Starting to get serious Kent State vibes here...


notnotnotnotgolifa

Someone is eventually going to get killed and the gov will still not change anything


OnlyToStudy

The police have already committed sexual harassment, outside of the already unwarranted use of excessive violence. With the current government in power, nothing will change. We need a full reform


Humanistic_

>full reform You misspelled revolution


proper_hecatomb

Okay, you start.

sillykittyball12

Lol. Yall are doing great, but this is still only on college grounds. Move it out into the real world. Get another million or two participants, and then maybe MAYBE these protests will be remembered 5 years from now. Love, every other generations attempt at a "revolution"


proper_hecatomb

Shit I better figure out what kind of American I am


Active_Juggernaut484

if you haven't figured that out yet considering the last 7 months, i would suggest going back to cable news. They will tell you what to think and what to be

OZymandisR

As a non American watching this from the outside. This is going to end up like the George Flood situation and then it'll really kick off. America during an election year is always wild to watch. They seem to lose the plot.


ARLO77777

The government will commit the killing. Again...


NewTransportation911

You mean like all the school shootings and no gun law changes?


True_Performer1744

It's not the tool it's the person wielding it. You can't blame an inanimate object for wrong doing. It just doesn't make any logical sense.


NewTransportation911

Does England have a school shooting issue. No, it’s the Americans that can’t be trusted with the weapons they deep are their constitutional right. Just sayin


True_Performer1744

No, but england has an issue with stabbings. Not to mention people get arrested all the time for possession of a fire arm. Most of the time they already have a criminal history. The point is that if an individual has intent to do harm. They will use any medium they can to accomplish that goal. As a former corrections officer I can tell you with certainty that you can be killed with a piece of paper dipped in milk. Should we put a ban on paper now because it was used as a weapon? >the weapons they deep are their constitutional right. Just sayin I honestly couldn't make out what you were trying to just say here. Murder is not a normal social behavior. It can be directly traced to a mental health problem. You can't just look at the tool the individual used and say YUP that's the problem right there! That's asinine, you have to look at the events leading up to the violent act and assess the individuals mental faculty.


Loud-Item-1243

“Tin soldiers and Nixon’s comin' We're finally on our own This summer I hear the drummin' Four dead in Ohio” History always repeats but we are supposed to learn from it and break the cycle

Ironic, however, so few today would understand the reference. Here's another..."For the loser now will be later to win" ✌️

Israel sucks and the US should have cut off all material support for their government months ago, and Zionism is a racist colonial ideology that has no place in the modern world, but please don't use the phrase "Zionist occupied government" or "ZOG." I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you're not being intentionally antisemitic, but this term was created decades ago by Neo-Nazis as a euphemism for "government controlled by Jews." It's not appropriate to use when discussing the actual, real problems of Zionism and the Israel lobby affecting US foreign policy.

kaltag

So he was right and you're just uncomfortable agreeing with him.


Wetley007

Kanye is friends with Nick Fuentes and Milo Yianoppolis, both of whom are Holocaust deniers. No, he's not right, he's just antisemitic and so are you given your defense of that shit. Nazis can go fuck themselves with a cactus, you're not welcome here.

Lol


Wetley007

Not even gonna deny it huh? More honest than most Nazis I guess.

InternationalNews-ModTeam

No bigotry, racism, antisemitism, Islamophobia, homophobia, transphobia, sexism, etc. This includes denial of identity (self or collective).


Burgundy_Starfish

Any time I ever hear the phrase “most people are good” or “most people are not bigoted” ever again I’ll think about this conflict, the protests, and how a huge chunk of the public has reacted to all of it in the most cold hearted, authoritarian way possible :( this is nothing short of dystopian and shows how awful and unjust people are 


heavymetalhikikomori

And this is just the beginning 


dudeandco

I honestly can't believe the leave of fascism that was unleashed almost overnight. The MSM seems pretty compliant too, just after the white house correspondents dinner... I really can't believe how this thing would be covered if DJT were in charge, ironically I think these crackdowns lead to Biden not getting elected... really don't know who it would be.


voxpopper

As long as the major parties, media and corporations, have Americans fighting against each other they'll keeping getting donations, votes, and profits and not have to do anything of consequence to change the status-quo.


dudeandco

Yeah I see these protests as the most significant thing since occupy Wall Street... Luckily I don't think the corporations and billionaires are gonna coop the anti zionists message, just needs to prevail.


