  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.

    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

    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!
