"I think I heard someone sing 'blowing in the wind', they must have bombs - engage, engage!"

In keeping with Israel's disproportionate response to the October attack by Hamas

Well but see, they’re all over 8 years old and none of the students are carrying, so it’s safe for DPS to go in heavy.

Disgusting. They care more about hurting the protesters than actual order

The demons running Texas want to make an example of them. This shit will backfire on them long-term, it always does.

That’s a feature not a bug.

Cops will escalate to justify use of deadly force.

Or as they’d call it “an excuse to have some fun.”

My wife was there. Said it was absurd. Just a normal medium sized group of students with signs standing around like happens all the time.

This is bad.

Why can't students protest against bombing and massive deaths of innocents in Gaza without being called antisemites? I don't get it

God
Damn
It

It's a protest against Israel in a red state, of course they'd do it like this.

Congrats I guess. These overbearing idiots are creating an entirely new generation of young people who will NOT be tolerant of this and will be voting appropriately when the time comes.

Making those good ole boys’ day🙄

Yep. A few of these [redacted] are grinning

Photos of DPS' last big turn out for comparison

Explicitly announced as an effort to control speech.

I am glad it hasn’t caused as much death as Kent State, and also glad that public sentiment in the moment seems more in favor of the students than it was back then.
