Yeah, conservatives originally demanded that Biden send the national guard to break the protests. They were obviously hoping for another Kent State scenario, which they could then leverage against him. When he refused, Texas sent the state police instead.

It sure as hell isn’t an elementary school in Texas

Yeah, not enough guns and dead children in this photo for it to be an elementary school.

Also, it looks like Texas cops aren’t scared to go inside.

Students in America are protesting the genocide in Israel and American military aid for Israel. The response of their schools and local authorities has been to arrest them.

You know the last time a bunch of poorly trained idiots were handed guns and told to stand around while students protest, they ended up shooting the students.

Actually the military and National Guard completely reformed the way they handle protests because of Kent State. It’s the police who are the problem in protests now. Even to the point of dressing as close to the national guard as they can so people blame the wrong organization.

Kent State and several other similar incidents. But yeah, that’s kind of my point
