When A&M had an infestation of BLM protesters and vandals a few years ago, the university president handled them with kid gloves.
She waited too long to act. Didn’t go well with former and current students. It cost the president her job. |

Protesters claim UT called for assistance - hard to tell. Real issue is that it does not appear these were UT student protestors - so UT probably just wanted them off it's lawn. UT does not have the capability of handling large protests. For that matter neither does Austin PD any more. So DPS is it. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By joemama74: Aren't all officers licensed through DPS? If some thing goes down and DPS investigates and finds any wrongdoing on the part of the officers, they might find themselves having a hard time finding a job even as a school crossing guard. So I assume if DPS says they are coming, you cooperate no matter what the regents of the university tell you. Nope. Licensing is thru TCOLE. DPS is statewide and UT is a state school. They don't need to be asked but it would be polite to wait. |

Oh there are a lot of professional protestors that sit in these non-profits and go around radicalizing students. These student groups bring in activists to speak to their clubs, and like I said before most of them are interlinked. One radical can be involved in multiple different school clubs spreading the same shit between them while turning students into the next generation of crazies. The way all of this is funded is like peeling an onion back and figuring out where the money is coming from. A lot of the time it's Soros, unions, DSA, and rich liberals that support certain causes. The main thing here is the radical left joined with radical muslims a long time ago. The left always tries to co-opt groups perceived as being oppressed in some way and they don't care about the details. They just view them as foot soldiers for communism. |

I am just wondering why it's a big deal now, when the authorities and that includes Texas state troopers were doing next to nothing during the Floyd 2020 riots, which often harassed people for being white. College Campuses had groups storming class rooms and shutting it down to harass white students there and none of those had the police banning that nor politicians on both sides of the aisle condemning it. Kamala Harris was paying to bail people out to continue it actually.
  Black Lives Matter protesters harass students studying in Dartmouth University library- TomoNews  'White Silence is Violence' march  BLM protesters confronts woman who won't raise her fist in solidarity Among many many others, including violent attacks. |

And there is a big difference in what happened today at UT with a few protestors vs NY where they are dealing with 100s of protestors that keep taking over public space camping and then sneaking back in to take over the area again each day. Believe it was Coumbia or another college today where they arrested a guy and then released him after the crowd surrounded the police vehicle and officers. |

No. These protests are about hating Jews and/or the country of Israel. Also, leftists and Muslims have been partners in destroying the west for decades. |

Mounted cops did a great job with the BLM protests - so good Austin City Council voted to defund them. Glad DPS still has them. Nothing breaks a line of protesters like a couple 1500lb horse walking through it. They can not do much with arrests though - well other than cause a national news crisis. If you get off the horse to do the arrest, someone else has to hold it. If you tie up the criminal, the optics look terrible. But they are great for breaking lines, and offer a nice view over the riot.

Harvard revoked their status on campus a few days ago and UT should do the same. A lot of these protestors on campus aren't even students but leftist agitators and people who were involved in the Floyd riots. Edit- There is not going to be some spontaneous student protest on campus that includes professionally made signs, drums, and someone with a bullhorn leading their chants. |

Campus police initially appeared open to negotiating with protesters when they arrived but those efforts fell apart within the first hour. One officer singled out a protest organizer in a gold scarf, saying he would be the “first to go.” That protester was the first to be arrested.

As far as the arrested "reporter" scroll down through this X tweet for the video. He ran up and shoved his camera into the back of a DPS trooper and they sacked him for it.
