I respect their coverage, and absolutely agree with their conclusions, but it is false to say that it is different now. Being involved in mass protest during the period, I can tell you unequivocally that police acted with widespread violence to peaceful protest. This ain’t new. They get to choose when things are unlawful. Nonviolence will always be met by unrelenting violence by police. This is who we are as a society. ACAB today and every day. Solidarity with all who are protesting and putting their bodies and educations on the line for Palestine.
