@StillIRise1963 It's definitely wrong how so many reports stop at repeating accusations of generic anti-semitism, without specifying what's so anti-semitic there.
Police "moved in" and "broke up" the protest? More like assaulted people who weren't in anyone's way.
It's clear that the people in power have decided we're supposed to hate the protestors.
@StillIRise1963 Yet, we matter a lot - when we get angry & start storming their workplaces & blocking roads to their work. Or when they want to do a PR piece to show how much they care about BIPOC folks. Such a load of crap! We only matter when they want to exploit or try to brain-dumb us down. We are terrorists, if we rise up & say - we don't want your lies & fascist shit. We want you to do your freaking jobs or vacate from public office.
@StillIRise1963 I made the mistake of having NPR / VPR on when driving to a friends house. They so obviously manipulated the words to blame everything on the protestors AND they basically insinuated that they are all anti-semitic.
I hope it's going to end up further radicalizing a whole generation of students and young people generally.
I went to a late-70s protest at Kent State over their plans to literally pave over and build on the site of the '70 shootings, to keep it from being a memorial site.
The crowd got attacked by a huge wave of police with truncheons, teargas, some charging on horseback. There was a ton of video showing the unprovoked attack. Sure radicalized me for the last 40+ years.
P.S. The local news ran heavy afternoon coverage with uncut video showing how brutal the police attack had been. By the evening it had been cut to a minute or two of heavily-edited footage to make it look like the police were just protecting the campus.
The next day the NY Times covered it with 1 sentence: "Police dispersed rock-throwing rioters at Kent State."
I've kept my skepticism for the mainstream news ever since, and ESPECIALLY for the NYT.
