Most of the campus protests were non-violent, why did the cops come in?
Maybe if you need to arrest the troublemakers but anything else is not cool man.
If the school requests they disband or vacate, and the students fail to comply, they can be charged with trespassing. I’m not defending the actions of the college or the police. I’m just stating that the school defines acceptable conduct on its grounds. Even state schools have conduct policies.
Also, the President does not control the police. They report to the mayor. If the President dispatched the National Guard, like Trump did to the protesters in Portland and DC, then you could blame Biden.
Get out of here with your 'reason' and 'facts'!
The Biden administration may not be directly responsible, but just like Trump, his endorsement of racism and fascism emboldens the racists and fascists to act more openly.
What Trump did by having protesters shot with rubber bullets by the National Guard in DC and driving tanks through Portland was certainly fascist. How has Biden been fascist to protesters?
I never said Biden was a fascist, though I am saying that now. Biden is a corporo-fascist, just like nearly every US politician.
What I said was that he endorses fascism, i.e. a fascist state, i.e. Israel.
So you’re saying the police were dispatched because Israel is fascist, and Biden supports Israel, therefore Biden supports fascism, and that empowers the local police.
Reaching like that, you should stretch before you pull something.
Yeah, that’s the Association fallacy
No, I said exactly what I mean. Go back and reread my comments, 'cause I'm not repeating myself again.
This might be helpful for you.
By definition a liberal is not a fascist.
You don't even know what you are talking about.
Biden is a fascist in liberal face
Germans or Italians of 1942 probably didn't think their government was fascist either.
Whatever helps you sleep at night
Because there is no reason to voting for a right-wing fascist like Biden
It's not up to us to name candidates to run against Trump. It was Democrats responsibility to hold their politicians accountable so that people like Trump are not a possibility. Instead, Democrats stood by and watched their own party keep most of Trump's regressive policies
It's that same dismissive smug attitude that will help your party and your candidate lose
Nice try someone's. Got to hold you and your politicians accountable
No, I think you should look up the differences between fascists and liberals.
Biden is the most liberal who ever liberalled.
He is the liberal version of trump, He's done several of the same things that Trump has done that liberals cried out about but are now silent on those same actions.
Please list the several things.
It's really insane that the police get called on US citizens peacefully protesting against a genocide in a foreign country.