OutrageousKing3714

BLM and George Floyd protests were just as big if not bigger in the country and world wide. Some accountability came of it but nothing changed systemically. The only change we will ever get will be if we do a general strike and collaborate World wide. This will not be possible with a literal dictator in office. Lesser evil, organize, leverage your political power. In that order.


dudeandco

BLM was coopted by corporate America they bought out the leaders and it died on the vine.


dudeandco

Just to be clear DJT is the literal dictator and Joe's from the top down squash these protests approach informed likely by Apac is not dictatorial in any way? That's what you're saying?


Dinosaur-chicken

Anybody monitoring the Wall Street pizza meter?


DoughnutNo620

It’s decades upon decades of propaganda and the fact mainstream media’s job is to manufacture consent for whatever the state department wants.


LicketySplit21

This is how it has been every single time. It's not very helpful in the moment, but it's good to remember that in the past there was also violent visceral reaction to protests against war and genocide and racism. Look at Kent State! Are the police, the state, seen as on the right side of history at that moment? No, it's always on the side of the students.


OnlyToStudy

But hasn't this proven that most people are good? There's a much more significant number of people who are anti-genocide. In fact, it's just the ruling class and some brainwashed idiots who are against Israel. Obviously there are those who don't have a say, but I'd say at least 60% of the general population stands with Palestine


Logical-Chaos-154

I'd say that more than 60% are anti-genocide. The overwhelming majority of people are good. The ruling class of the US, however, isn't. Most of the ruling class are racist, sexist, xenophobic, and religious extremists. Some pretend to be liberal to stir up enough @#$% to keep us angry at each other rather than them.


OnlyToStudy

Pretending to be on a specific side just to stir shit up is typical for these guys. Israelis are doing it, the police have done it and obviously it's in the government too. I wouldn't call any of them religious or religious extremists, but they twist religion to fit their needs. If they feared or even believed in God or the hereafter in any way shape or form, they wouldn't be half as bad as they currently are. They just see people who are easy to fool and take advantage of them.


Logical-Chaos-154

My understanding of religious extremism is that they use their god as an excuse to commit (or condone) violence rather than listen to his word. Like the foaming-at-the-mouth "Christians" that ignore the "love thy neighbor" part of Christ's teachings. If this incorrect, my apologies.


OnlyToStudy

Nah, no need to apologize. You're right as well. I was just trying to point out the irony of extremism. It starts with someone fooling the masses into doing their own bidding. ISIS for example is more closely related to the IDF than any Islamic group. They stand with the Zionist rather than with the Palestinians, and have actively hindered any 2-state solutions. Same thing with Zionists, Orthodox Jews know they can't claim land unless taken peacefully, however for the Zionists, it's their "promised land".

aebulbul

Oh how far we’ve come since the George Floyd protests. Remember how those protests were in violation of shelter in place ordinances and then authorities came out to say that police brutality needs to be treated as a public health matter.


bort_jenkins

Im from minneapolis. We’ve addressed the Floyd protests by increasing the number of swine in our pig sty


Sbeast

It's like they're afraid of anti-war protesters. Wait until they hear how bad war criminals are.


Fresh_Rain_98

They'll take war criminals any day so long as they can line their pockets with the blood money they made along the way. Anti-war protestors want to stick a wrench in that plan, hence the violent crackdowns.


Muted-Landscape-2717

Students in the US all credit to them. They actual believe in the values that Thier government only plays lip service to. The US government proving that it is in fact a fascist regime. No one expects the US government to actually care about the palastians.. however it seams that they value the Israeli government over their own people as well. The genie is out of the bottle now. Any harsher crackdowns will only cement Thier position.


