this cheech guy... is a moron. The whole reason for the UC cops to be called was because of the students "camping" at the protest. Yes it is a public college campus, but there are rules. Just like how you can't go sleep on a park bench or in most places go pass out on a public beach at night. The police were leaving the other protestors alone, only were there to force the students to take down their tents. Upon refusing a LAWFUL order, those tents were taken down and anyone who INTERFERED WITH A LAWFUL ORDER were arrested appropriately. Once the students moved on the police and then encapsulated them with a SHOW OF FORCE "a mob of people surrounding a group is automatically considered threatening". Upon being asked politely by a very well mannered officer many times to move themselves, the mob became even more threatening with their chants admitting to holding police officers captive. To be honest, this was the absolute BEST outcome that could've possibly happened. These students are lucky that they were not physically beaten into submission by the officers, which is COMPLETELY legal in such a situation, btw. The officers remained calm and waited for reinforcements. Every single one of those students could have, and SHOULD have been arrested and charged. I'm not just talking about the ones sitting on the sidewalk, but all students surrounding the officers and presenting a threatening stance. This video brings to light some serious issues that are happening nowadays. Would've been even better if the cops had their gas masks and they just let loose with tear gas, then arrest everyone
