Police officers told the protesters there the propalestinian protesters that they had to disperse. They use their loudspeakers. And when they did not disperse after a certain amount of time, thats when they moved in. There was a clash between protesters and many of the Police Officers and others who did not push back. They actually locked arms, making it difficult for Police Officers to make arrests in the end. More than 100 people were arrested on the campus of ucla watching that situation very closely as well as universities across the country. President biden, he woke up this morning. He saw the footage. Heres his reaction from a National News conference this morning. So let me be clear. Peaceful protest in america. Violent protest is not protected. Peaceful protest its against the law violence occurs. Destroying property is not a peaceful protest. Its against the law. Vandalism truss passion, breaking windows, shutting down campuses, forcing the cancellation of classes and graduation. None of this is a peaceful protest threatening people, intimidating people hes telling for people is not peaceful protest. Its against the law. The senate is essential to democracy, but the senate must never lead to disorder or to deny the rights of others so students can finish the semester and their college education. Stern message from President Biden and the same message actually about 6 oclock this morning from governor gavin newsom. So take a look at your screen. He took the axe and released this statement. He says i condemn the violence at ucla last night. The law is clear the right to free speech does not extend to inciting violence. Vandalism. Lawlessness on campus. Those who engage in illegal behavior must be held accountable for their actions, including 3 criminal prosecution suspension or expulsion. Let me show you video of the encampment thats been a couple of weeks old at u c berkeley. It is at sproul plaza sproul hall. It is right next to the Police Department literally within feet.
