Comment on Nearly all Gaza campus protests in the US have been peaceful, study finds

Nearly half of the campus protests that Acled categorized as violent involved protesters fighting with law enforcement during police interventions, according to the group’s data.
So 98.5% were peaceful, although some protesters had to defend themselves against police aggression.
1.5% non-compliance, that’s a paddlin.
Based on what I’ve seen I doubt most American police know what a percent is.
Path to police seems to be, be dumb in everything, bully some people, show willingness to abuse without thought. Here ya go, have a license to kill, torture/murder implements, now get out there and shoot some poor people!

They also counted several examples of counter-protestors violently attacking peaceful protesters, like in UCLA, so the number is slightly higher still.

So literally 99.99% of violence is done towards campus protestors by either cops or some bus of chuds that came in from out of state

This is what the media always does whenever anyone protests the status quo. Wait for the pigs to show up and start shit, then when the fighting begins turn on the cameras and say “look at all the violence at this protest.” Every single goddamn time.
