    Most of the campus protests were non-violent, why did the cops come in?

    Maybe if you need to arrest the troublemakers but anything else is not cool man.

      If the school requests they disband or vacate, and the students fail to comply, they can be charged with trespassing. I’m not defending the actions of the college or the police. I’m just stating that the school defines acceptable conduct on its grounds. Even state schools have conduct policies.

      Also, the President does not control the police. They report to the mayor. If the President dispatched the National Guard, like Trump did to the protesters in Portland and DC, then you could blame Biden.

        The Biden administration may not be directly responsible, but just like Trump, his endorsement of racism and fascism emboldens the racists and fascists to act more openly.

          What Trump did by having protesters shot with rubber bullets by the National Guard in DC and driving tanks through Portland was certainly fascist. How has Biden been fascist to protesters?

            I never said Biden was a fascist, though I am saying that now. Biden is a corporo-fascist, just like nearly every US politician.

            What I said was that he endorses fascism, i.e. a fascist state, i.e. Israel.
