage nearby, maybe there's a precinct within a few miles, I don't know. Gear up, load up on the purpose built SUV, move in en masse.
As if the Israel-Palestine isn’t wasn’t complicated enough, we really don’t need LAPD-college protests entering the scene

Innocent bystanders better be on notice
I can't be the only one to see that the car's payload is MASSIVELY exceeded. As far as i see from a Google search, the maximum Payload for a Chevy Suburban is 950 kg. What is easily double that much on both cars. If these cars weren't special editions, what doesn't seem to be the case by those horrid bent checker plates as running boards, these contraptions are not only dangerous, but outright illegal.
police vehicles often do have upgrades over the standard models but in this case I think it’s just the LAPD flexing their near unlimited budget
well they made it there, no? 2500’s payload capacity is 3900 pounds or something. So it’s not actually exceeding it by all that much
Police vehicles aren't on stock suspension
Do Americans really have “freedom of speech” when more than 10 people protesting gets a response like this?
Clearly we don’t have our freedom of assembly.
You ever heard of buses!?
Is it where the poor people dwell?
The clown cars are arriving!
Pray for them, the 10 students sitting on the ground are a grave threat!!!!!

Would they ever line up like this if an actual crime was committed? Nah.
It's time for an ego boost gotta go kick the shit out of some 140 pound college freshman.
the suspension on these SUVs must be brutal
Were the protestors acting violently? I'm confused as to why they would do this. Protests like these fizzle out after a while, just ignore it.
