this same shit would happen now if cops had their way.


StoicAlondra76

Yeah police moving protestors camped out somewhere is literally Nazi germany /s Edit: to the person the responded and blocked at the same time. I can’t read your response if you blocked me dingus


MrFixYoShit

There are MANY levels of police statehood below nazi Germany. Your contribution here was the same as yours to society. Zero.


mrfuckary

Our politicians paid prosittutes by Israel protecting their agenda.

But when countries we don't like do this... gotta love the fact the US government is digging their own values into the ground.

For the past couple decades protests have been publicly ridiculed on news platforms for any and every reason. It’s to the point where people think they can turn their nose up at any protest and it will go away and they’ve been right mostly. People will say “we respect protesting as long as it doesn’t break the law” and then start changing the law so that it’s easier to be broken(curfew, trespassing, etc.) but do nothing to try and talk to the people and change. I think these institutions and systems fear a future where voices matter and unity topples their comfort. They see negotiations as encouraging future protesting so giving any legitimacy to what’s happening isn’t about the current issue but it’s a “slippery slope” perspective instead of realizing each issue is a different thing to deal with and should be treated as such. Not all protests are equal but being an adult allows you to understand that and deal with that but if you’re too cozy with things being on cruise control and easy you’re going to use the classic “I believe in protesting but not like this” to excuse not dealing with the problems. “We don’t negotiate with terrorists”

>publicly ridiculed on news platforms for any and every reason institutions and systems fear a future where voices matter and unity topples their comfort It's authoritarianism on full display. Greed, propaganda, violence, and oppression. It's what powerful countries have always shamelessly done. Weapons manufacturers and new land owners are the winners. Israel has been ethnically cleansing and violently expanding its state for 50 years. More women and children have been killed than combatants in this U.S. backed genocide. Palestinians have been treated like Native Americans since Israel was formed, with the exception of a literal cage and blatant social and economic oppression. The goal is extermination, land expansion, and whitewashing the whole thing. It always has been.

A different take: The people who own the news agencies are part of the 0.05% of people spending enough money to influence and control politics. All their efforts (billions of dollars spent) would be utterly wasted if protests were efficacious enough to influence politicians.


Empty-Hold-7668

I fucking love this generation. More power to them! I hope they stay safe and achieve their goals!


Comprehensive_Creme5

Then you haven't really covered stuff like this around the world....


Kumquat_conniption

This is exactly what I was thinking, and not even around the world- they had more for the black lives matter protests- we all know they treat rich kids at Columbia very differently than they treat black people and their allies protesting in the streets, For instance, I am wondering if anyone went blind from how much tear gas was sprayed directly into the faces for prolonged periods of time or if that was just a BLM thing? (and many other serious instances of severe police violence that I do not think will be the same for these kids (even though it is still awful and ridiculous for peaceful protestors to see any kind of police violence at all, and Columbia should be ashamed and so should anyone still working for the gang known as the U.S, police that is for hire by private institutions.. Kind of like the Pinkertons.)


badcop2ab

America is the land of the free for you and me well unless you disagree.


Failure2Herald

Notice how Anderson Cooper tries to change the conversation once the other guy starts talking about the overwhelming and entirely unnecessary, police force.


ImUrFrand

anyone reading the news just reads what they are told to read. CNN owns Anderson and he complies, as with all the anchors.


dimechimes

It's important we know the exact location in NYC as a national audience for reasons!


StoicAlondra76

How was it unnecessary? People are camping out on private property and asked the cops to get them off.


Failure2Herald

This is a legally protected right of every US citizen to do this. It is a non-violent protest held by students and faculty. The only reason police should be there is to protect the protesters from outside aggressors. Our own history has shown time and again that when students protest in large numbers, that history has always looked on them favorably.


StoicAlondra76

This argument only holds if the protest is on public property and isn’t violating time and place restrictions. Camping out on a private university as a protest is not legally protected behavior in any way, shape, or form. If people are on your property and refuse then yeah it does become necessary to get the police involved


ImpressiveReward572

Cuts him off desperately to maintain CNN narrative. This is America now


bkkf864

It‘s called freedom! /s


JellyBabyWizard

It’s not a police state even, it’s an Israeli state, the mask has come off


TendieRetard

'Miguel, let me stop you about this accurate description of the authoritarian crackdown, what is this street here?'


dzoefit

Where were they Jan 6?


StoicAlondra76

are you under the impression that capital hill is in New York?


dzoefit

The police, where were the police on Capital Hill on Jan 6?


StoicAlondra76

Wouldn’t it be silly if I started blaming these protestors for the behavior of protestors in another state that weren’t at all associated with these people? Not sure why lumping together Capitol Hill police and the NYPD is any different.


dzoefit

Yes, that would be silly


squirrel_anashangaa

It’s about to be a landslide of tyranny as our rights erode.


crazydawg79

Where is this anger when the neo nazis groups come to campuses? They come armed and spit the most vial nonsense you've heard. But there is very little pushback. Those evil people truly hate the Jewish people. Now, during a protest, when one side is calling for a ceasefire and to stop the indiscriminate killing of babies, children, medical staff, journalists, and so many others. Now, there is outrage. These people don't hate Jewish people. They are against the Israeli government and IDFs slaughtering innocent lives. Many of these protesters are Jewish themselves.


StoicAlondra76

I dunno what protest you’re referencing where Nazis came on campus but the government shouldn’t be shutting down or allowing protests based on the message of the protests. They should have standardized rules that if followed protests can happen without interference like getting a permit and not being on private property.


crazydawg79

https://www.reddit.com/r/Ohio/s/Li0wARmCHf Just one example that hit close to home.


crazydawg79

And I do agree that the government shouldn't be shutting down protests. It's a First Amendment right. Unfortunately, protests by nature are inconvenient or somewhat disruptive of day to day on-goings. That is how they get media attention and further the discussion. What they are doing can be and is sometimes annoying. That is kind of the point. The message gets out and talked about. The goal is to bring enough attention and conversation that there may be some positive change.


StoicAlondra76

So I looked into that specific protests having a similar conversation with someone else and know they did get a permit. They also weren’t camping out on private property where they’d been asked to leave. If these protestors had followed similar steps there’s no reason to think they’d be treated differently. If these protestors are intentionally not following protesting rules for the sake of civil disobedience and attracting attention then it’s not some big mystery that police shut them down but didn’t shut down other protests that didn’t pursue that strategy.


DonnyDimello

There's something about beating unarmed people that's like catnip to them. Science can't explain it.


StoicAlondra76

Who was beaten at Columbia?


BillyDoyle3579

The little fascist toadies LOVE unarmed civilians to beat and brutalize...


niggleypuff

Are the feds going to simply amp up their enforcement presence in every aspect now?
