Renewed confrontations between police and students opposed to Israel's war in Gaza continued, raising questions about forceful methods being used to shut down protests that have intensified since mass arrests at Columbia University last week.
Renewed confrontations between police and students opposed to Israel's war in Gaza continued, raising questions about forceful methods being used to shut down protests that have intensified since mass arrests at Columbia University last week.
Other universities appear determined to prevent similar, long-running demonstrations to take root, opting to work with police to shut them down quickly and in some cases, with force. The local chapter of the activist group Jewish Voice for Peace said officers used tear gas and tasers to dispense the demonstration and take some protesters into custody.Video broadcast on FOX 5 Atlanta showed a melee breaking out between officers and some protesters, with officers using what appeared to be a stun gun to subdue a person and others wrestling other protesters to the ground and leading them away.
Similar scenarios unfolded on the New Jersey campus of Princeton University where officers cleared a newly formed encampment, video footage on social media showed.
