Police in riot gear arrest, disperse pro-Palestinian protesters at USC

Some people cooperated and began walking off campus, however, over 100 people remained, including a group gathered in a circle and standing with their arms linked. Officers began surrounding the circle and the nearby crowds began chanting, "We only wanted peace!" and "Hands off students!"
Officers began arresting several people from the circle before some voluntarily surrendered. The protestors remained mostly peaceful throughout the demonstration outside of several isolated incidents. Earlier in the day, a scuffle erupted between law enforcement and pro-Palestinian demonstrators at the University of Southern California Wednesday, prompting school officials to close the campus to all but students.
The protesters, including students and off-campus participants, erected banners and pitched tents in Alumni Park early in the morning, a scene similar to demonstrations occurring on many other college campuses in the U.S.
KTLA's Rachel Menitoff, John Fenoglio and Gil Leyvas reported on April 24, 2024.

Most of those students no little about Israel or Palestine, and don't care to learn their history. It's just an opportunity to gather together, make a little noise, and feel powerful, as though they were fighting injustice.