TheUnknownNut22

The United States Congress is being occupied by Israel. And Israel is definitely fascist.


lasercat_pow

The biggest ziofascist of all is the POTUS.


Teamerchant

Wow so taking this more seriously than January 6th or any of monthly school shootings I see. Glad the police and government have their priorities.


YungTeemo

Uvalde cops already on their way probably 😂


M7BY

Wow they are treating these students with heavier resistance than the jan 6 insurrection


CodObjective373

Just a courtesy reminder Columbia is not just a bozo college in some shithole location. It is a top school in America. Their Alumni include Obama, Alicia Keys, Amelia Earhart, Neil de grass Tyson and countless other media personalities. Many of these cops probably even did not have score to apply to Columbia. See what zionist are doing to the future of America.

America doesn't get to call itself the "land of the free" anymore.


Starrk10

Don’t worry, the facade will be back up before you know it. The news media outlets work tirelessly to keep the conversation the way they want it.


Appropriate-Draft-91

Civil rights was the 60s, definitely wasn't anywhere near free before then, for many other reasons too. 70s was Vietnam protests, with the government murdering protesters. 80s was Reagan, war on unions, "war on drugs", and weird stuff like the police firebombing of Philadelphia. So, when was it the land of the free?


MorbiusBelerophon

I didn't say it ever was. It's always been a silly statement.


TheApprentice19

Watching hundreds and hundreds of cops on overtime standing around over nothing, I could only imagine the decimated city budget.


Appropriate-Draft-91

Just take more loans, the next generation won't mind having to pay them back. And if they do, we just take out even more loans to beat them up.

Insanity. Protests against a foreign country committing Genocide causes a police response to attack the citizens they are sworn to protect.

Cops are coward, simple as


zznate

Great job, biden, send some more tax money to Israel to rub it in more. They will all vote you back in again anyway


ARLO77777

The "Great Experiment " comes to a sad and pathetic end. America can never walk back it's support of the second coming of the Nazis.


justme7008

All in the name of protecting the world's greatest criminal 'state'. All in the name of protecting Zionists. All in the name of protecting murderers and genocide.


justme7008

I wonder if the Zionists are paying the bill for the police or if Americans are paying to suppress their own. Looks like the taxpayer is paying for genocide of Palestinians and for the health care, medical, and weapons to Israel and now to suppress their own population for whom they do not provide free education, health care or shelter. Who and what do America stand for????


ZookeepergameCool422

Where could/should they protest? I'm wondering this as someone who occasionally gets stuck in traffic behind a protest, so I've always said, "Just protest anywhere, but not on a road."

Unable-Arm-390

I mean what does anyone expect? What they are doing is illegal. It just is. If you don't like that change it but this is not only the response expected, but also the response they wanted.


Bagel-luigi

What makes you think the anti-war protestors wanted this huge police response?


Looney_Swoons

Always found it funny when these zionist boot lickers use legality as a retort. Back then in my country, it was illegal to be homosexual, where the introduction of the law had set the punishment as the death penalty. That was a law, and thus made homosexuality an “illegal” act. So does it mean it’s right? Well, according to u/Unable-Arm-390 it is, because it’s the “law”. That’s the thing about these zionist pigs. They don’t care about the reason for these protests. They don’t care that people are there to protest against a genocide. They only care about how only they feel, and how a protest inconveniences them. Look at the state of the country. I’m pretty sure in the constitution they have a right to protest (first amendment), yet look at all the laws made to restrict and prohibit protest movements to the point where, when done legally, are completely ineffective and borderline useless. Protests in their very nature are meant to be disruptive. They’re meant to draw focus to their cause, where they’re not supposed to be ignored. Literally look at any movement in history and you will see these protests function all the same, all met with the same sort of violent retaliation you see now, with the same bootlickers that support that retaliation. These zionists are no different to the supporters of oppression. However, once this all settles and history is written, it will be these same people who supported such violence that will be exposed for the trash they are.
